Negative influence of early social media use on school outcomes

Longitudinal effect of early social media use on standardized learning outcomes during school career

Longitudinal effect of early social media use on standardized learning outcomes during school careerNature Human Behaviour, Published online: 03 August 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02522-4Analysing data from 5,227 students from northern Italy, this article finds causal evidence that early engagement with social media adversely affects learning outcomes.dlvr.it

A life-course map of health risks associated with exposure to second-hand smoke

A life-course map of health risks associated with exposure to second-hand smokeNature Human Behaviour, Published online: 31 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02481-wWe synthesized evidence from 111 meta-analyses to map the comprehensive health risks that are associated with second-hand smoke exposure (SHSE) throughout the life course. Our analyses confirm the strong association of SHSE with lung cancer, cardiovascular disease and a range of adverse fetal and child health outcomes. Moreover, we identify research gaps that should be addressed to inform targeted tobacco control.dlvr.it

Insights from climate psychology for misinformation research

Insights from climate psychology for misinformation researchNature Human Behaviour, Published online: 20 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02530-4Climate change and misinformation are interconnected global crises shaped by tensions between individual, collective and vested interests. Drawing on climate psychology, we distil six insights for misinformation research to strengthen policy relevance, systems thinking and resilience to attacks.dlvr.it

Association of traumatic experiences with depressive symptoms among LGBTQ+ population in China

Association of traumatic experiences with depressive symptoms among LGBTQ+ population in ChinaNature Human Behaviour, Published online: 16 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02518-0Yang et al. found that trauma is highly prevalent among LGBTQ+ individuals in China and linked to depression. Unhealthy behaviours, low social support and negative coping partly explain this relationship, highlighting key targets for intervention.dlvr.it

Online consumer reviews can no longer be trusted

Online consumer reviews can no longer be trustedNature Human Behaviour, Published online: 13 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02527-zFrom fake reviews that harm businesses, to humorous reviews that mock consumerism, to culture-war review bombing, some online reviews cannot be trusted to provide objective evaluations. Once a source of sincere advice, online review platforms have spawned new forms of disingenuous behaviour that may hurt consumers.dlvr.it

Why using AI as a learning coach can improve education

Why using AI as a learning coach can improve educationNature Human Behaviour, Published online: 13 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02524-2Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming classrooms, and promising adaptive teaching and personalized education. However, AI tools may also weaken students’ ability to think and learn independently. Schools and universities should use AI as a coach to support self-regulated learning.dlvr.it

Common and rare genetic variant associations with cognitive performance across development in British birth cohorts

Common and rare genetic variant associations with cognitive performance across development in British birth cohortsNature Human Behaviour, Published online: 10 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02491-8Associations between polygenic indices and cognitive ability in children increase with age while rare damaging variant associations attenuate, with differential effects across the cognitive ability distribution.dlvr.it

Smallpox in colonial Australia

Smallpox in colonial AustraliaNature Human Behaviour, Published online: 09 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02517-1Colonial-era epidemics reshaped Aboriginal communities, yet the origins and spread of the 1789 smallpox outbreak remain contested. Nitschke et al. use stochastic modelling to suggest the outbreak heavily affected southeastern Australia, and that much of the continent may not have experienced epidemic-scale smallpox in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century.dlvr.it

Stochastic models indicate rapid smallpox spread and mass mortality of Indigenous Australians after colonial exposure

Stochastic models indicate rapid smallpox spread and mass mortality of Indigenous Australians after colonial exposureNature Human Behaviour, Published online: 09 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02504-6Nitschke and colleagues use historical data and epidemiological modelling to examine evidence for the 1789 smallpox epidemic in Australia. Their results indicate a likely southeastern origin, high mortality and limited spread.dlvr.it

Individual gaze is linked to neural tuning and perceptual skills

Individual gaze is linked to neural tuning and perceptual skillsNature Human Behaviour, Published online: 08 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02499-0Gaze behaviour is marked by striking individual differences. We used eye tracking and brain imaging to decipher the mechanisms that underlie these differences, which revealed that the individual tendency to look at faces or text is systematically linked to how well the visual brain can process these stimuli.dlvr.it

Active vision is linked to category selectivity in the individual brainNature Human Behaviour, Published online: 07 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02494-5In this Article, Kollenda et al. find that individual differences in gaze are linked to neural tuning in individual brains: stronger tendencies to look at faces or text correlate with more distinct neural representations of the corresponding category.dlvr.it

Two roads to prosociality

Two roads to prosocialityNature Human Behaviour, Published online: 06 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02442-3A large-scale study reveals that children as young as three years old show stable prosocial intuitions when making social decisions. As children grow older, deliberative reasoning increasingly supports prosocial choices, and converges with intuition by the age of eight — thus illuminating how gut feelings and reflective thought jointly shape the development of human cooperation.dlvr.it

Bridging the divide in motor learning researchNature Human Behaviour, Published online: 06 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02519-zMotor learning research has developed into two largely separate communities, one focused more on basic and the other more on applied research. Grießbach et al. examine this divide in tasks, theories and culture and outline opportunities for an integrated science of how we learn movement skills.dlvr.it

Stable intuition and the rise of deliberative prosociality in childhoodNature Human Behaviour, Published online: 06 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02487-4In children aged 3–10 years, intuitive responses lead to more prosocial choices in early childhood, while deliberate reasoning increasingly supports cooperative, fair and honest decisions with age.dlvr.it

Many conferences lack clear information about disability access

Many conferences lack clear information about disability accessNature Human Behaviour, Published online: 03 July 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02514-4The logistics and structural barriers of many research conferences prevent full participation of people with disabilities. We review the websites of 161 conferences and show that there is substantial room for improved communication about barriers. We also suggest ideas for quick and low-budget stopgap accessibility improvements.dlvr.it
