As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more prevalent, human-computer interactions have emerged as a new mode of social interaction.

A total of 128 university students participated in the experimental study employing both the Ultimatum Game and the Trust Game paradigms. The results showed that participants who received fair offers had higher trust investment rates and amounts than those who received unfair offers. When offers were unfair, the AI proposer group elicited greater investment willingness, leading to higher trust investment rates than the human proposer group. Conversely, under fair conditions, participants displayed greater risk aversion towards human trustees, investing at lower rates and amounts than with AI trustees. The findings suggest that fairness perceptions in human-computer interactions have a stronger impact on trust decisions than those in human-human interactions.</p>","PeriodicalId":48146,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychology","volume":"60 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12445249/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145081932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results revealed that ICs had a positive effect on ToM, but ToM could not predict IC status. No causal relationship existed between child–IC relationship quality and ToM in children with ICs at both Time 1 and 3.

Adolescents' chronotype has been linked to school performance, but its connection to the development of their educational identity has been overlooked. A stable educational identity involves the interplay of three processes: commitment (i.e., identification with educational choices), in-depth exploration (i.e., exploring and reflecting on commitments) and reconsideration of commitment (i.e., questioning current commitments and seeking alternatives). This longitudinal study investigates whether adolescents' chronotypes can be associated with trajectories of educational identity processes and how the latter may mediate the link between adolescents' chronotypes and school performance. The study followed 1156 adolescents (<i>M</i><sub>age</sub> = 15.69, SD<sub>age</sub> = 1.20; 51.65% females) over four assessments spanning 1 year. Multigroup analyses showed that adolescents with an evening chronotype reported lower initial levels of educational commitment and in-depth exploration, coupled with higher reconsideration of commitment than adolescents with a morning chronotype.

Using the socio-ecological perspective, we reveal a largely overlooked yet crucial socio-ecological factor that influences individuals' fertility intentions. Specifically, we propose that relational mobility serves as a precursor to fertility intention. Four studies using different operationalisations of relational mobility provided convergent support for this idea. Study 1 and Study 2 indicated that relational mobility positively predicted fertility intention by separately using national representative data and a survey approach. Study 3 replicated these results in an experimental setting and demonstrated the causal effect of relational mobility on fertility intention. Study 4 further revealed that this effect was driven by perceived social resource availability. Our findings add to the literature on fertility intention and relational mobility. Moreover, policymakers can consider boosting individuals' fertility intentions by improving the relational mobility of the environment in which they reside or by activating individuals' perceptions of high relational mobility in their immediate societies.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48146,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychology","volume":"60 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145012121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
