Through a multidisciplinary lens, we conducted a digital forensic analysis of 371 URL links obtained from two studies with active online groomers. The analysis reveals that online groomers use URLs to engage in social engineering, distribute malware, solicit Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), and share images. These findings suggests that previous models and stage descriptions of the online grooming process overlook how different ICT tools can be adopted and adapted to facilitate the online grooming and abuse process. We draw on the technology acceptance model to explain that the perceived affordances of a platform, particularly those that facilitate covert or malicious activities, are likely to influence offenders' choices in using these ICTs. The implications of these findings extend to theoretical, methodological, and policy considerations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48471,"journal":{"name":"Computers in Human Behavior","volume":"162 ","pages":"Article 108454"},"PeriodicalIF":9.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142313031","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}

Participants comprised 11425 Chinese college students (M_age = 20.31; 47.72% female). We employed multiple logistic regression analysis to examine the ACEs¹-SVA² connection and constructed a structural equation model to analyze the relationships among the variables. First, the multiple logistic regression analysis revealed a significant increase in the likelihood of SVA² as the number of ACEs¹ increased (OR: 2.40, 95% CI: 2.001–2.888; OR: 4.68, 95% CI: 3.467–6.325). A strong linear association was observed between child abuse/neglect, violence outside the family, and SVA (OR: 1.49, 95% CI: 1.388–1.604; OR: 1.30, 95% CI: 1.170–1.449). Furthermore, significant differences were found based on sex (OR: 1.46, 95% CI: 1.345–1.595), grade (OR: 1.89, 95% CI: 1.509–2.367), and major (OR: 1.47, 95% CI: 1.266–1.699). Second, the serial mediation model suggested that resilience and life satisfaction may serially mediate the relationship between ACEs¹ and SVA² (<em>β</em> = 0.009, SE = 0.001, 95% CI [0.006, 0.011]). These findings imply that promoting resilience and life satisfaction might mitigate the impact of ACEs¹ on SVA².

Built on two influential meta-analyses (Liu et al., 2017; Kates et al., 2018), this meta-analysis aimed to systematically synthesize evidence from 27 randomized controlled experiments, with a total of 55 effect sizes and 2245 participants, and precisely estimate the effect of mobilephone distraction on students' immediate recall scores for the first time.

However, few reviews have examined the extent to which such use becomes problematic and/or disordered (e.g., gaming disorder) in these populations. This review was designed to critically evaluate the literature on autism in relation to gaming disorder (GD) and so-called internet addiction (IA). A systematic search of five databases was conducted, which identified 31 studies. Study quality was generally moderate, with the main weakness across studies tending to relate to psychometrics. A total of 78,442 participants were included across the studies of GD and 14,474 participants in studies of IA. The results showed that, although these conditions appear to be overrepresented in autistic populations, there are no true prevalence studies due to methodological limitations. The frequency rates reported in survey and clinical studies were highly variable and exceeded 20% in some studies. Variables that predict greater risk of problems include being male; adolescent; co-occurring ADHD symptoms; lack of parental rules around devices; parent-child conflict; and high parental stress. There is a need for clinical studies that differentiate excessive gaming and internet use behaviors as either related to impaired control (i.e., addiction) or features of autism (i.e., restricted interests) and determine how these profiles affect overall functioning.

In addition, the study examined the effects of these factors on player loyalty. The study was conducted by constructing structural equation modeling and administering questionnaires to 415 MOBA gamers. Specifically, watching game streams significantly improves individual skill and cooperative game knowledge, which in turn positively affects game loyalty. Game-related social connections also significantly increase cooperative game knowledge and directly contribute to higher game loyalty.
