In Study 1 (qualitative, <em>N</em> = 81), we conducted focus groups and applied grounded theory to inductively explore participants’ narratives and identify factors that can shape the quality of the sexting experiences. Results revealed ambivalent representations of sexting, which is not a negative experience per se, but rather can be shaped by a series of potentially protective and risk factors. Building on the insights from Study 1, Study 2 (quantitative, <em>N</em> = 584) tested a model that systematically considers both protective and risk factors associated with a positive sexting experience. Results suggest greater importance of protective factors, particularly related to relationship quality and online trust. Moreover, we found that female sexual objectification was significantly and positively associated with greater perceived quality of the sexting experience among men, but not women.

However, these metrics alone fall short of capturing texting, a behavior involving complex interpersonal dynamics. Research on messaging self-perception is scarce — a critical gap since biased perceptions can strain relationships and affect well-being. In one of the first empirical studies on this topic, we conducted an online study with 68 participants, who donated meta-data (message lengths and times) from over 300 WhatsApp chats. Participants answered questions about their messaging behavior, such as whether they write more or respond faster than their contacts. They then received personalized visualizations based on donated data and reassessed their perceptions, allowing us to examine whether data-driven insights improved self-report accuracy. The results show a significant improvement in the alignment between self-reports and objective metrics for absolute response speed and participants’ contribution within a chat. In contrast, assessments of peak activity times and response speed relative to contacts were already fairly accurate and did not change. Finally, although self-report scores changed for two subjective estimates – the even distribution of messages across chats and texting throughout the day – their alignment with objective metrics did not improve significantly. To account for the potential emotional impact of challenging participants’ existing self-perceptions, we assessed their mood and did not find significant changes in positive or negative affect. To conclude, personalized visualizations can enhance the alignment between self-perceptions and objective behavior, potentially guiding individuals toward more intentional texting behavior.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"177 ","pages":"Article 108867"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145737244","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}

Specifically, we exposed participants to pre-tested, ethically digitally-generated, full-frontal nude images of Black, East Asian, and White women and men in a between participants design, and assessed the extent to which the victim and perpetrator were blamed for the creation and sharing of the image, and the extent to which the victim was seen as harmed by the creation and sharing of the image. The analyses revealed that: (1) female victims were perceived to experience more harm than male victims from both the creation and sharing of sexualized deepfakes; (2) male participants attributed less responsibility to perpetrators and less harm to victims for the creation and sharing of deepfakes; and (3) US participants were higher in attributions of victim blame and lower in perpetrator responsibility and victim harm than UK and Australian participants, for both the creation and sharing of sexualized deepfakes.

We examine one such tactic, known as <em>content camouflage</em> <em>that</em> involves blending political posts with non-political material, as a psychological mechanism that may influence how users judge account authenticity. Drawing on real bot profiles deployed during the 2024 U.S. election, which relied on sports content to mask accompanying political content, we conducted two experiments (N = 565 undergraduates; N = 601 adults) comparing reactions to profiles posting political-only content versus mixed political-and-sports content. Across both, content diversification did not directly improve bot detection but reliably increased perceived trustworthiness, which in turn made accounts more likely to be classified as human. In the adult sample, this trustworthiness pathway was moderated by political ideology. Together, the findings identify a subtle credibility mechanism through which AI-generated bots exploit users’ reliance on heuristic cues, highlighting the need for interventions that account for new AI-enabled evasion tactics, such as strategic content blending.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"177 ","pages":"Article 108881"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145685066","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}
