A likely consequence of this situation is that voice note users become more frequently exposed to recordings of their own voices (self-voices). This correlational study examined if frequent exposure to recordings of the self-voice via voice note replay was associated with improved self-voice recognition (accuracy and response latency) and self-voice liking. Participants (N = 128), regular voice note users, reported voice note replay frequency. They also reported self-voice satisfaction/liking. Finally, participants completed a novel self-voice recognition task, where, across 20 trials, they identified whether a recording was them (self-voice) or not (non-self-voice). The tendency to frequently replay voice notes was positively correlated with self-voice liking and recognition accuracy. These findings may have implications for the treatment of social anxiety disorder and auditory verbal hallucinations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72681,"journal":{"name":"Computers in human behavior reports","volume":"15 ","pages":"Article 100446"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2451958824000794/pdfft?md5=e58f60b466a34e7123a1aaf0c98830fe&pid=1-s2.0-S2451958824000794-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141485697","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}

Results indicated that adopting cloud-based accounting significantly influences the effectiveness of internal auditors in these Jordanian-listed industrial companies. Moreover, the study found that the digital proficiency of internal auditors positively affects how much cloud-based accounting adoption impacts their effectiveness. These findings hold importance for regulators and decision-makers, offering insights to shape potential new regulations aimed at enhancing the use of cloud-based accounting in internal audit departments within Jordan's industrial sector. This could ultimately help internal auditors in overseeing public funds. Given the extensive impact of cloud technology on modern business, it's crucial to understand how these innovations can improve the precision and benefits of internal audit functions. Exploring the factors that drive the implementation of cloud technologies in internal audit is also essential.

It has been widely applied in psychotherapy to address Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and personality, anxiety, and eating disorders. Despite usually being effective, IR's underlying mechanism has not been clarified yet. Consistently, different assumptions may correspond to different IR versions and outcomes. Among these versions, active IR (AIR) – meaning a rescripting where the patient is the active ‘<em>rescriptor</em>’ – seems to have particularly positive effects. So far, IR use has been almost exclusively limited to in vivo settings. But the increasing availability of Virtual Reality (VR) in the last few years has favored the <em>in virtuo</em> implementation of safe and effective psychological treatments. On these grounds – and given that virtual scenarios can offer the possibility to perform any necessary actions and even more than real ones – we hypothesize that implementing AIR in VR can be effective in treating psychological conditions. As a preliminary evaluation of this assumption, we systematically searched the literature and reviewed the studies concerning VR realizations of AIR addressing mental issues. Our literature analysis provides the first evidence supporting this hypothesis, yet urging further research and testing.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72681,"journal":{"name":"Computers in human behavior reports","volume":"15 ","pages":"Article 100440"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2451958824000733/pdfft?md5=0c2160a50ffca4068cdfd387b3df9fa8&pid=1-s2.0-S2451958824000733-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141297844","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}

The social-emotional lives of the majority of adolescents are largely conducted via digital media use (DMU; e.g., social media, text messaging). Yet the past decade of research on DMU and anxiety has yielded mixed results (e.g., Keles et al., 2020 review), leaving the complex role that DMU might play in the emergence and maintenance of anxiety poorly understood. A key step forward is to leverage psychophysiology to identify individual differences in cognitive and emotional processes that confer vulnerability to potential negative effects of DMU. Further, given the ubiquity of DMU, a greater focus is needed on measurements that move beyond sheer frequency to capture DMU in comparison to face-to-face (FTF) social interactions. This study examined attention bias (AB), characterized by selective and exaggerated attention toward or away from threat, as a moderator of the link between DMU and anxiety in adolescents (<em>N</em> = 75; 42 female) aged 12–14 years (<em>M</em> = 13.28, <em>SD</em> = 0.87). AB was indexed during a dot probe task using reaction time metrics (i.e., trial-level bias) and via ERPs capturing attentional selection and discrimination (N170) and cognitive control (N2) to threat compared to neutral faces. AB moderated associations between DMU and anxiety. A greater preference to use DMU vs FTF predicted greater anxiety among those with a greater behavioral bias away from threat, blunted N170, and blunted N2 in the presence of threat. Future research should examine potential causal and bidirectional links between DMU and anxiety and explore whether preferences for technology-mediated interactions and individual differences in threat processing increase risk.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72681,"journal":{"name":"Computers in human behavior reports","volume":"15 ","pages":"Article 100439"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2451958824000721/pdfft?md5=2f59ea22260916ff84ee8522cfb7d1b3&pid=1-s2.0-S2451958824000721-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141291462","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}
