Introducing AI to an online petition platform changed outputs but not outcomes
Nature Human Behaviour, Published online: 30 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02580-8Corpus et al. examine how the introduction of an AI writing tool impacted Change.org petitions, finding that it increased petition homogeneity but did not improve petition outcomes.

AI amplifies experts, not expertise
Nature Human Behaviour, Published online: 29 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02604-3Acquiring knowledge and expertise is a long process. Today, artificial intelligence (AI) tools can amplify what people are able to do, but this may pose problems for the development of the next generation of experts, argues Sheng-Tun Li.

Effects of land acknowledgements on non-Indigenous audiences in Australia and the USA
Nature Human Behaviour, Published online: 25 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02520-6McNamee and Peyton find that land acknowledgements raise awareness of, but not curiosity about, Indigenous nations. These practices improve organizational reputations, but their effects on political attitudes and support for reparations are insignificant.

Why girls have worse mental health than boys
Nature Human Behaviour, Published online: 22 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02577-3Analyses of data from more than 3,000 adolescents found that loneliness and desire for thinness contribute to the higher prevalence of depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation among girls than in boys. Young people’s perspectives informed the pathways that were investigated.

What chimpanzees at war have taught me about being human
Nature Human Behaviour, Published online: 21 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02601-6Seeing a deadly ‘civil war’ unfold among chimpanzees has been a painful experience for John Mitani. His decades of watching wild great apes now evoke his family’s experience with xenophobia. But to him, the war highlights what makes humans unique: not our conflicts, but our unparalleled capacity for tolerance and cooperation.

There is no clear target for replication rates
Nature Human Behaviour, Published online: 21 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02602-5Is a 50% replication rate too high, too low or just right? We need a target replication rate to answer this question. Here, I evaluate two potential target rates, the ‘optimal’ replication rate and the ‘expected’ replication rate, and I call for an educational intervention to better appreciate their limitations.

Loneliness and desire for thinness explain sex differences in adolescent internalizing problems
Nature Human Behaviour, Published online: 15 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02578-2Girls tend to show higher rates of depression and suicidal ideation than boys. This work suggests that loneliness and pressure to be thin explain much of this gap, suggesting that social factors are key targets for youth-focused support, policy and intervention.
