In addition, invariance by sex was observed, as well as associations with generalised anxiety (r = 0.27, p = 0.001), depressive symptoms (r = 0.21, p = 0.001), and anger (r = 0.47, p = 0.001).ConclusionThe results support the QUPTW as a valid, reliable, and sex-invariant instrument for assessing emotional well-being associated with public transport use in adults in Metropolitan Lima, Peru. These findings provide evidence of its adequacy within this specific urban Latin American context and should be interpreted with caution when generalising to other cultural settings. Its application is useful both for research purposes and for the design of interventions aimed at promoting mental health and improving quality of life in similar urban contexts.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsoc.2026.1834401 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsoc.2026.1834401 <![CDATA[Impact of globalisation on family relationships and dynamics as expressed by married adults in Lagos State, Nigeria]]> 2026-05-04T00:00:00Z Original Research Lateef Omotosho AdegboyegaOmoshalewaLasbat AkinsemoyinShukurat Modupe Oloyede https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsoc.2026.1853323 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsoc.2026.1853323 <![CDATA[Editorial: Navigating equality: addressing stigma and discrimination against sexual and gender minorities in access to gender-affirming healthcare]]> 2026-05-04T00:00:00Z Editorial Evangelos C.
