In turn, users have varying degrees of awareness of matching algorithms. Unfortunately, little is known about how awareness of algorithmic functioning relates to online dating. This research examined the relationship between algorithm awareness, trust in algorithms, and satisfaction with the quality of matches. A survey was conducted among 500 users of the Dutch dating app Breeze, presented to respondents within the app itself. Relationships were estimated with structural equation modeling. Higher algorithm awareness was associated with more trust in algorithms, which positively related to satisfaction with the quality of matches. This mediated association between awareness and satisfaction with matches suggested that awareness of matching algorithms is associated with better outcomes of dating app use. This research contributes to the limited literature on human–algorithm interaction on dating apps. Overall, the results suggest that algorithm awareness may be a relevant part of the online dating experience.","PeriodicalId":10872,"journal":{"name":"Cyberpsychology, behavior and social networking","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149093326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on the Integrative Model of Mobile Media Use and Need Experiences (IM³UNE), this study provides empirical evidence on the adoption of digital agency tools and their potential in mitigating ill-being (depression, anxiety, and stress) associated with excessive smartphone use. We conducted a quota-based online survey involving n = 384 (Mage = 49.6) smartphone users in Flanders (Belgium). The results provide a systematization of different digital agency tools, showing they are widely used among adults. Importantly, we provide preliminary evidence on their potential in buffering ill-being due to excessive smartphone use. For users of detox apps and in-app well-being features, the associations between excessive use and ill-being were nonsignificant, unlike for nonusers of these tools. For users of default device settings, such as iOS ScreenTime, there were no differences. Our findings contribute to theory by applying and empirically testing critical elements of the IM³UNE model. Empirically, our findings indicate the importance of studying different types of tools, as they do not appear to be equally beneficial.","PeriodicalId":10872,"journal":{"name":"Cyberpsychology, behavior and social networking","volume":"29 10","pages":"697-703"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149069448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While prior research has primarily highlighted flow's optimal facets, this study argues that in passive media contexts, flow may also embody maladaptive qualities. Drawing on dual-process theory, SFV engagement is conceptualized as predominantly driven by intuitive processing in System 1 (heuristic processing related), through which flow weakens self-control monitoring of System 2 (systematic processing related). To capture the underlying psychological mechanisms, flow is reconceptualized as a passive psychological state comprising both immersive and maladaptive dimensions (i.e., concentration, enjoyment, telepresence, heightened arousal, affective reliance, and loss of self-reflection). In addition, the desirability- and feasibility-related cues embedded in digital environments are examined as heuristic triggers of passive flow state, while overestimation of self-control is conceptualized as a critical mediator linking flow to compulsive use. Survey data from 842 SFV users were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. The findings revealed that overestimation of self-control emerges as the strongest driver of compulsive use, exceeding the total effect of flow. Flow is found to both directly impact compulsive SFV use and indirectly through increasing the overestimation of self-control. At the subdimensional level, flow's dimensions exert divergent effects, with concentration, telepresence, and affective reliance significantly intensifying compulsive use and/or overestimation of self-control. By integrating a dual-process perspective with a multidimensional conceptualization of flow, this study advances understanding of how passive flow state fosters metacognitive bias and compulsive engagement, offering theoretical and practical insights to promote more sustainable digital environments that support users' well-being.","PeriodicalId":10872,"journal":{"name":"Cyberpsychology, behavior and social networking","volume":" ","pages":"712-722"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148789332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the psychological mechanisms underlying emotional attachment to these artificial agents remain underexplored compared to their human counterparts. This study investigates how VHI self-disclosure influences emotional attachment, positing parasocial relationships as a mediator and perceived attractiveness and humanness as boundary conditions. We analyzed online survey data from 540 young adults familiar with VHIs using a moderated mediation framework. The findings reveal a complex dynamic distinct from human interaction: VHI self-disclosure generally hindered parasocial relationship formation unless the VHI was perceived as physically attractive. This suggests attractiveness acts as a requisite gateway for users to accept artificial disclosure as relationally meaningful. Subsequently, parasocial relationships strongly predicted emotional attachment, an effect significantly amplified