In response to this negative perspective, and in line with calls for a shift towards a more sex-positive approach, this paper provides a scoping review of what is known about the benefits of sexting. Based on a thematic analysis of the content of 70 scientific papers on the benefits of sexting, three main themes were identified: 1) individual benefits resulting from the sexting act itself (i.e., sexual exploration and experimentation, sexual pleasure and non-sexual pleasure), 2) individual benefits resulting from the reaction of the sexting partner (i.e., body image and self-image, sexual agency and validation), and, 3) relational benefits of sexting (i.e., sexual and emotional connectedness, sexting as a way to build bridges). The benefits of sexting are linked to theoretical frameworks related to both the online and offline (sexual) worlds. This paper illustrates how sexting is an online extension of offline sexuality that includes both positive and negative aspects. It is important that also the benefits of sexting receive more attention in research and society, as this will contribute to healthier, more nuanced and more accurate discourses on sexting.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"164 ","pages":"Article 108499"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142745953","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}

A key strategy for success is to enhance user favorability and adoption. However, whether users prefer a human or an AI in the role of educator remains an important yet underexplored question. This research conducted three behavioral studies to examine user behavior toward AI-powered educational tools versus human educators, focusing on users' intentions to use these tools and their word-of-mouth (WOM) recommendations. Our findings show that users are more inclined to prefer human educators for their children and are more likely to share this preference with others (Studies 1 and 2). The underlying reason is that users perceive human educators as more capable than AI tools (Study 2). Study 3 further reveals that the type of problem-solving moderates the effect of the educational approach on both intentions to use and WOM. Specifically, users believe that AI tools are better suited for conventional problem-solving, while human educators are preferred for creative problem-solving. Our research is the first to investigate users' adoption of AI educational tools compared to human educators and the underlying mechanism. AI educational tool providers are advised to address users' negative perceptions and alleviate their concerns by demonstrating the competence of AI tools or by actively engaging with users to foster their competence in AI's capabilities. These novel insights contribute to the rapidly growing field of AI research and offer valuable implications for AI educational tools seeking success in the marketplace.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"164 ","pages":"Article 108492"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142745950","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}

Unfortunately, mutation testing generates a large number of faulty versions known as mutants to analyze the quality of test oracles which is computationally expensive. In this paper, we proposed minimal path selection strategy to select fewer and non-trivial mutants to analyze diverse test oracles realizing ubiquitous learning environments. The proposed selection strategy explores the relationship between faulty conditions and output statements to identify feasible paths. To establish a ubiquitous learning setup, diverse test oracles are selected by incorporating user input, automated scripts and developer insights. This approach aims to enhance learner engagement and effectively design test oracles. The empirical evaluation and state-of-the-art comparison of various Java-built software programs demonstrated the potential of ubiquitous learning in software quality assurance by reducing 75% of the generated mutants.

The application addiction with the highest centrality was for short videos, followed by games and then social media applications. In addition, a range of social experiences associated with violence (e.g., neglect and bullying) were found to be key determinants of smartphone addiction, in that these experiences hinder adolescents' socialization by increasing their alexithymia and social sensitivity, leading them to become glued to their smartphones.
