However, their effectiveness may depend on how much patients perceive a virtual body as their own, a phenomenon known as the full-body illusion (FBI). This study examined FBI levels and their clinical correlates in adolescents with AN, a key developmental period in the disorder. Forty-nine female adolescents with AN were immersed in a VR environment and embodied in avatars reflecting their own body shape and weight through visuomotor and visuo-tactile stimulation. The FBI was assessed using both unidimensional measures and a multidimensional embodiment questionnaire. Correlation analyses and multiple linear regressions were conducted to explore associations between FBI components and AN-related variables, including body mass index, body dissatisfaction, body anxiety, state anxiety, and fear of gaining weight (FGW). Results showed significant negative correlations between body anxiety and FGW and FBI, particularly its unidimensional and ownership components, with FGW explaining 28.1 percent of FBI variance. Consistent with the Allocentric Lock hypothesis, these findings suggest that adolescents with AN may rely more strongly on stored, distorted body representations than on immediate multisensory evidence (sight, touch, and proprioception), creating a cognitive barrier to virtual ownership and potentially limiting VR-MET effectiveness during adolescence. Future research should incorporate more diverse samples-including different ages and genders-to further clarify the clinical role of embodiment processes in VR-based interventions.","PeriodicalId":10872,"journal":{"name":"Cyberpsychology, behavior and social networking","volume":"180 1","pages":"21522715261463323"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2026-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148304895","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}

As China's leading social media platform, Weibo plays a crucial role in addressing cyberbullying, yet existing research has insufficiently examined the platform's intervention frameworks and public attitudes toward such measures. This study combines nudge theory with governance logic to conduct two studies aimed at systematically analyzing Weibo's intervention measures and their effects. Study 1 showed that Weibo has established a comprehensive intervention framework that covers the entire cycle of user behavior, combining soft and hard measures across six categories and 17 specific strategies. Soft strategies include behavioral norms, reminders, guidance, and education, while hard strategies encompass management and accountability. Study 2, a survey of 455 participants, indicated that although the public generally viewed soft strategies less favorably than hard ones, positive attitudes toward three soft strategies were associated with positive behavior. Likewise, favorable attitudes toward the hard strategy of behavioral management predicted more positive behavior, while supportive attitudes toward behavioral accountability were linked to less harmful behavior. The results indicate a mismatch between public preferences and strategy effectiveness: while hard measures are more widely accepted, soft strategies remain indispensable in incentivizing positive intervention and fostering a positive community atmosphere. This study underscores the value of a complementary soft-hard governance approach to combat cyberbullying. The findings offer theoretical foundations and practical insights for shaping effective governance strategies on social media platforms.</p>","PeriodicalId":10872,"journal":{"name":"Cyberpsychology, behavior and social networking","volume":" ","pages":"381-390"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147662545","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}

Three profiles were identified. Adaptive searchers (29.2 percent) demonstrated balanced information seeking with low distress and compulsion. Concerned searchers (22.6 percent) showed moderate levels across dimensions, with early signs of problematic patterns, representing a transitional state between adaptive and dysfunctional behaviors. Dysfunctional searchers (48.2 percent) exhibited high levels across all dimensions, characterized by uncontrolled, compulsive searching patterns with significant emotional distress. Furthermore, higher trait mindfulness was associated with a greater likelihood of belonging to the adaptive searchers profile than to the problematic profiles.

