Excessive social media and prolonged screen use are risk factors for internalizing and externalizing behaviors. However, limited understanding remains of pre-existing factors that predispose adolescents to adverse outcomes, and how quantitative (e.g., time spent) and qualitative (e.g., screen use behaviors) aspects relate to mental health, including anxiety and emotional/behavioral difficulties. Understanding these links is critical for evidence-based recommendations in healthcare and education. A community-based sample of 580 adolescents aged 12–17 years participated in an online survey from December 2022–August 2023. Demographic data, pre-existing vulnerabilities, screen use, emotional and behavioral difficulties and anxiety were collected using self-report questionnaires. The time spent on screens during weekdays and weekends, as well as screen-use behaviors such as frequency of use, total time, passive scrolling, and content posting on social media were analyzed. Notably, about 45 % of adolescents without pre-existing vulnerabilities reported anxiety in the clinical range. The odds ratio analysis showed that exceeding 2 h of screen time on weekdays doubled the odds of clinically-elevated anxiety and quadrupled the odds of experiencing emotional and behavioral difficulties. Although different aspects of screen use behaviors showed linear associations with mental health outcomes, passive scrolling had the strongest negative influence, even after controlling for age, gender, and pre-existing vulnerabilities, compared to active screen use or more general indicators (frequent and prolonged screen time). Managing screen time and activities based on individual mental health profiles, particularly regarding anxiety levels, may help support adolescent well-being.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"170 ","pages":"Article 108688"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143922061","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}

Most prior studies have conflated monitoring and direct interaction tasks, leading to inconsistent findings largely driven by variations in interaction complexity and duration. This research study addresses this issue by isolating the monitoring task from the interaction task to establish a more precise baseline of supervisory capacity for AV systems.</div><div>A rigorous experiment was conducted wherein 24 participants monitored between three and nine simulated AVs operating within a realistic sub-urban environment modelled on Coventry, a mid-sized city in the UK. Unlike experiments in previous studies, participants were tasked exclusively with monitoring AVs to identify those requiring potential manual intervention, subsequently delegating interaction to a separate remote operator. Performance metrics, perceived workload, situation awareness, and decision-making efficacy were systematically measured and analysed.</div><div>The results reveal situation awareness (SA) was maximised at when supervising five Avs, and optimal monitoring occurred when supervising 5–7 AVs, with the capacity to temporarily manage surges of up to 9 AVs without significant performance degradation. However, supervisors assigned to monitor as few as 3 AVs exhibited tendencies toward micro-management, often misidentifying situations requiring manual intervention and unnecessarily escalating control handovers. These findings have significant implications for developing scalable AV supervision systems, where appropriately calibrated monitoring loads can enhance performance and decision-making while minimising erroneous interventions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"170 ","pages":"Article 108690"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143916395","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}

We seek to investigate whether the framing of autonomous systems, meaning how the key characteristics of such systems are communicated to the user, can affect the user's sense of responsibility and in turn their sustainable product choices. Across three studies, we show that when autonomous systems are presented with an \"autonomy frame”, emphasizing their ability to handle tasks on the user's behalf, users feel a diminished sense of responsibility for the system's environmental impact. Crucially, we see that such a reduction in responsibility leads to a preference for less sustainable versions of the system (Studies 1 & 2). Instead, when employing an \"energy efficiency frame”, highlighting the system's ability to optimally manage energy consumption, users still feel a reduced sense of responsibility and yet they make more sustainable product choices, due to the activation of a prosocial focus (Study 3). This mechanism behind the energy efficiency frame's success offers a solution to counteract the negative effects observed when autonomous systems are given an autonomy frame.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"170 ","pages":"Article 108685"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143934906","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}

Thematic analysis of the interview data revealed that digital technology use impacted the way in which time was used, monitored and evaluated.

As a result, the experience of loss of time to digital technology was associated with feelings of guilt, shame and a lack of self-control.

Results demonstrated that for sensitive questions, there was higher socially desirable responding in the virtual human group as shown by significantly lower loneliness scores and higher rates of declining to answer a question compared to the other groups. For non-sensitive questions, socially desirable responding and proportion of declined answers did not differ by group. Participants in the virtual human group used more words when reporting stressful events and positive emotional experiences. Thematic analysis showed people felt rapport with both the virtual human and chatbot, but some felt social evaluative pressure with the virtual human. This supports theories that as human likeness cues increase, humans treat robots more socially.
