However, there are still gaps in understanding the nuanced relationship between Tourism Information Quality (TIQ), destination evaluation, and tourists' responses. This study employs the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) and Information Quality (IQ) Model to explore the effect of TIQ of user-generated content (UGC) and firm-generated content (FGC), focusing on their impact on destination trust, destination image, and tourist behavioral intentions. The study began with a pilot study to refine the IQ items and consolidate them into a single abstract construct to improve model parsimony. Following this, a cross-sectional survey was administered to 475 actual tourists in Algeria. Employing the Covariance-Based Structural Equation Modeling approach, the study unveils distinct influence patterns of UGC and FGC on key tourism outcomes. The findings reveal that the TIQ of UGC positively influences destination image and trust, though it does not directly influence behavioral intention. Conversely, TIQ of FGC quality significantly influences destination image, trust, and behavioral intentions. These results highlight the critical roles of information quality of both UGC and FGC in shaping tourists' evaluations, with FGC proving more effective in driving future tourist behaviors. This study advances the field of IQ in tourism-generated content on social media by integrating UGC and FGC and extending existing models beyond destination image within a cohesive framework. The study equips destinations with acumens to leverage TIQ on social media platforms, enhancing tourism appeal and attracting more visitors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7141,"journal":{"name":"Acta Psychologica","volume":"256 ","pages":"Article 105024"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143855953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such a bias can be influenced by long-term cultural experiences and temporary cultural priming tasks. However, the impact of the latter is transient, and it is unclear if an intermediate influence, more lasting than temporary priming tasks but less enduring than a cultural background, such as language learning, could induce a similar and stable processing bias. Given that language can shape people's mindset, this study aimed to investigate whether language learning experiences could affect participants' self-processing bias during a decision-making task. The findings showed that while behavioral results were not significant, ERP data indicated that advanced learners had more negative late N400 and P600 components for moderately self-relevant stimuli compared to highly self-relevant ones, mainly in the left or medial hemispheres. Beginners exhibited similar trends with marginal effects from fronto-central to parietal regions. Additionally, beginners displayed more negative N100 and early N400 responses and lacked a left-lateralized low-beta burst compared to advanced learners. These results suggest that the self-reference effect is present in both L2 beginners and advanced learners but is more pronounced in advanced learners. Notably, advanced learners with extensive English experience are more influenced by Western independent self-construal than beginners, leading them to focus more on highly self-related information and exhibit a stronger self-reference effect.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7141,"journal":{"name":"Acta Psychologica","volume":"256 ","pages":"Article 105017"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143843007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was a cross-sectional study, in which women completed questionnaire measures at their third trimester of pregnancy between February to May 2023. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), Big Five Inventory-2 (BFI-2), Ruminative Responses Scale (RRS), Perceived Stress Scale-14 (PSS-14) and Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ) were administered to assess levels of AND, personality traits, rumination, perceived stress and cognitive fusion respectively. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify associations between these measures and AND. The prevalence of AND among women at their third trimester of pregnancy was 35.1 %. A multivariate logistic regression model identified significant influencing factors as: neuroticism, brooding, perceived stress and cognitive fusion. A tendency of extraversion was a protective factor. This study highlighted the predictive role of cognitive process in the development of AND. Early detection of these modifiable influencing factors is fundamental to provide targeted psychological interventions during pregnancy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7141,"journal":{"name":"Acta Psychologica","volume":"256 ","pages":"Article 105026"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143843006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our disaggregated analysis—considering download volume, app age, price, and publisher rating—confirms the hypothesized effects. Remarkably, established apps and publishers are particularly vulnerable to the intensified negative substitution effect.

Using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) techniques, the study constructed structural equations to investigate the pathways through which student competence, autonomy, relatedness, and homework emotion influence mathematics homework procrastination. The research indicates that homework emotion has the greatest impact on students' mathematics homework procrastination, especially the negative emotions of anxiety and boredom, which are most evident in causing procrastination. Autonomy follows, showing a significant negative correlation with mathematics homework procrastination. Parental and teacher support for autonomy are factors of relatedness that affect students' mathematics homework procrastination. Parental and teacher autonomy support directly applied to mathematics homework often exacerbates students' procrastination in completing math assignments.
