In the groups without problematic gaming and without problematic Internet use, excessive gaming and involvement with the Internet were negatively associated with secure social group attachment and positively associated with anxious social group attachment; on the other hand, in the groups with severe levels of these problems, problematic gaming and Internet use were positively associated with secure social group attachment and negatively associated with anxious social group attachment.

This study investigates the compensating and enhancing effects of online dating on rejection-sensitive people. Findings from an online survey of 459 users of mainstream online dating applications in China reveal a positive relationship between rejection sensitivity and the use of online dating applications. The increased use of online dating applications is positively associated with cyberbullying victimization, further contributing to loneliness. These findings support both the social compensation and enhancement hypothesis in the context of online dating, especially for individuals with deficit social competence and psychological vulnerability. This study extends existing research by uncovering a paradoxical mechanism that explains how online dating affects vulnerable individuals' well-being. Online dating product design should consider protecting specific groups of users from being cyberbullied.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"149 ","pages":"Article 107929"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41832634","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}

The current research addresses these knowledge gaps by examining whether ARSGs outperform AR on touchscreen devices in the context of in-store retail experiences. Testing with an actual retail application (n = 308) shows that ARSGs are superior to AR on touchscreen devices for evoking consumers’ perceptions of immersion and mental intangibility. Furthermore, this superiority leads consumers to evaluate their shopping experiences more positively in terms of their decision comfort, satisfaction, and ease of evaluation, with significantly positive effects on their purchase intentions. These results highlight the relevance of implementing ARSGs in-store and provide retailers with recommendations for effective ARSG strategies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"146 ","pages":"Article 107816"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50171928","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}

Because performing a KMI task stimulates synaptic plasticity, KMI-based BCIs hold promise for many applications requiring long-term KMI practice (e.g., sports training or post-stroke rehabilitation). However, there is a lack of studies on the long-term KMI-based BCI interactions, especially regarding the relationship between intrapersonal factors and motor pattern variations. This pilot study aims to understand better (i) how brain motor patterns change over time for a given individual, (ii) whether intrapersonal factors might influence BCI practice, and (iii) how the brain motor patterns underlying the KMI task (i.e., ERDs and ERSs) are modulated over time by the BCI user’s experience. To this end, we recruited an expert in this mental task who performed over 2080 KMIs in 26 different sessions over a period of five months. The originality of this study lies in the detailed examination of cross-referenced data from EEG signals, BCI data performance, and 13 different surveys. The results show that this repetitive and prolonged practice did not diminish his well-being and, in particular, generated a sense of automatization of the task. We observed a progressive attenuation of the ERD amplitude and a concentration in the motor areas as the sessions accumulated. All these elements point to a phenomenon of neural efficiency. If confirmed by other studies, this phenomenon could call into question the quality of the BCI in providing continuous stimulation to the user. In addition, the results of this pilot study provide insights into what might influence the response of the motor cortex (e.g. emotions, task control, diet, etc.) and promising opportunities for improving the instructional design of BCIs intended for long-term use.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"146 ","pages":"Article 107789"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50171953","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}
