We assessed participants’ emotion ratings and skin conductance responses when they were presented with neutral or fear-inducing sounds alone or in the presence of a virtual character with a varying extent of human-like features (virtual female or male person, wooden puppet, point cloud). The characters were presented using the same social framing, i.e., had the same social meaning. Our results show a significant reduction in SCR responses to fear-inducing sounds in the presence of a virtual character, but only if it is embodied as a woman or a wooden puppet. Clarifying the role of the social frame, a control study showed no social buffering effects if the wooden puppet was presented without the social frame. Our results show that the characteristics of a virtual character significantly moderate the social buffering of fear responses. Our findings shed light on the nature of virtual social buffering effects and are relevant for developing virtual applications for clinical and societal interventions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"168 ","pages":"Article 108657"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143815044","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 recent years, researchers have focused on the potential benefits of nature exposure in alleviating problematic substance or behavioral use, given its ability to reduce stress. However, most studies focus on substance addiction, with limited research on digital detox. Additionally, the heterogeneity of different types of nature exposure has been overlooked. Moreover, the longitudinal and within-person impacts of nature exposure on PSVU remain unexplored. To address these gaps, this study used cross-sectional, longitudinal, and weekly-diary designs to explore the relationship between nature exposure and PSVU, along with the mediating roles of positive emotion and interpersonal connection. Specifically, Study 1a (<em>N</em> = 290) used a cross-sectional design, and multiverse-style analysis revealed that, except for the incidental nature exposure, the remaining three types of nature exposure (intentional outdoor, intentional indoor, and indirect) could significantly and negatively predict subjective PSVU. Study 1b (<em>N</em> = 282) employed a longitudinal design, and cross-lagged analysis found that increased intentional outdoor, indoor, and indirect nature exposure at T1 led to decreased PSVU at T2. Study 2 (<em>N</em> = 180) used a seven-week diary study and multilevel mediation analysis to examine whether the relationship between nature exposure and adolescent PSVU was mediated by positive emotion and interpersonal connection. At the within-person level, the results revealed that intentional outdoor nature exposure positively related to interpersonal connection in the same week and one week later, resulting in a reduction in PSVU the next week. The theoretical and practical implications, as well as future directions, were discussed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"168 ","pages":"Article 108661"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143807328","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}

This study explored the wishes of suicidal individuals and the temporal dynamics of their wishes by focusing on how RTs change over time after individuals express suicidal ideation. Twitter data from Japan were collected via the Twitter API. Specifically, tweets containing “#shinitai (I want to die)”, RTs posted within the first hour of these tweets (targets), and RTs posted by users who did not tweet expressions of suicidal ideation (controls) were collected for four weeks. Approximately 60 % of the target RTs were negative, and negative emotional words occurred more frequently than did the control RTs (<em>p</em>s < .001). However, the correspondence analysis and co-occurrence network analysis revealed that frequent words changed over time, with fluctuations between words indicating the wish to die and words reflecting the wish for resolution. The results suggest that although users who tweeted expressions of suicidal ideation were primarily interested in the negative sentiments in others’ tweets, they oscillated between the wish to die and the wish to live. The potential contribution of focusing on RTs for a detailed understanding of temporal dynamics in the wishes of suicidal individuals is discussed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"168 ","pages":"Article 108663"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143807327","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}

However, few studies compare these biases among esports gamers (ESG), high-risk gamers (HRG), and other frequent gamers, despite ESG and HRG both groups dedicating significant time to gaming. This study included 47 male participants aged 15 to 19. Participants were categorized as ESG, casual gamers (CG), or HRG based on their MOBA experience, esports training, and Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) scores. Each participant completed a dot-probe task with 56 stimulus conditions based on gaming cues, while eye-tracking technology recorded eye movements. The results indicated that HRG spent more total viewing time on stimulus images than ESG and CG. Additionally, HRG had longer first fixation durations and fewer saccade counts than the other two groups. Furthermore, HRG reported higher impulsivity and lower attentional focusing, suggesting a distinct psychological profile. Although ESG did not exhibit the same attentional biases as HRG, their self-reported gaming time was similar. This may be due to gaming being a career commitment for ESG, while for HRG, it serves as an escape from life pressures. Notably, eye-movement measures can identify high-risk tendencies early and uncover differences missed by self-report scales, including saccade count and attentional shifting. Caution is needed when diagnosing gaming disorder solely based on gaming time and self-reports. Future research could use attentional bias tasks as complementary diagnostic tools and further explore higher depression levels in HRG and ESG compared to CG.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"168 ","pages":"Article 108662"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143791918","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}

The current study provides a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis of the relationship between digital technology use and psychosocial well-being in young children aged 4–6 years. A systematic search of eight databases was undertaken for studies published between January 2011 and February 2024. Studies reporting any quantitative measure of children's digital technology use (e.g., screentime, content, context, or specific device use - tablets, smartphones, computers, TV, gaming) and an indicator of psychosocial well-being (affect, behavioral difficulties, social functioning, and parent-child relationship quality) were included. After screening 3,554 records, 51 studies were included in the review (<em>n</em> = 83,862). The meta-analysis showed negative correlations between children's digital technology use and their overall psychosocial well-being (<em>r</em> = −.12, 95 % CI [-.24, −.00]), social functioning (<em>r</em> = −.06, 95 % CI [-.10, −.02]), behavioral functioning (<em>r</em> = −.10, 95 % CI [-.13, −.07]), and parent-child relationship quality (<em>r</em> = −.13, 95 % CI [-.20, −.06]). Of the few studies that measured technology use in ways other than duration (e.g., content, context), findings were mixed. While the negative relationship between amount of digital technology use and psychosocial well-being provides some support for recommendations to limit young children's digital technology use, a range of causal mechanisms should be considered.

We further tested hypotheses about the main and interactive effects of theoretically-informed social and mobile media uses on the news-finds-me perception (directly) and fake news-sharing (indirectly), for a more nuanced understanding of the antecedents. Little is known about how uses of individual social media platforms and different uses of mobile phones are related and interact to shape users’ experiences with incidental news and subsequent sharing behaviors. Our findings demonstrate why it is important to consider how uses of social and mobile media function both independently and interactively to shape how people encounter news. For example, the interaction between Facebook use and mobile phone use for news increased the NFM perception directly and fake news-sharing indirectly, while Facebook use interacted with mobile phone use for political information to yield negative direct and indirect effects. While this integrated approach to studying social and mobile media represents a contribution for scholarship on the NFM perception, we recognize the distinctive characteristics of our sample and also interpret the findings through that lens.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"168 ","pages":"Article 108658"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143783908","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}

The findings, based on Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis, reveal that perceived dataveillance diminishes information disclosure value and negatively impacts information disclosure behavior. Furthermore, prior dataveillance experiences intensify perceived dataveillance, reduce users' willingness to share information, and increase the likelihood of discontinuation. Additionally, perceived information disclosure value plays a pivotal dual role, encouraging information disclosure while mitigating discontinuation intentions.