by perceived humanness. Consequently, self-disclosure indirectly promoted emotional attachment only when the VHI was viewed as both attractive and human-like. These results delineate the distinct roles of VHI attributes: Attractiveness facilitates the initial establishment of a social connection (parasocial relationship), whereas perceived humanness deepens this bond into a meaningful emotional attachment. Theoretically, this study expands the understanding of human-agent interaction by identifying these differential pathways. Practically, it suggests that developers must prioritize high visual attractiveness to make VHI interactions acceptable, while simultaneously imbuing agents with human-like qualities to foster lasting emotional loyalty.","PeriodicalId":10872,"journal":{"name":"Cyberpsychology, behavior and social networking","volume":" ","pages":"734-745"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149011971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to examine the associations between cyberbullying involvement, considering the roles of cybervictim, cyberaggressor, and cyberbystander, and three psychoeducational constructs: social anxiety, school refusal, and academic goals. A total of 1,412 Spanish secondary and upper-secondary school students aged 12-18 years (M = 14.36, SD = 1.65) completed a battery of questionnaires assessing cyberbullying, social anxiety, school refusal, and academic goals. Three independent binary logistic regression models were conducted, one for each cyberbullying role, using the psychoeducational dimensions as predictors. The findings showed that the associations varied according to both the psychoeducational dimension and the cyberbullying role. In particular, Discomfort and avoidance in social situations in general was positively associated with cybervictimization, cyberaggression, and cyberbystanding, whereas other dimensions of social anxiety showed negative associations with some roles. Avoidance of stimuli or situations related to the school context was positively associated with the three cyberbullying roles. Learning and Achievement goals were negatively associated with cybervictimization, cyberaggression, and cyberbystanding, whereas Social reinforcement goals were positively associated with cyberaggression. These findings highlight the multidimensional nature of the associations between psychoeducational factors and cyberbullying involvement and support the consideration of individual and educational variables in the design of prevention and intervention strategies during adolescence.","PeriodicalId":10872,"journal":{"name":"Cyberpsychology, behavior and social networking","volume":" ","pages":"723-733"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148873224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Study 1, 50 Korean university students created avatars under four conditions using iFland: free creation, private context, public context, and actual-self representation. Study 2 involved 100 independent raters evaluating the public suitability of freely created avatars. Results revealed that 96 percent created avatars differing from their actual appearance. Counterintuitively, individuals with higher public self-consciousness and agreeableness were significantly less likely to modify avatars for public contexts (p < 0.05). Study 2 confirmed that unmodified avatars were rated more suitable for public contexts (p < 0.05), suggesting that socially conscious individuals proactively incorporated appropriateness into initial designs. These preliminary findings suggest that Korean university students' cultural emphasis on social harmony may shape virtual identity through anticipatory rather than reactive customization, though cross-cultural replication with diverse samples is needed to establish the generalizability of these patterns.","PeriodicalId":10872,"journal":{"name":"Cyberpsychology, behavior and social networking","volume":" ","pages":"704-711"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148697232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This controlled experiment examined how respectful versus directive prompting-a culturally meaningful contrast in Korean-affects Korean users' psychological experience during LLM interactions. Forty-three Korean female college students were randomly assigned to respectful prompt (RP) (using polite requests, compliments, and gratitude) or directive prompt (DP) (using imperatives, criticism, and performance-based penalties) conditions. Participants completed a writing task using ChatGPT. Results indicated that RPs yielded significantly higher satisfaction, particularly for affinity and likability, whereas the difference in perceived output quality was smaller and nonsignificant. Furthermore, RPs elicited socially supportive ChatGPT responses, whereas DPs were followed by apologies, suggesting bidirectional social adaptation between users and ChatGPT. Together, these findings suggest that culturally grounded communicative conventions may shape users' subjective experience even where perceived output quality does not differ significantly, pointing to culturally adaptive large language model systems that recognize diverse communication patterns as essential design considerations rather than imposing universal paradigms.","PeriodicalId":10872,"journal":{"name":"Cyberpsychology, behavior and social networking","volume":" ","pages":"746-753"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148929241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
