However, studies about the impact of player’s motivation on problematic playing are sparse and lack systematic approaches. Our current study is aimed at investigating the relationship between gaming motivations and POG. This paper presents the results of a large-scale survey conducted in China with 1557 participants, of whom 1358 (87.2%) were male. A multiple regression analysis with 10 game motivations as predictors has been performed to explore which factors have effects on game addiction. It is shown that the best predictors of game addiction are the escapism motivation, followed by the competition motivation and then the advancement motivation. The mediation effect of demographic variables on the relationships between player’s motivations and game addiction is further examined using the casual steps, and a significant mediating effect of age on game addiction is revealed. The POG differences across gender and age were also examined. The findings enable a better understanding of the underlying mechanics of POG and to minimize the risks and maximise the positive impact of games on society.</p>","PeriodicalId":36408,"journal":{"name":"Human Behavior and Emerging Technologies","volume":"2025 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/hbe2/9159986","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144695769","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}

A key aspect of this effort is enhancing cobots’ adaptability, that is, their ability to adjust behavior in real time based on workers’ needs and characteristics, particularly their psychological states. Despite increasing research, a synthesis of the most considered psychological states and the corresponding adaptation mechanisms is still lacking. This review examines recent experimental evidence on cobots which modify their behavior in response to workers’ psychological states and evaluates how these adaptations influence human–robot collaboration outcomes. Following preregistration on PROSPERO, this study adhered to PRISMA-P guidelines to select 23 studies focusing on cobots’ adaptation mechanisms and their impact on task performance and worker well-being. The findings reveal that most adaptations target cognitive states, particularly workload, attention, and situational awareness, reflecting a strong research emphasis on optimizing decision-making and efficiency. Emotional adaptation has been explored to a lesser extent, while real-time adjustments based on motion intention are gaining traction in movement coordination tasks. Cobots primarily rely on physiological and behavioral signals—such as heart rate variability, electrodermal activity, and gaze fixation—to infer workers’ psychological states. Various adaptation strategies, including task reallocation and speed modulation, demonstrate measurable improvements in collaboration fluency, cognitive load management, and operational performance. This review highlights the critical role of psychology in robotics research, promoting multidisciplinary collaboration to develop adaptive cobots that enhance both productivity and worker well-being.</p>","PeriodicalId":36408,"journal":{"name":"Human Behavior and Emerging Technologies","volume":"2025 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/hbe2/6361777","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144681042","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}

Study 1 determined key correlating factors including security–self-efficacy, experience and involvement, awareness and organisational policy, with large effect sizes. A refined tool was deployed in Study 2 amongst a larger sample of employees within a multinational organisation. Exploratory factor analysis determined two latent factors—<i>cybersecurity awareness</i> and <i>psychological ownership</i>. However, 55% of variance within a regression model was explained by cybersecurity awareness alone. Study 3 included an even larger sample employed by multiple organisations—with cybersecurity awareness accounting for 60% of variance. We propose the employee cybersecurity awareness framework (ECAF) with cybersecurity awareness at its core and containing six underlying factors: threat appraisal, information security self-efficacy, information security awareness, information security attitude, information security operation policy and cybersecurity experience and involvement.

Moreover, it expounds the research foundations and emerging patterns associated with GenAI in marketing and formulates prospective research propositions. This study utilizes bibliometric analysis and a literature review to evaluate the scholarly contributions of publications, authors with the highest productivity, publications with significant impact, institutions, and nations. Three hundred and seventy-one Scopus and Web of Science database documents were retrieved and consolidated by eliminating duplicates. The analysis employed various techniques, including coword analysis, thematic representation, cocitations, coupling by clustering, and international collaborations. The research uses the Bibliometrix R package to merge the dataset and conduct the bibliometric analysis. The last 2 years, 2023 and 2024, stand out as the most productive years with a notable quantity of publications, reaching 107 in 2023 and 71 in 2024. The most influential papers revolve around advertising content, sentiment analysis, and text mining. The institution with the most influence in this field is the University of Colorado Boulder, and the country is the United States. Bibliographic coupling analysis proposed the presence of four thematic clusters: opinion and text mining, big data analytics, artificial intelligence in marketing, and user-generated content. The investigation is an enlightening resource for scholars researching GenAI within the marketing domain. It will benefit researchers to familiarize themselves with previous studies and current research in this field. It also offers valuable information on this area’s most promising articles, journals, and authors. Furthermore, it provides valuable insights into potential avenues for future investigations in this domain. Consequently, the findings of this study will be advantageous for aspiring scholars in this field to establish the direction of their research endeavors.
