Disentangling psychological congestion in the exhibition event: An experimental inquiry of the integrated model
Crowding is a powerful factor that overwhelms human beings. For exhibition industry, minimizing psychological congestion under the condition that the established visitors cannot be reduced is the core concern. Based on stimulus overload theory and arousal attribution theory, we established a 2 (exhibition environment: outdoors vs. indoors)×2 (the order of visit: orderliness vs. disorderliness) between-subject scenario experimental design in a high-tech exhibition scenario to investigate the effect of exhibition conditions on tourists’ crowding perceptions. Several novel findings were obtained: 1) the exhibition environment and exhibition order affect individual perception of crowding; 2) crowding perception fully mediates only the relationship between the exhibition environment and emotion; 3) personality (introversion vs. extroversion) moderates visitors’ perceptions of crowding; and 4) visitors’ emotions fully mediate the relationship between perceived crowding and perceived value. This paper provides a systematic theoretical analytical framework for understanding the phenomenon of crowding from a social and environmental psychology perspective and has practical implications for crowding management and visitor experience value optimization in the exhibition sector.

The Epistemological Challenge of Truth Subversion to the Liberal International Order
Truth-subversion practices, which populist leaders utilize for political domination, are a significant source of current pressure on the Liberal International Order (LIO). Truth-subversion practices include false speak (flagrant lying to subvert the concept of facts), double speak (intentional internal contradictions in speech to erode reason), and flooding (the emission of many messages into the public domain to create confusion). Aiming to destroy liberal truth ideals and practices, truth subversion weakens epistemological security; that is, the experience of orderliness and safety that results from people's and institutions’ shared understandings of their common-sense reality. It privileges baseless claims over fact-based opinions, thus creating communities of the like-minded between which communication becomes impossible. Truth subversion challenges the LIO's three key institutions: democracy, markets, and multilateralism. If truth-subversion practices prevail, societal polarization, inaccurate information, and emotional inflaming strain democracy and human rights protections. Markets that depend for their functioning on accurate information can falter, and multilateralism that relies on communication and reasoned consensus can decay. International relations (IR) scholarship has recognized knowledge production practices as a key feature underlying the LIO, but has not yet identified challenges to those practices as a threat for the LIO. We discuss what the discipline can do to alleviate its blind spots.

STRATEGIC MODEL OF ENSURING SOCIO-ECONOMIC SECURITY OF ENTERPRISES IN THE CONTEXT OF INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT
The problem of guaranteeing the socio-economic security of enterprises is of particular importance in the context of innovative development, which is determined by the high pace and dynamics of technological, market, and social transformations. This is a period of increased vulnerability and instability of enterprises, since innovative development can be accompanied by unpredictable organizational and social consequences. In this context, it has been proven that the socio-economic security of an enterprise is equivalent to its stable and productive functioning, preservation of its identity, and is the basis for the full realization of its mission.The purpose of the study is to create a strategic model for ensuring the socio-economic security of enterprises and to develop, on this basis, a methodological approach aimed at progressively increasing the level of socio-economic security of the enterprise on the basis of innovative development.The theoretical and methodological basis of the study was a number of scientific ideas and concepts: the views of scientists on the essence and content of socio-economic security of an enterprise, a systematic approach to economics, the concept of hierarchical levels of economic security, the concept of components and levels of socio-economic security of enterprises, and the concept of innovative potential of enterprise personnel.A universal model for ensuring the socio-economic security of enterprises in the context of innovative development has been created, which can be used to create a safe socio-economic space at enterprises of various types and content of activities. The model defines the strategic goals of ensuring socio-economic security, which constitute its substantive core, and also sets criteria and indicators of efficiency of the organization of the safe environment of the enterprise, which form the basis of a methodological approach to assessing the state of its provision. It is proven that the socio-economic security of an enterprise should be considered and ensured in an inseparable connection with its innovative development.

Towards a better understanding of adolescent obsessive–compulsive personality traits and obsessive–compulsive symptoms from growth trajectories of perfectionism
Although there is increasing attention for the interrelationship between obsessive–compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) and obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), their shared characteristics in terms of childhood trait antecedents remain understudied. Perfectionism may be a viable candidate trait antecedent, given its role in the clinical manifestation of both OCPD and OCD in adulthood, and the evidence that perfectionism reflects a dispositional tendency observable from childhood onwards. However, little is known about childhood trajectories of perfectionism with prospective links to later OCPD versus OCD. Using latent growth curve modeling, this study explored the baseline and growth of childhood perfectionism in 485 community and referred children (55.5% girls, 7.17–14.78 years old, Mage = 10.74, SD = 1.50) across three waves. Adolescent OCPD traits and OCD symptoms were measured in Wave 4. An overall decreasing trend of perfectionism from childhood through adolescence appeared, without inter-individual differences in growth. Individual differences in baseline levels of childhood perfectionism were significant, and equally predicting adolescent OCPD and OCD outcomes. At a more specific level, childhood perfectionism predicted most strongly the rigid perfectionism component of OCPD, and the orderliness/cleanliness/perfectionism and obsession domain of OCD. This demonstrates the value of childhood perfectionism for understanding differential outcomes of adolescent OCPD traits and OCD symptoms.