Subthreshold post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is prevalent among frontline HCWs and may progress to full-blown PTSD without timely intervention. This study aimed to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and effectiveness of a newly developed virtual reality (VR)-based stabilization (VRS) program for frontline HCWs with above-subthreshold PTSD. A randomized controlled trial compared VRS with a mobile application-based stabilization (MAS) program, both using identical stabilization techniques. The trial was conducted at a COVID-19-designated hospital in South Korea. Thirty-six HCWs with above-subthreshold PTSD completed a 5-week stabilization program, with 18 participants in the VRS group and 18 in the MAS group. Primary outcomes were post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), assessed via self-report (PTSD Checklist-5) and clinician rating (Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5). Secondary outcomes included depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory-II, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17), anxiety (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-Y), and quality of life (the World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale-Abbreviated Version). Concentration, immersion, task load, and cybersickness were also measured. Both interventions demonstrated satisfactory safety and feasibility. Immersion was significantly higher with VRS. Significant pre-post improvements in PTSS, self-reported depression, and anxiety were observed in both groups. However, the VRS group showed greater improvements in quality of life. These results suggest the potential of immersive VR-based stabilization interventions as a useful tool for protecting the mental health of vulnerable populations, including HCWs, in public health emergencies during and beyond pandemics, when the traditional face-to-face delivery of intervention is limited.</p>","PeriodicalId":10872,"journal":{"name":"Cyberpsychology, behavior and social networking","volume":" ","pages":"416-424"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147811918","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}

We meta-analyzed 143 effects from 74 studies (<i>N</i> = 68,705) using random-effects models and relative weight analyses to examine global, dual-dimensional, and trifurcated narcissism across PIU domains. Global narcissism was positively associated with PIU (<i>r</i> = 0.26, 95 percent confidence interval (CI) [0.22, 0.30]) and remained significant after trim-and-fill, selection model, and outlier analyses. Subgroup analyses showed a positive association for social media addiction (<i>r</i> = 0.26, 95 percent CI [0.21, 0.30]), whereas the Internet addiction subgroup showed a smaller but still significant association (<i>r</i> = 0.16, 95 percent CI [0.07, 0.26]). Given the substantial heterogeneity across pooled outcomes, these findings should be interpreted as indicating an overall positive pattern rather than uniform consistency across studies. Dimensional analyses indicated that estimated associations varied according to the dimensional composition of narcissism measures. In dual-dimensional models, grandiose and vulnerable narcissism showed similar estimated associations with general PIU (<i>r</i> = 0.20-0.24) and problematic social media use (<i>r</i> = 0.21-0.22). For Internet addiction, however, the estimated association increased from <i>r</i> = 0.09-0.47 as vulnerable narcissism increased and decreased from <i>r</i> = 0.47-0.09 as grandiose narcissism increased, suggesting a stronger estimated role for vulnerability in this comparatively small subgroup. In trifurcated models, interpersonal antagonism showed the strongest positive estimated association across PIU domains, whereas narcissistic neuroticism showed inverse estimated associations in several analyses, and agentic extraversion showed minimal or nonsignificant effects. Conventional study-level moderators were not statistically significant, but relative-weight-based dimensional composition analyses suggested that estimated associations varied as a function of dimensional composition. Overall, these findings suggest that antagonistic and vulnerable aspects of narcissism may be especially relevant to PIU while also highlighting the importance of moving beyond global narcissism scores and interpreting dimensional estimates cautiously.</p>","PeriodicalId":10872,"journal":{"name":"Cyberpsychology, behavior and social networking","volume":" ","pages":"357-371"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147948100","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 this study, we aimed to develop and validate a self-report measure to assess online ethical values and behaviors and to examine their interrelations. A sample of 529 Spanish youth (61.4 percent women, aged 13-23 years) completed a self-report measure. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported a five-factor structure (57.1 percent variance explained): Online Respect, Online Responsibility, Tolerance for Diversity, Prosocial Cyberbystander, and Online Self-Development. We also aimed to analyze the relationships between these online values and the associated variables. We found significant correlations with higher empathy, lower cyberhate perpetration, and increased online ethical behaviors, including prosocial bystander interventions in cases of cyberhate. Women, non-heterosexual youth, and older participants (18-23 years) reported higher ethical values, with no significant group differences in self-reported online ethical behaviors. These findings provide a deeper understanding of the relationship between online ethical values in youth and their actual practices, highlighting the importance of incorporating socio-emotional and sociodemographic factors into prevention strategies aimed at preventing unethical online behaviors.
