Players reported perceiving more similarity with friends when they developed friendships offline rather than online. Perceived similarity was strongly related to friendship quality across all modes; context intimacy was identified as the most significant dimension of perceived similarity. Personality traits were observed to vary across modes. Offline and mixed-mode players attained higher agreeableness scores than did online-only players. Players who exhibited higher levels of extraversion reported better friendship quality in the online mode, particularly with respect to affect/help and intimacy. Players who exhibited higher levels of agreeableness reported better friendship quality in the offline and mixed modes, whereas higher conscientiousness was associated with greater affect/help in the online mode. In the context of well-being, the dimensions of affect/help and intimacy in online friendships were related to subjective well-being and psychological functioning. These findings highlight the importance of multimodal communication and personality-driven matchmaking systems in gaming communities with respect to meaningful and supportive relationships.

Building on cognitive dissonance theory and expectation disconfirmation theory, this study explores how trust in a digital system (software agent) evolves and changes depending on a) inconsistent information about the system developer and b) the system making errors. This study includes a digital experiment, where 120 participants handled emergency calls in two simulation phases in a control center simulation where a digital system (belief-desire-intention agent) provided support and staffed vehicles with people. We used a 2 × 2 × 2 (IV1: consistent information Yes vs. No; IV2: errors T1 Yes vs. No; IV3: errors T2 Yes vs. No) design with repeated measures on trust at four measurement timepoints. The results show that inconsistent information affects the initial trust before the experience rather than the trust after the simulation phases. Errors consistently showed strong, negative effects on the development of trust across both simulation phases. This study has implications for the adoption of trust development in digital systems over time. Even if digital systems are trusted, this trust does not have to be stable and can change dynamically.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"172 ","pages":"Article 108736"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144365494","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}

Despite extensive research on fraud, no specific risk profiles have been established, and the influence of age and fraud type on vulnerability remains unclear. The objective of this systematic review is to explore the sociodemographic, non-cognitive, and cognitive factors associated with fraud victimization, with a specific focus on how these factors vary depending on the type of fraud and age group. We followed the PRISMA guidelines and conducted a comprehensive search across three scientific databases: PubMed, PsycINFO, and Scopus. The findings indicate a fragmented landscape, suggesting that fraud victims cannot be treated as a homogeneous group. Fraud victimization appears to result from the interplay of multiple dimensions, including the type of scam, individual characteristics, and contextual conditions. Most fraud cases were shown to occur online. Additionally, people of all ages were found to be vulnerable to fraud, with different types of fraud showing different prevalence across age groups. The most consistently supported risk factors across studies include low conscientiousness, high impulsivity, reduced cognitive functioning, and social isolation. Despite the predominant focus on older adults, this review underscores the need for standardized research methodologies and a more inclusive focus across age groups to better understand fraud vulnerability. Moreover, our findings support that as digital technologies increasingly mediate everyday interactions across age groups and transactions, it becomes essential to challenge persistent myths and develop adaptive, evidence-based strategies that can also keep pace with the evolving nature of fraud in online environments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"172 ","pages":"Article 108734"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144330535","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}

Through in-depth interviews with 45 participants across Generations X, Millennials (Y), and Z, this research identifies key design elements that enhance avatar design. Findings indicate that the spatial dimension of avatars, including variations in shape, significantly contributes to form realism. Additionally, behavioral elements such as communication modalities, competence, empathy, and dynamic interactions enhance behavioral realism. Also, we find significant differences in the cognitive, affective, and behavioral responses to avatar interaction across generations. These interactive responses are also influenced by contingency factors such as inter-avatar dynamics, media channel preferences (mobile versus fixed devices), and privacy risk. We propose a framework for aligning avatars’ design typology to enhance consumer interaction, offering valuable insights for marketers and designers aiming to optimize avatar-driven experiences across age groups.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"172 ","pages":"Article 108732"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144297887","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}

In a between-subjects experiment with 286 participants, individuals were exposed to an online sexual harassment scenario as a victim-survivor and instructed to report the incident. They were assigned to one of three reporting conditions: a non-anthropomorphic design condition (a machine-like system with an interface which has no human-like attributes), a low anthropomorphic design condition (a basic chatbot system, with an interface which has a low level of human attributes), and a high anthropomorphic design condition (a chatbot system with a high level of human attributes). Results indicated that both high and low anthropomorphic designs increased perceived anthropomorphism which significantly improved user satisfaction compared to non-anthropomorphic designs by reducing negative emotions and increasing trust, and that high anthropomorphic designs led to the highest levels of overall user satisfaction. This study contributes to the literature by advancing the understanding of anthropomorphic design's impact on user interaction in the specific context of reporting systems for online sexual harassment. Additionally, it provides practical design recommendations for social media platforms to implement more empathetic and supportive reporting systems, ultimately enhancing user satisfaction.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"172 ","pages":"Article 108733"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144289161","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}
