Let A and B be unital rings. An additive map T:A→ B is called a weighted Jordan homomorphism if c=T(1) is an invertible central element and cT(x2) = T(x)2 for all x∈ A. We provide assumptions, which are in particular fulfilled when A=B=Mn(R) with n≥ 2 and R any unital ring with (1)/(2), under which every surjective additive map T:A→ B with the property that T(x)T(y)+T(y)T(x)=0 whenever xy=yx=0 is a weighted Jordan homomorphism. Further, we show that if A is a prime ring with char(A)≠ 2,3,5, then a bijective additive map T:A→ A is a weighted Jordan homomorphism provided that there exists an additive map S:A→ A such that S(x2)=T(x)2 for all x∈ A.
