The present study provides the Factors of Online Disinhibition Scale, a German adaptation of the English Online Disinhibition Scale by Cheung et al. (2020). Using a German-speaking sample of <em>N</em> = 477 (188 female), we employed exploratory and confirmatory item response factor analyses based on the Graded Response Model. These analyses suggested a six-factor solution with correlated factors that corresponded to the six dimensions of the ODE. Factor correlations were modest to high, but did not indicate the existence of a general factor. With one exception, reliabilities (McDonald's ω) were high (ω ≥ 0.8). The exception was the <em>solipsistic introjection</em> subscale, which yielded a reliability of ω = 0.58). FODS was weakly associated with gender and moderately to strongly with age in three subscales (<em>minimization of authority</em>, <em>invisibility</em>, and <em>dissociative anonymity</em>). We encourage researchers to use the Factors of Online Disinhibition Scale presented in this paper as it showed good reliabilities (exception: <em>solipsistic introjection</em>) and is a differentiated, validated, and widely applicable measure of six factors that cause online disinhibition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72681,"journal":{"name":"Computers in human behavior reports","volume":"18 ","pages":"Article 100624"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143563044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In response to this issue, our longitudinal experimental study aims to explore the impact of AI integration and cultural orientation on perceived employee autonomy and creative self-efficacy. We formulated and tested four hypotheses to analyze the relationship between AI integration and employee perceptions within different cultural contexts—specifically individualistic cultures, represented by the United Kingdom, and collectivistic cultures, represented by Mexico. A total of 427 participants from professional sectors participated in this study that alternated tasks with and without AI integration, resulting in an analysis of changes in employee perceptions over time. The empirical findings revealed a positive interactive impact of AI integration on creative self-efficacy, particularly pronounced among participants from collectivistic cultures. Furthermore, reports on employee autonomy revealed a significant negative impact of AI integration in the overall sample. An exploratory gender-specific analysis further revealed significant differences in the impact of AI integration on employee autonomy, with male participants experiencing a more pronounced decrease than female participants. Our findings provide quantitative evidence on how AI integration impacts diverse employee groups, making a significant contribution to the research on ethical and societal considerations in the deployment of AI.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72681,"journal":{"name":"Computers in human behavior reports","volume":"18 ","pages":"Article 100623"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143519436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This often makes it difficult for learners to construct the mental models necessary for understanding mathematical content and meeting academic requirements. Research has shown that incorporating a second level of content representation—particularly graphical representations—can help students develop more viable mental models. This longitudinal quasi-experimental study aims to enhance mathematical learning in higher education by supporting students' mental modeling. We use a new approach called natural-language conceptual Graph (NaGra), which translates mathematical formalism into natural language. Using computer-linguistic software, we then generate knowledge maps from these texts, providing two distinct types of additional representations to complement traditional instruction. In a 6-point repeated-measures control-group design, 139 math undergraduates received either (a) a natural language text, (b) a knowledge map, (c) both the natural language text and the knowledge map, or (d) the traditional instruction based solely on mathematical formalism. Results from non-parametric longitudinal analyses indicate that students in the experimental conditions consistently outperformed those in the control group over time in mathematical performance. However, students did not perceive the added value of these representations. These findings suggest that the NaGra method can contribute to students’ understanding of STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), where first-year students often struggle to adapt to abstract formal content.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72681,"journal":{"name":"Computers in human behavior reports","volume":"18 ","pages":"Article 100640"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143529737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates Breaks in Presence (BIPs) by examining attentional and cognitive mechanisms through psychophysiological measures and a modified secondary task reaction time (STRT) paradigm. Two experiments (Study 1: N = 78; Study 2: N = 63) required participants to play a desktop video game while responding to auditory stimuli either integrated into the game's narrative (narrative stimuli) or external to the virtual environment (external stimuli), potentially disrupting presence. Results showed consistent orienting response (OR) patterns across psychophysiological channels, including electrodermal activity, cardiac activity, and pupil diameter, confirming their reliability as indicators of breaks in presence. Cardiac recovery responses were stronger for external stimuli, suggesting heightened attentional shifts. STRT differences between conditions were limited to early trials, with general learning effects observed in both studies. Habituation patterns emerged in Study 1 but were less pronounced in Study 2, reflecting increased task complexity. Cognitive load measures did not differ significantly. Both studies advance presence research by 1) demonstrating the utility of psychophysiological measures for identifying attentional mechanisms underlying BIPs and 2) highlighting the potential of STRT paradigms for assessing cognitive processing in virtual environments. Future research should explore immersive setups, refine STRT methodologies, and consider individual differences, such as gaming experience, to deepen our understanding of presence dynamics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72681,"journal":{"name":"Computers in human behavior reports","volume":"18 ","pages":"Article 100637"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143519437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, it is essential to investigate the factors that lead to problematic smartphone use and respective negative well-being outcomes and to develop interventions that effectively address these factors. Considering self-control and fear of missing out (FoMO) as key psychological factors promoting problematic smartphone use, we present a conceptual model explaining the emergence of digital stress due to problematic smartphone use, upon which we built a blended training intervention against digital stress. A controlled trial evaluation of the training intervention provided data at multiple time points for multilevel regression analyses on a sample of 175 university students. The results indicated that the intervention was effective in reducing FoMO (fear of missing out) and increasing self-control. Indirect effects suggested that both the reduction in FoMO and the gain in self-control effectively reduced emotional irritation and perceived stress via a reduction in problematic smartphone use. Conclusively, the findings identify key psychological factors that promote problematic smartphone use and demonstrate that these factors can be effectively addressed through appropriate psychological interventions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72681,"journal":{"name":"Computers in human behavior reports","volume":"18 ","pages":"Article 100619"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143508877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A troubling problem given that email overload and volume have been linked to negative wellbeing outcomes for employees. This paper reports on a qualitative study undertaken to help researchers and practitioners better understand email management from the point of view of email users. A sample of 30 knowledge workers were interviewed and asked to identify personal and workplace changes that could help them better manage their use of email. Fifteen informants worked in the public sector (education) while the other 15 worked in a private sector firm (insurance industry). The study took an interpretivist approach with content coding of the semi-structured interviews to develop sensitizing constructs. Analysis of the data uncovered a strong link between what users were telling us and some of the major tenants of attribution theory: locus of causality and stability. Most importantly, we found that most of the knowledge workers we spoke to felt that they could do little personally to manage their use of email. Rather, they felt email management was the responsibility of others (e.g., policies, training, technology). Responses were consistent with a self-serving attribution bias and consistent with the norms in place in organizations supporting an ideal worker culture. This study contributes to the literature in several ways. First, it shows most employees do not take responsibility for their email management problems. Implying that email management needs to be tackled at the organizational level. Second, it provides organizations and employees with practical advice on how they can start to address issues with email management. Third, our findings contribute to theoretical development in this area by exploring email management issues through an attribution theory lens.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72681,"journal":{"name":"Computers in human behavior reports","volume":"18 ","pages":"Article 100618"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143487139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
