“…Moreover, the good match between the mindsponge mechanism and Bayesian inference produces five distinct strong points of BMF analytics. Thanks to these strengths, the BMF analytics has been successfully applied to explore various social, psychological, and behavioral issues in multiple disciplines, such as mental health [3] , education [4] , environmental psychology [5] , public health [6] , scientific publishing [7] , security [8] , etc.…”

“…The data were analyzed using R software (version 4.0.2) with the bayesvl package (Q.-H. Q.-H. Vuong, La, Nguyen, Ho, Tran, et al, 2020). The package has been employed in several psychological studies using BMF (M.-H. Q.-H. Vuong et al, 2021aQ.-H. Vuong et al, , 2021b due to its good visualization power and user-friendly, transparent operation. The analysis was run using 5000 iterations (2000 are warm-up iterations), four Markov chains, and four cores.…”

Acculturative stress can be a big problem for international students. Among all the difficulties they may face, adjusting to new foods in a new environment is crucial to their well-being. Research related to food acculturation is limited but also hints at gender differences. Using the Bayesian analysis approach with the Hamiltonian MCMC (Markov Chain Monte Carlo) technique on a sample of 268 students from a Japanese international university, we found that female students are more likely to have perceived difficulties in the process of adjusting to new foods, but social connectedness lessens this effect. We also found no significant differences between domestic and international students regarding perceived difficulties on food adjustment in this highly multicultural study site. We suggest international universities provide better information about the food situations on campuses, especially for female students, and organize more cultural exchange events and food-related social activities to help students overcome barriers of food stress.

“…This analytical approach has been found effective in investigating various psychological phenomena, such as attitude towards biodiversity loss preventive measure, suicidal ideation, book-reading interest, etc. [30,[34][35][36]. In this study, models were initially constructed based on the Mindsponge information processing mechanism to examine how perceptions towards biodiversity loss may affect the willingness to pay for the entrance fee and conservation through the support of conservation as a preventive measure [37,38].…”

The rapidly declining biosphere integrity, representing one of the core planetary boundaries, is alarming. One of the most widely accepted measures to halt the rate of biodiversity loss is to maintain and expand protected areas that are effectively managed. However, it requires substantial finance derived from nature-based tourism, specifically visitors from urban areas. Using the Bayesian Mindsponge Framework (BMF) on 535 Vietnamese urban residents, the current study examined how their biodiversity loss perceptions can affect their willingness to pay for the entrance fee and conservation in protected areas. We found that perceived environmental degradation, loss of economic growth, loss of nature-based recreation opportunity, and loss of knowledge as consequences of biodiversity loss has indirect effects on paying willingness through the mediation of the attitude towards conservation. Especially, the perceived knowledge loss also has a direct positive influence on the willingness to pay for the entrance fee and conservation. In contrast, perceived loss of health is negatively associated with the attitude towards conservation. Based on these findings, we suggest that building an eco-surplus culture among urban residents can be a promising way to generate more finance from nature-based tourism for conservation in protected areas and ease the domestic government’s and international organizations’ funding allocations problems.
