Despite their popularity, concerns have emerged regarding their impact on users' perception of time. This study (<i>N</i> = 151) investigated the relationship between watching VEL and time perception, valence, and arousal. A novel digital time-guessing task was developed and embedded within a 14-day experience sampling design to ensure ecological validity and assess the real-life effects of VEL consumption. In addition, a short-term retest approach, nested within the daily assessments, allowed us to examine the temporal dynamics of possible effects. While no immediate differences in time perception were found between the reference measurement and directly after VEL consumption, significant differences in time estimation were observed 15 and 30 minutes later. In contrast, VEL had no lasting effects on participants' valence and arousal, apart from brief changes directly after viewing. These findings indicate that watching VEL is associated with subjective time perception, albeit with a delayed effect. Given the small-to-medium effect size (β ≈ 0.20) within this specific sample (young, educated, female, and German-speaking) and the high frequency with which individuals engage with VEL in daily life, this effect may have meaningful implications for users' temporal orientation and media consumption behavior.</p>","PeriodicalId":10872,"journal":{"name":"Cyberpsychology, behavior and social networking","volume":" ","pages":"445-451"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148027920","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}

Adolescence is a crucial developmental period with distinct stages (early, middle, late); each stage is influenced by unique psychological, physiological, and social dynamics. While prior studies primarily focus on negative impacts of problematic short video use (PSVU) on adolescents, the age-specific characteristics of PSVU remain obscure, which is important for effective prevention and intervention. This study utilized network analysis to investigate the central symptoms and network structure of PSVU across early, middle, and late adolescence. The data were collected from a large sample of 48,489 adolescents using a modified 6-item Facebook addiction scale. Results indicated that tolerance and withdrawal were consistently among the most central symptoms across all adolescent stages, with tolerance showing the highest centrality overall. Furthermore, a distinct third central symptom emerged for each stage: salience in early, mood change in middle, and conflict in late adolescence. Global network strength increased from early to middle adolescence and again from middle to late adolescence, suggesting a deepening of addictive patterns with age. The significant age-specific differences in symptom connectivity were also identified. This study provides the first network analysis of PSVU across distinct adolescent developmental stages. The tolerance and withdrawal emerged as the common top two central symptoms across the distinct adolescent developmental stages, indicating that PSVU operates consistently within existing behavioral addiction frameworks, functioning as a specific and highly immersive manifestation of problematic Internet use. Meanwhile, unique age-specific characteristics throughout adolescence underscore the necessity of tailoring prevention and intervention strategies for the specific developmental phase of adolescents.</p>","PeriodicalId":10872,"journal":{"name":"Cyberpsychology, behavior and social networking","volume":" ","pages":"506-513"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148216784","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 primary objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of an integrated virtual reality (VR)-based mirror exposure therapy and eye-tracking-driven attentional bias (AB) modification training protocol-previously tested in a female-based randomized controlled trial-in two male adolescents with AN. Both participants received concurrent multidisciplinary care, with one case featuring comorbid muscle dysmorphia. Feasibility was assessed via protocol adherence and technical stability. Acceptability was measured using the System Usability Scale (SUS). Secondary exploratory measures included eye-tracking AB and clinical questionnaire outcomes (body dissatisfaction, drive for thinness, body anxiety, body appreciation) at pretreatment, posttreatment, and 3-month follow-up. Feasibility indicators were consistently positive: Both participants completed all sessions, reported high perceived usability (SUS > 80), and no technical incidents occurred. Exploratory clinical observations suggested improvements in body dissatisfaction, weight-related anxiety, and body appreciation, with effects maintained at the 3-month follow-up. Eye-tracking data revealed divergent attentional profiles: the patient with a typical AN presentation showed heightened attention to weight-related body areas, whereas the patient with muscle dysmorphia displayed a more complex pattern oriented toward muscular regions. Given the concurrent multidisciplinary treatment, clinical improvements cannot be attributed solely to the VR intervention; however, these cases show that the protocol is a viable and well-tolerated tool that warrants further investigation in a randomized controlled trial with AN male adolescents.</p>","PeriodicalId":10872,"journal":{"name":"Cyberpsychology, behavior and social networking","volume":" ","pages":"497-505"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148013942","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}

By creating distinct social contexts, we examined participants' brain responses to violations of hostility expectations in text-based communications, both with and without emojis. The results indicated that in the absence of emojis, violations of hostility expectations triggered a significant negative deflection in the N400 waveform, reflecting a heightened neural response to perceived hostility. In contrast, when emojis were present, this negative neural response was substantially reduced, suggesting that emojis play a key role in mitigating hostile attributions and fostering positive social interactions. These findings not only highlight the important function of emojis in online communication from a neuroscience perspective, demonstrating their ability to effectively reduce hostility attribution and potential conflicts in digital interactions, but also provide new empirical evidence for understanding the emotional regulation mechanisms of nonverbal cues in digital environments and improving the quality of online interactions.</p>","PeriodicalId":10872,"journal":{"name":"Cyberpsychology, behavior and social networking","volume":" ","pages":"490-496"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148204372","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}

A large-scale survey (N = 1,274) was used to test a moderated mediation model of addiction, with its core affective and cognitive variables first defined through focus groups with a strategically selected subsample (N = 169) of addicted and nonaddicted users. Results first revealed two distinct user profiles: an addicted group characterized by high emotional involvement and low control, marked by emotional ambivalence and cognitive inconsistency, and a nonaddicted group defined by low emotional involvement and high control. The moderated mediation analysis then uncovered the complex dynamics underlying these profiles. The role of self-regulation was found to be double-edged, profoundly moderated by inhibitory control. For individuals with low inhibitory control, greater use of self-regulatory strategies was associated with higher addiction severity, suggesting a conditional risk pattern consistent with a possible \"backfire effect.\" Conversely, for those with high inhibitory control, such strategies were largely redundant. Furthermore, the pathways to addiction diverged by addiction status. The process for addicted individuals was predominantly driven by the pursuit of positive emotions. In stark contrast, for nonaddicted individuals, the crucial battleground was self-regulation, which functioned as a critical defense, highlighting a vital window for early intervention. Together, these findings underscore the importance of inhibitory control, the double-edged nature of self-regulation, and the primacy of positive affective pathways, thereby refining the I-PACE model and offering targeted insights for prevention and intervention.","PeriodicalId":10872,"journal":{"name":"Cyberpsychology, behavior and social networking","volume":"212 1","pages":"21522715261464753"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2026-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148349358","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}

Hierarchical linear regressions indicated that psychopathy and male gender were longitudinal predictors of GAICB at Time 2, even after controlling for baseline behaviors at Time 1. While sadism was significant in the baseline model, its effect became nonsignificant after accounting for prior GAICB. Machiavellianism, narcissism, and age showed no significant effects.
