Data were gathered from 326,397 adolescents aged 11, 13, and 15 from 28 countries involved in the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study. Results showed that there was a modest decline in the prevalence of non-active users (by 2.8 pp (percentage points)), active users (by 0.8 pp), and intense social media users (by 1.6 pp), accompanied by a 2.8 pp increase in the prevalence of problematic social media users. Overall, these temporal changes were confirmed across the participating countries. Girls, younger adolescents, those with low socio-economic status (SES), and with medium-low family and peer support experienced stronger temporal increases in reported problematic SMU. Younger adolescents also showed a stronger temporal decrease of non-active SMU. A significant moderation effect of available national-level indicators (i.e., GINI, GII, Stringency Index, ICT access) was identified with respect to temporal changes in problematic SMU. These changes should be interpreted within the context of today's increasingly technologized world.

While this level of personalization can significantly benefit the user, recommended ads and content sometimes resemble aspects of the user's private lives that they may not have wanted the algorithm or platform to know. Moreover, though users dislike these experiences of privacy violations, they still disclose private information to the system due to fatigue in managing online privacy altogether. This current study integrates communication privacy management (CPM) theory (Petronio, 2002) into the human-algorithm interaction context to examine the extent to which social media users (<em>N</em> = 1,305) engage in open privacy management practices with social media platforms via their algorithms, depending on their felt privacy fatigue. Results from using latent moderated structural equations (LMS) suggest that individuals' awareness of algorithms is negatively associated with using open privacy management practices with social media algorithms. However, this depends on their felt privacy fatigue, such that individuals who are both highly aware and highly fatigued are likely to be more closed off in sharing private information with social media algorithms, thus granting less co-ownership rights to social media platforms. In light of these findings, implications for future research on communication privacy management in the context of social media algorithms are discussed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"173 ","pages":"Article 108786"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145019655","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}

Sexting in response to coercion, an extrinsic motivation, was associated with higher levels of mental health symptoms and substance use. Higher levels of sexual identity commitment mitigated the positive relationship between coerced sexting and mental health and drug use.

The present study, conducted in Israel, used latent profile analysis to identify patterns of sexting behavior in adolescents and to examine differences in background factors in these profiles. Participants were 345 adolescents and young adults (all responses referred specifically to high school experiences) who completed an online survey of sexting behaviors, attitudes, and family communication. Three profiles emerged: non-sexters (83.8 %), sexters (12.2 %), and coerced sexters (4.1 %). Non-sexters reported minimal sexting activity and more open communication with parents, sexters willingly engaged in sexting and embraced permissive sexting norms, and coerced sexters experienced sexting under pressure Girls were overrepresented in the sexter group (78.6 % female) whereas the small coerced sexter group showed no significant gender difference. The profiles did not differ in self-reported religiosity but adolescents in the coerced sexter profile disclosed significantly less information to their parents than those in the two other groups. These findings indicate that although sexting by youths is common and often consensual, a subset experienced it as a form of digital sexual coercion.

Notably, non-expert VIs’ effectiveness is most pronounced under high anthropomorphism, reflecting a significant anthropomorphism × source-type interaction. Additionally, hope appeal can be more effective than fear appeal in our context. Both cognitive trust and emotional appeal play mediating roles in the persuasion process. However, cognitive trust mediates the relation between anthropomorphic images, source types, and persuasion efficiency. Strategic messages influenced the persuasive outcomes via emotional appeal.
