Instead, flow state has traditionally been measured using retrospective self-reports that rely on memory ability and are vulnerable to reporter bias. In our study, we examined if altered time perception can be observed during flow state by measuring temporal processing both during and after an activity. Seventy healthy young adults played the virtual reality game ‘Beat Saber’ with three challenge levels (easy, medium, and hard) in a repeated-measures design. We predicted the medium condition would induce flow due to the balance between participant skill and challenge, leading to time being reported as passing faster than easy and hard conditions. We also measured self-reported flow experience, emotions, objective task performance, and heart rate/variability (HR/HRV). Time perception was measured both concurrently (during gameplay) by participants verbally signalling the passage of 50-s intervals, and retrospectively (after gameplay) through session duration estimates. Consistent with previous flow research, the medium-challenge condition was associated with the highest levels of subjective flow and lowest levels of negative emotions. HR increased and HRV decreased as challenge increased. Notably, there was a significant relationship between concurrent time perception and flow experience. Participants in the medium-challenge (flow) condition perceived 50-s intervals as significantly shorter than in the easy and hard conditions, indicating that flow in our experiment was associated with time acceleration. Measuring concurrent time perception therefore provides an objective alternative to retrospective self-report when measuring flow states.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72681,"journal":{"name":"Computers in human behavior reports","volume":"18 ","pages":"Article 100664"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143817652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sample consisted of 726 young people (<em>M</em>_age = 16.17, <em>SD</em> = 2.43) from Spain. Confirmatory factor analysis supported a model with five factors: <em>Noticing</em> disinformation, interpreting it as an <em>Emergency</em>, developing a sense of personal <em>Responsibility</em>, <em>Knowing</em> how to intervene, and <em>Acting</em> against disinformation. The findings indicated that the DISI-BIMS is a psychometrically sound measure that could aid in measuring the socio-cognitive processes of diverse young people when they decide to counteract disinformation. The results also showed that older participants reported higher means in <em>Noticing</em> and <em>Knowing</em> but lower in <em>Emergency</em> than younger participants. Girls reported lower means in <em>Noticing</em> and <em>Knowing</em> but higher means in <em>Emergency</em> than boys. Additionally, sexual minority participants and those with an immigrant background reported higher means in <em>Emergency</em> compared to heterosexual participants and those without an immigrant background, respectively. Finally, affective empathy was positively related to all five steps of the DISI-BIMS. Conversely, while beneficial for <em>Emergency</em> and <em>Responsibility</em>, cognitive empathy was negatively associated with <em>Noticing</em> and <em>Knowing</em>, indicating that it sometimes hinders immediate action due to over-rationalization and perspective-taking complexities. This distinction helps explain differential associations between empathy and the decision process upon counteracting disinformation. It highlights the importance of considering both facets of empathy in intervention efforts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72681,"journal":{"name":"Computers in human behavior reports","volume":"18 ","pages":"Article 100671"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143817654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objectives are: 1) to analyze the autoregressive behavior over time of the cybervictimization, cyberperpetration, and cyberbystanding dimensions; 2) to explore the cross-prediction relationships between each dimension and time. For this purpose, an analytical and longitudinal study was conducted in three waves with approximately six months between each one, in which 1052 Spanish students (43.7 % boys, n = 460, range 11–17 years) participated. They were from 12 schools in seven different regions of Spain. A cross-lagged panel model was conducted to test the bidirectional and longitudinal relationships between cyberperpetration, cybervictimization, and cyberbystanding in adolescents. The results suggest that all autoregressive effects were positive and significant, implying that all three dimensions were stable over time. In addition, there were several significant cross-effects: between cybervictimization at T1 and cyberbystanding at T2 and between cybervictimization at T1 and cyberbullying perpetration at T2.

This study addresses the issue by proposing the use of intuitive audiovisual interventions to guide pedestrian route selection based on congestion status. The intervention assumes a scenario where pedestrians without specific route preferences are navigating through a junction of multiple paths leading to the same destination within a station. The audio-visual content comprised pictograms of people turning left and right as a visual stimulus, accompanied by a noise as an auditory stimulus. The strength of the induction was manipulated by the ratio of the number of pictograms turning left and right and the sound pressure ratio of the left and right channel noise. Twenty-five participants rated which route they would prefer to take, left or right, after viewing the audiovisual content embedded in a background image of scenes of forks in paths at a station. The results demonstrate that the rated value of the intention to choose a route was more likely to be selected for visual stimuli when the number of pictograms was smaller. Furthermore, this study confirmed the effects of inducement strength. The effect of the difference in the final left-right sound pressure ratio was partially confirmed for auditory stimuli. The audiovisual intervention proposed in this study could be an effective means of influencing pedestrian route-selection behavior, leading to reduced congestion in public spaces.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72681,"journal":{"name":"Computers in human behavior reports","volume":"18 ","pages":"Article 100670"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143817692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
