“Habituality And The Habitual Aspect Bt - Theoretical And Crosslinguistic Approaches To The Semantics Of Aspect, Rothstein, Susan [Ed], Amsterdam, The Netherlands: John Benjamins, 2008, Pp 321-347”. בתוך Theoretical And Crosslinguistic Approaches To The Semantics Of Aspect, Rothstein, Susan [Ed], Amsterdam, The Netherlands: John Benjamins, 2008, Pp 321-347. .
Publisher's Version תקציר The paper examines the linguistic expression of habituality showing that two concepts must be distinguished: gnomic habituality & actualized habituality. It is claimed, on the basis of Modern Hebrew, that the two concepts are derived from non-quantificational habitual operators – Hab which is modal & yields gnomic habituality, & (phi)Hab which is aspectual & yields actualized habituality. The core meaning of both operators is iteration over a contextually long interval. Syntactically, the operators differ with respect to their position: Hab is argued to be a VP-level adverb & (phi)Hab – an aspectual head. This is correlated with the fact that gnomic habituality is expressed via the simple form of the verb while the expression of actualized habituality involves periphrasis. The paper ends with a diachronic consideration of the Hebrew periphrastic form suggesting that its habitual use can already be detected in Biblical Hebrew. Figures, References.

“Are There Positive Effects Of Having A Sibling With Special Needs? Empathy And Prosociality Of Twins Of Children With Non-Typical Development”. Child Development, n/a.
תקציר Abstract This study examined whether typically developing (TD) twins of non-TD children demonstrate enhanced empathy and prosociality. Of 778 Hebrew-speaking Israeli families who participated in a twin study, 63 were identified to have a non-TD child with a TD twin, and 404 as having both twins TD. TD twins of non-TD children (27% males) were compared to the rest of the cohort of TD children (46% males) on measures of empathy and prosociality. Participants were 11 years old. TD twins of non-TD children scored significantly higher than TD twins of TD children in a measure of cognitive empathy (d = .43). No differences were found in emotional empathy and prosociality. The specificity of the positive effect on cognitive empathy is discussed.

“Does The Platform Matter? Social Media And Covid-19 Conspiracy Theory Beliefs In 17 Countries”. New Media & Society, Pp. 14614448211045666.
תקציר While the role of social media in the spread of conspiracy theories has received much attention, a key deficit in previous research is the lack of distinction between different types of platforms. This study places the role of social media affordances in facilitating the spread of conspiracy beliefs at the center of its enquiry. We examine the relationship between platform use and conspiracy theory beliefs related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Relying on the concept of technological affordances, we theorize that variation across key features make some platforms more fertile places for conspiracy beliefs than others. Using data from a crossnational dataset based on a two-wave online survey conducted in 17 countries before and after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we show that Twitter has a negative effect on conspiracy beliefs—as opposed to all other platforms under examination which are found to have a positive effect.
