A conjoint analysis of 5340 “swiping” decisions by 445 online daters demonstrated an overwhelming importance of physical attractiveness for dating success. A one SD improvement in physical attractiveness boosts one's selection success by around 20%, while the same increase in intelligence only improves one's chances by 2%. While this field study replicates and concretizes many laboratory findings, our conjoint attribute evaluation also showed that men and women had equal priorities and attribute effects, opposing some common hypotheses in the field. Further, the causal effects of intelligence, height, bio, occupation, and self-reported homophily were literature-consistent, but 7 to 20 times smaller than the effect of attractiveness. Implications for studying dating decisions, as well as practical considerations for designing dating profiles and apps, are discussed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72681,"journal":{"name":"Computers in human behavior reports","volume":"17 ","pages":"Article 100579"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143146935","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 addresses the critical need to understand the factors influencing Filipino nurses' intention to transition to the telemedicine sector amidst this evolving landscape. The objective was to identify significant predictors of telemedicine adoption by surveying 316 Filipino nurses using a higher-ordered Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling approach (PLS-SEM). Employing a comprehensive framework that integrates Task-Technology Fit and the Technology Acceptance Model, the study measured key variables such as behavioral intention, professional satisfaction, and career pursuance intention. The findings revealed that nurses’ attitudes significantly impact both behavioral intention and professional satisfaction, which subsequently influence career pursuance. Task-Technology Fit was also found to primarily affect professional satisfaction through its constructs of task characteristics and technology characteristics but did not have a significant impact on behavioral intention. These results highlight the importance of promoting positive attitudes towards telemedicine, ensuring that the technology is perceived as both useful and user-friendly, and enhancing Task-Technology Fit to facilitate successful telemedicine adoption. Moreover, the study highlights the need for targeted interventions, such as tailored training programs and support systems, to ease the transition for nurses into telemedicine roles. By addressing these areas, healthcare organizations can better support nurses, leading to improved telemedicine integration and overall professional satisfaction.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72681,"journal":{"name":"Computers in human behavior reports","volume":"17 ","pages":"Article 100588"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143147008","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}

Finally, we conducted a comprehensive statistical analysis, which confirmed the instrument's robust reliability (<em>α</em> = 0.976) in measuring teachers' data management competence. The results of the factorial analysis in piloting primary and secondary education samples led to the readjustment of the proposed dimensions into three categories: comprehensive educational analytics, educational problem-solving through data, and promoting meta-learning students through data and ethical implications. Stemmed from the assessed competencies, the EDLSA instrument provides a comprehensive understanding of the human-computer interaction over data in educational settings.

The review follows a structured methodology, assessing 92 primary studies through sixteen research questions covering demographics, application scenarios, user requirements, objectives, functionalities, technologies, advantages, limitations, proposed solutions, ethical and legal implications, and the role of explainable AI (XAI). The findings indicate that while CPT holds promise in inducing behavioral change, many prototypes remain untested on a large scale (60% of surveyed studies only developed at a conceptual level), and long-term effectiveness is still uncertain (36% report attaining their goals, but none focuses on long-term assessment). The study highlights the need for more comparative analyses of persuasion models and tailored approaches to meet diverse user needs.

The study highlights the critical role of linguistic and cultural factors in shaping these patterns, revealing that Francophone regions, particularly France and its former colonies, exhibit a more sustained and consistent interest in the Charlie Hebdo event compared to Anglophone regions. The heightened engagement in French-speaking areas suggests that cultural and historical ties influence public risk perception and awareness. Complementing this analysis with geographic insights from Google Trends, the study provides a more comprehensive understanding of how people in different regions perceive and respond to terrorism. The findings underscore the importance of digital platforms in gauging public awareness and suggest practical implications for designing targeted risk communication strategies.
