As a consequence, new spatial arrangements are constituted that have been conceptualised as hybrid spaces. They evolve in connection with mobile devices and ubiquitous Internet access and are characterized by an imbrication of the physical environment and digital technology. Although hybrid spaces permeate our everyday life, there is little empirical research on experiences in hybrid spaces. This paper presents a scoping literature review on experiences in hybrid spaces. Based on a synthesising reading of research evidence from 28 empirical studies, three overarching thematic strands were identified: place, mobility, and social interaction. However, the empirical research field appears nascent still and lacks convergent and consolidating approaches, particularly across disciplines. Nevertheless, while digital technologies have so far been associated with processes of domestication and a diminishing importance of places, mobile devices and especially AR applications can draw people outside and foster spatial meaning-making. Hybrid practices change spatial uses and produce new patterns of urban functions at multiple levels. Moreover, hybridisation challenges fundamental notions of ‘place’, as digital augmentation allows for the coexistence of an infinite number of modifications of a place and can encompass past, present and future representations. While what we gain and lose through this development remains an open question, we provide concrete guidance for future research on what and whom to investigate, as well as how to do so.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"164 ","pages":"Article 108502"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142745958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis identified five distinct intergenerational support profiles: Well Supported, Lack of Instrumental Support, Slight Lack of Emotional Support, Severe Lack of Emotional Support, and Doubly Disadvantaged. The findings indicate that lacking instrumental and emotional support to varying degrees was associated with lower frequency, constant use, and purposeful use of digital media. Additionally, the socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of both older adults and their adult children were also closely associated with the nature and effectiveness of intergenerational support.

This study takes a learning analytics perspective to explore the relationship between university rankings and the theoretical frameworks used in doctoral capstones within the education field, an area largely underexamined in prior research. Using the 2023 Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) for education, a dataset of 9770 doctoral capstone abstracts, and a curated list of 59 learning theories, we investigated theory prevalence relative to university ranking. Employing machine learning to calculate cosine similarity between capstones and learning theories, followed by multivariate ANOVA, we identified statistically significant differences in theory usage across ranking groups. These findings suggest that theoretical choices in capstones may contribute to the external evaluations underpinning university rankings, offering insights for aligning doctoral programs with ranking criteria. However, this study's limitations, mainly its correlational nature and the U.S.-exclusive dataset, suggest the need for further research on interdisciplinarity and theory clustering across global institutions. The study makes headway in the empirical investigation into how theoretical frameworks of doctoral research may be related to university rankings, and its findings pertain to the management of educational and psychological research at doctoral level by means of learning analytics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"164 ","pages":"Article 108504"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142745952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is particularly true for psychotherapy, where users' self-disclosure is crucial for human-chatbot relationship building and chatbot service provision. Although attention has been given to the role of various anthropomorphic cues in social chatbots, the effects of avatar presentation style and avatar gaze direction on users' self-disclosure have not been well studied. We conducted two experiments to examine how avatar presentation style (profile style vs. background style) can influence users' self-disclosure, and whether the avatar's gaze direction (direct vs. averted) can moderate this relationship. The results reveal that the background-style (vs. profile-style) presentation inhibits users' self-disclosure by decreasing private self-awareness. This relationship is reversed when the avatar is equipped with an averted gaze. Our results suggest that avatar presentation and nonverbal cues should be carefully considered in chatbot interface design to facilitate users' self-disclosure.

Research on the wisdom-of-the-crowd phenomenon suggests that the average of individuals' ratings should reflect true underlying quality. Online platforms that collect ratings, however, often do so while displaying the crowd's average rating, creating the potential for social influence. This is problematic because the wisdom-of-the-crowd effect relies on the aggregation of independent evaluative judgments. How can platforms limit social influence bias and enhance crowd wisdom? We argue that the structure of the rating scales used to record individual evaluations can alter the degree of social influence bias in online rating platforms. Through an analysis of rating websites with over 4.4 million ratings from over 60,000 evaluators and an online experiment (200 participants), we show that by varying the rating scales that record individual evaluations, platforms can decrease the presence of social influence, better maintaining the independent judgments that are necessary for unbiased crowd wisdom. Understanding how to limit social influence bias in online ratings stands to improve quality judgments across large swaths of economic and social life.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"164 ","pages":"Article 108497"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142745951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
