Primary data from 170 individuals was collected via a well-structured online survey. We utilized statistical analysis and tree-based machine learning techniques for quantitative analysis, and thematic analysis for qualitative data.

This mixed-methods study examines the impact of online DA on the motivation and speaking anxiety of second/foreign language (L2) learners in an L2 context (Iran), extending the analysis beyond traditional classroom settings. For this purpose, the study involved 60 intermediate EFL learners, who were homogenized using the Oxford Quick Placement Test (OQPT) and randomly divided into a control (n = 30) and an experimental (n = 30) group. Pre-tests, interventions, and post-tests were administered using the Attitude/Motivation Test Battery (AMTB) and Speaking Anxiety Scale (SAS) to assess their motivation and speaking anxiety. Additionally, 10 EFL learners of the experimental participated in a focus-group interview to provide qualitative insights on the effectiveness of online DA. Data analysis was conducted using independent sample t-tests and a content analysis approach. Findings indicated a significant increase in motivation for the experimental group compared to the control group after the interventions. Furthermore, the experimental group showed better management of speaking anxiety at the end of the study. Additionally, the qualitative results highlighted four major themes: online DA enhances EFL learners' sense of achievement, online DA increases willingness to communicate, online DA encourages risk-taking, and online DA fosters positive attitudes. The study concludes with recommendations for stakeholders.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72681,"journal":{"name":"Computers in human behavior reports","volume":"17 ","pages":"Article 100584"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143147012","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}

Participants rated how acceptable they found the use of each implant across age groups, while also detailing their concerns with each. Data were analysed using non-parametric statistics and conventional content analysis. Nine adults with CP and 43 parents/carers of people with CP completed the survey. Most participants found the use of each implant acceptable throughout childhood. However, especially for younger children, acceptability was higher for cochlear implants than for the two emerging devices. Common participant concerns were that the child may identify positively with their condition and the community, that the implant may not be effective for the various types and severities of CP, and that parents may not have enough information to decide that the benefits outweigh the risks. These findings provide initial validation to researchers that families of potential young users will consider such neural implants, while also reinforcing the need for transparent communication with the CP community.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72681,"journal":{"name":"Computers in human behavior reports","volume":"17 ","pages":"Article 100591"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143147014","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}

While there has been a growing body of research on esports, including the topic of players' wellbeing, there is a lack of studies that explore stakeholders' perspectives on players' wellbeing and career prospects in the esports industry. This study employs a qualitative case study approach using semi-structured interviews to explore key stakeholders' perceptions including event organisers (<em>n</em> = 2), an international esports association (<em>n</em> = 1), a national esports federation (<em>n</em> = 1), a professional team (<em>n</em> = 1), and a sponsor (<em>n</em> = 1). The key stakeholders interviewed for the study are prominent and influential leaders in the esports industry. Through thematic analysis, three themes were identified: (a) Importance of Maintaining Physical Health, (b) Developing Life and Transferrable Skills, and (c) Understanding Esports Careers and Developing Future Plans. The findings highlight the significance of physical health, psychological resilience, communication skills, financial management, and career planning. These factors positively impact on players' wellbeing and career prospects, not only during their active esports career but also in their post-esports career. This exploratory study, thus, offers in-depth insights from key industry leaders, emphasising the need for focused support mechanisms for esports players. This encourages further investigation into players’ wellbeing and career prospects, providing additional empirical evidence to establish effective support systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72681,"journal":{"name":"Computers in human behavior reports","volume":"17 ","pages":"Article 100589"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143147009","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}
