Additionally, this study aims to examine other PU, mental health, and sociodemographic characteristics of the identified profiles of pornography users through ANOVAs and multinomial logistic regression analysis. Participants included 1316 US adults, collected from a 2023 YouGov survey matched to US norms, who reported viewing pornography at least once in their life. Three distinct profiles of pornography users were identified: 1) Early Engager, 2) Casual Engager, and 3) Late Engager. Early Engagers were characterized by early initial pornography use, high frequency and duration of pornography use, and higher endorsement of symptoms on mental health measures. Casual Engagers were characterized by a moderate age of pornography use, low frequency and duration of PU, as well as high religiosity. Late Engagers were characterized by a late initiation of PU, but high frequency and duration of PU. Earlier use of pornography is related to increased frequency and duration of PU, potential problematic PU, and other mental health concerns. Clinicians should be asking clients about their history of PU, including their first use of pornography and the ways their PU have changed overtime.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"178 ","pages":"Article 108905"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145981342","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}

Experiments 1A–1C demonstrated that brief encounters with a single robot, without collaboration or physical presence, elicited partner-advantage effects, though less pronounced than for best friends. This effect was maintained in Experiments 2A–2B when the robot provided functional assistance, irrespective of its physical presence. Uniquely, Experiments 3A–3B revealed that the robot expressing needs without companionship was perceived as socially distant, like a stranger, but when expressing minor needs with reciprocal companionship, it achieved perceptual prioritization comparable to best friends.

This trend holds the potential to cultivate polarisation of perspectives, as individuals actively seek information that resonates with their existing attitudes. Hence, diversifying information that is available online can encourage users to engage with multiple perspectives, especially when provided by a trustworthy source. This paper presents findings from two studies which compared individuals with a higher belief in generic conspiracy theories (Study 1; <em>n</em> = 84) and specific conspiracy beliefs on climate change (Study 2; <em>n</em> = 23) to those with lower conspiracy beliefs (<em>n</em><sub><em>study 1</em></sub> = 93; <em>n</em><sub><em>study 2</em></sub> = 35) on perceived trustworthiness and usefulness of the so called ‘balanced news chatbots’. These chatbots present a selection of opposing alternative and mainstream perspectives on topics of societal divide like climate change. We found that participants from both groups responded positively to the balanced news chatbot. Trust and perceived usefulness were identified to be key indicators of a positive attitude towards and high intentions of using such a chatbot, corroborating the acceptance of balanced news chatbots as a potential tool to reduce polarisation and conflict, piercing existing information bubbles. In both studies we also found that participants with higher conspiratorial beliefs responded even more positively to the balanced news chatbot than individuals with lower conspiratorial beliefs. We conclude that balanced chatbots are promising as a trusted source of diversified information for individuals with varying levels of conspiracy beliefs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"178 ","pages":"Article 108920"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146024714","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}

To explore this phenomenon, we integrate the Uses and Gratifications Theory (U&G), the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), and the concept of normative barriers. In a structured study, we examined farmers' intentions to become TikTokers based on (i) perceived usefulness and ease of use, (ii) non-utilitarian gratifications from being a viewer, and (iii) the influence of traditional norms. Our findings reveal three key patterns. First, perceived usefulness and ease of use significantly increased farmers' intention to become TikTokers. Second, gratifications such as entertainment, social connection, and information seeking gained in the viewer role enhanced perceptions of TikTok's utility and usability in the creator role. Third, normative barriers rooted in cultural traditions inhibited intention, but were mitigated by satisfaction with information and strong viewer engagement. These results suggest that while socio-cultural constraints persist, they are not insurmountable. Encouraging content creation among farmers thus requires not only intuitive platform design and accessible information, but also a sustained focus on fulfilling users' emotional and social needs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"178 ","pages":"Article 108925"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146024718","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}

By employing computer vision and large language models to quantify facial and personality similarity, our mixed-effects analysis reveals a significant gender asymmetry: women prefer facial similarity (homophily), whereas men exhibit a preference for facial dissimilarity (heterophily). Furthermore, personality preferences are found to be context-dependent; a partner's socioeconomic status moderates the demand for similarity, amplifying the preference for women while attenuating it for men in upward evaluation contexts.

By distinguishing between these two modes of social comparison and examining the roles of self-protective and self-expansive defense, the present study reveals the mediating role of psychological defense mechanisms on the effect of social comparison on self-esteem. Our study examines how adolescents use expressive interactions on social media as moderating variables to examine the efficacy of psychological defense mechanisms. The results show that self-protective defenses are not protective of self-esteem; they are detrimental, lowering self-esteem. Comparatively, self-expansive defenses enhance the mediating effect of self-esteem. In terms of social comparison, expressive interactive use can effectively promote self-expansive defense mechanisms, thereby improving self-esteem.
