Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the mediating relationship of physical appearance perfectionism and upward physical appearance comparison between problematic TikTok use and body appreciation. The sample included 185 TikTok users. Serial mediation analysis revealed a significant indirect negative relationship between problematic TikTok use and body appreciation through physical appearance perfectionism, but not upward physical appearance comparison, or physical appearance perfectionism and upward physical appearance comparison in serial. Thus, with the rapid growth of TikTok, this study highlights the importance of identifying the individuals who may be more vulnerable to the effects of the app. We suggest possible practice implications such as the implementation of screening strategies to identify those high in physical appearance perfectionism, and the development of workshops aimed at promoting positive body image in the face of SNS use.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72746,"journal":{"name":"Current research in behavioral sciences","volume":"7 ","pages":"Article 100156"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S266651822400010X/pdfft?md5=361a74b02793da8cb892ecc0d8f8fcee&pid=1-s2.0-S266651822400010X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141438386","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}

Our study involved participants from the general populations of China (<em>N</em>= 1123) and Germany (<em>N</em>= 1018), surveyed between December 2021 and February 2022. Using an online survey tool, we assessed self-reported mind wandering (measured by the Mind Wandering Spontaneous and Deliberate Scale) and loneliness (measured by the UCLA Loneliness Scale), while controlling for self-esteem (measured by the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale), self-efficacy (measured by the General Self-efficacy Scale), and mental health status (measured by the General Health Questionnaire). Strikingly, we found that approximately half of the respondents in both China and Germany reported feelings of loneliness (49.8% in China versus 49.5% in Germany, <em>p</em>= 0.936). Regression analysis further revealed that higher levels of self-reported spontaneous (<em>β</em> = 0.04, <em>p</em>= 0.047) and deliberate mind wandering (<em>β</em> = 0.05, <em>p</em>= 0.009) were associated with higher levels of loneliness, even after controlling for sociodemographic variables, self-esteem, self-efficacy, and mental health status.

In this paper we demonstrate that, despite these methodological reformulations, intersectionality as invisibility still manifests in quantitative health modelling, thereby not capturing Black women's unique experiences. We use the U.S. 1972–2022 integrated General Social Survey data and the overall self-rated heath, race, and gender variables.

Participants were asked to provide socio-demographic information and complete questionnaires assessing Dark Tetrad traits, empathy, and alexithymia.</p><p>Mediation analyses revealed that Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and sadism had both a direct and an indirect effect on empathy, with alexithymia being a significant mediator in the relationship between these traits and empathy, even after controlling for age and gender. Conversely, narcissism was found to be significantly correlated only with alexithymia, but not with empathy.</p><p>Taken together, results show that people with Dark Tetrad traits may have alterations in their socio-emotional abilities, with difficulties in recognising and understanding their own feelings and those of others. Individual differences in the levels of alexithymia and empathy should be taken into account in the treatment of individuals with adverse personality traits in order to prevent socially dangerous behaviours.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72746,"journal":{"name":"Current research in behavioral sciences","volume":"7 ","pages":"Article 100160"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666518224000147/pdfft?md5=715658007d0ec53ba25bb86bd95351e1&pid=1-s2.0-S2666518224000147-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142163578","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}
