The current study investigated the effects of app persuasive design and children’s self-regulation, and their interaction, on children’s ability to disengage from digital devices. The study adopted a three-arm acute experimental design, wherein 73 children, aged 3–5 years, were randomly assigned to engage with one of three apps (of high, moderate, or low persuasive design), with a novel “digital disengagement” paradigm that measured the time to disengage from app play and researcher-rated degree of independent disengagement. Children’s self-regulation outside of digital contexts was also assessed. General linear models were used to compare the main effects of and interaction between app condition and child self-regulation on children’s digital disengagement. Given similar disengagement means in high and moderate conditions, these were collapsed and compared with the low condition. Significant interactions between persuasive design (moderate-high and low) and self-regulation (high and low) were found for disengagement time and degree of independent disengagement for one of the two self-regulation measures. Young children with higher self-regulation were able to disengage from the digital device regardless of persuasive design level (even at moderate-high levels). Children with lower self-regulation disengaged more easily and promptly under low persuasive design but took longer and needed more support to disengage when exposed to moderate-high persuasive design. This first-of-its-kind study offers novel insight into which children are more susceptible to extended digital engagement due to persuasive design. The study highlights the importance of considering the design elements within apps together with the child’s abilities to aid families make more informed digital choices.</p>","PeriodicalId":36408,"journal":{"name":"Human Behavior and Emerging Technologies","volume":"2025 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/hbe2/8187768","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144315159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper contributes to the field by presenting two real-life case studies assessing nonusers’ experiences and attitudes towards ADRs. The first study investigates the acceptance of pedestrians to co-exist with ADRs in public spaces thanks to a survey and field observations, while the second examines the cyclist–ADR interaction supported by GNSS (global navigation satellite system) measurements and reported perceptions of the experiment. Both analyses revealed positive attitudes towards the coexistence with ADRs while emphasizing at the same time challenges that could hamper their deployment as well as the delivery process. These included for the pedestrian–ADR interactions how the crowd affects the navigation capabilities of ADRs and for the cyclist–ADR interactions the speed of the ADR as well as the width of the cycle lane.

To address these challenges, artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) have been explored as potential solutions. The aim of this paper is to study existing AI-based moderation approaches to understand which models have been used, their effectiveness, and the challenges they face. This work conducts a targeted systematic literature review of research efforts that present a technical approach to the topic while sharing model results and highlighting the challenges encountered. The findings reveal that AI-driven moderation shows promise by achieving high accuracy but has some issues that need to be addressed, such as dataset imbalance, obstacles and inconsistencies, bias, and misinterpretation of message meanings.

Integrating the two popular technology adoption frameworks, the technology acceptance model (TAM) and the technology, organization, and environment (TOE) framework, this study employs a structural equation modeling technique on a carefully chosen sample of 204 technology-intensive small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Sweden to investigate the effect of various antecedents on the intention and actual utilization of SaaS-based cloud applications. The results are counterintuitive regarding the relationship between perceived ease of use and intention and the inverse relationship between risk and trust. The central construct of TAM has an insignificant relationship with the intention to adopt SaaS applications, leading to substantial practical implications for Swedish SMEs. Similarly, a significant effect of trust with an insignificant impact of risk on intention challenges conventional wisdom.

Yet, its impact on consumer decision-making remains unclear, highlighting a need for research into its influence on purchasing behavior. This study explores the effects of VTO technology on consumer decision-making in online shopping, with a particular focus on gender as a moderating factor. Using a final sample of 357 participants, the cross-sectional data was analyzed, employing the hedonic-motivation system adoption model through partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Empirical findings indicate that perceived ease of use significantly enhances perceived usefulness, curiosity, control, and joy. This implies that consumers can enjoy the benefits of VTO technology without requiring detailed instructions, fostering curiosity, and allowing easy control over the technology. However, perceived usefulness does not positively influence the use of VTO technology for online purchases, and curiosity does not lead to immersion or increased usage of VTO technology. Additionally, gender does not significantly influence VTO adoption among Bangladeshi consumers, likely due to the technology’s nascent stage and limited perceived benefits. This finding can guide companies and VTO technology designers in emphasizing key strategies to increase user engagement, providing innovative design concepts, and improving the overall user experience.</p>","PeriodicalId":36408,"journal":{"name":"Human Behavior and Emerging Technologies","volume":"2025 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/hbe2/7070627","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144273286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We performed a mediation analysis using the PROCESS macro to assess the relationships among these variables, controlling for gender and age. The results indicate that, while placing a high value on aesthetics is positively associated with body satisfaction, this effect is partially mediated by comparisons with fit influencers, which negatively impacts appearance satisfaction. Thus, the relationship is more complex than initially suggested, showing both positive and negative effects, depending on the role of social comparison. Notably, adolescent girls and older adolescents were more likely to engage in comparisons with fit influencers, shaping their ideal body image and fostering dissatisfaction.
