We used multigroup analysis (PLS-MGA-ANN), which examines key integrated design elements and domain-specific innovativeness drivers of employee learning engagement in ubiquitous learning context. According to a sample of learners’ responses, the linear PLS-SEM results demonstrated that (a) integrating design elements, including perceived compatibility, familiarity, value, and user interface design, had a direct impact on domain-specific innovativeness; (b) domain-specific innovativeness had a direct impact on employee learning engagement and played a mediating role in the relationship between integrating design elements and employee learning engagement; and (c) copresence moderated the relationships between domain-specific innovativeness and employee learning engagement. Furthermore, through the evaluation of nonlinear models of the neural network, perceived compatibility and value revealed nonlinear average importance.

Its recognition is of great significance in preventing individuals from suicide. In the context of large-scale screening on suicide ideation, self-report scale is the most used approach, but the subjects are easy to conceal real information. Though some automated methods based on social media platforms are put forward, they are difficult to cover all the populations that need to be tested. To this challenge, in this paper, a new perspective on suicidal ideation recognition via sentence completion test (SCT) is provided. SCT contains some sentence fragments and requires subjects to complete them, having implicitness and being suitable for large-scale screening, but its use depends on automated scoring method. Therefore, based on a self-developed SCT, a dataset is collected, containing 1,399 individuals’ responses on both the SCT and one classical self-report scale about suicidal ideation. To support the prediction with reasonable evidences for such a psychometric task, considering that individual suicidal ideation may be reflected by the different response patterns of each item or the general topic contained in all items, a coding- and topic-enhanced model for suicidal ideation recognition is proposed. The strategies of contrastive learning and focal loss are leveraged to establish different representations of different response patterns in the SCT and solve the class-imbalanced problem. To verify the effectiveness, extensive experiments are conducted, demonstrating that the proposed method achieves a feasible and practical performance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"162 ","pages":"Article 108476"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142529793","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}

Using a dataset of 17,985 innovators, 14,734 innovation contests, and 212,767 digital products from 2015 to 2022, we found that a self-organized contest increases the originality and popularity of digital products, whereas a meta-organized contest decreases these outcomes. An innovation contest is a valuable governance tool for digital innovation, but it backfires when there is a mismatch with a particular innovator. Specifically, the self-organized contest is more helpful for experts' and openers' digital product innovation, but not for novices' or conservatives’ innovation.

However, the direction, degree, and diversity of their association is unclear. To offer more robust and nuanced evidence to this issue of acute public concern, the current study presents a comprehensive meta-analysis of the associations between self-regulation and digital recreation from birth to adolescence – consolidating 183 studies reporting 232 associations from 234,476 children and adolescents. Across these studies, digital recreation clustered into investigations of screen time, features of problematic digital engagement, exposure to violent content, communicating with strangers online, sexting, and media multitasking. Although a pattern of negative bivariate associations was observed between self-regulation and aspects of digital recreation, the strength of association for screen time was weak (<em>r</em> = −.04 for computer use to <em>r</em> = −.15 for social media use). Once control variables were considered, relationships with exposure to violent digital content were rendered similarly trivial, suggesting other variables likely account for these correlations. This reduces our confidence in these associations. In contrast, lower self-regulation was more highly associated with problematic engagement (<em>r</em> = −.28 for problematic gaming to <em>r</em> = −.41 for problematic mobile phone use), communicating with strangers online (<em>r</em> = −.18), and sexting (<em>r</em> = −.20). This pattern of results points to a relationship that is variable by type of digital activity, which in our meta-analyses ranged from null to strong and negative. Where a relationship exists, it may be bi-directional given associations remained for longitudinal studies that positioned either self-regulation or digital recreation as predictor. Most moderators of these associations were non-significant, although the negative association of self-regulation with time spent gaming was increasingly strong with increasing participant age. This study instigates a disentangling of the nature of the relationship between self-regulation and digital choices and behaviours across the early stages of life.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"163 ","pages":"Article 108472"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142656360","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}

We used data from a survey of 1660 teachers from 106 upper secondary schools in Switzerland to construct structural equation models of the interplay between school-related factors, teacher-related factors, and technology integration. Apart from confirming that technology integration is generally high across all school types, the study shows that among school-related factors, goal clarity is a significant predictor of constructive learning activities and of all the three personal factors considered in the study: teachers’ positive beliefs, technological knowledge, and technological pedagogical content knowledge. Moreover, these personal factors, in turn, constitute significant predictors of all the four types of learning activities. Both full-time and dual vocational schools integrate constructive and interactive activities more than general schools, and vocational teachers report significantly higher beliefs and lower technological pedagogical content knowledge than general school teachers. These findings confirm the importance of considering the interplay between personal and school-related factors when training teachers in technology integration, with interesting differences across school types that seem to depend more on the contextual culture than on the curriculum organisation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"163 ","pages":"Article 108475"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142573261","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}
