Therefore, in the context of digital technologies, understanding the factors that affect consumer experience and the preferences in the online purchasing process of sports shoes is very important. This study employs Latent Dirichlet Allocation topic analysis to analyze 44,110 online user posts and comments from social platforms, extracting thematic elements of consumer experience needs for purchasing sports shoes online. The information obtained is further encoded and designed into a questionnaire, which is then utilized alongside the Kano model to analyze the overall preferences of consumer experience needs. The results indicate that webpage design and basic product information are considered as Must-be attributes for user experience needs; providing information on after-sales service policies and product comment, products' special feature information, and online size testing are recognized as Performance attributes. Additionally, high-tech interaction methods, visual presentation, personalized customization, virtual try-on, apparel matching recommendations, and dressing scenario recommendations are identified as Attractive attributes. The study reveals that in the context of new digital technology development, the online shopping experience for sports shoes is enhanced across four dimensions: platform experience augmentation, product experience augmentation, user demand augmentation, and interactive experience augmentation. These four dimensions collectively constitute the holistic experience design for the online retail platform. Therefore, this research provides case references and theoretical insights for researchers and developers in the fields of brand marketing, experience design, and product service innovation.</p>","PeriodicalId":8742,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences","volume":"15 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11939806/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143727916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experiment 2 observed retrieval-induced facilitation for young but RIF for older participants. Although both young and older participants were encouraged to use an integration technique to facilitate learning during Experiment 2, the levels of integration only predicted the magnitudes of retrieval-induced facilitation for young but not for older participants.

The TC group also demonstrated superior improvements in executive functions, particularly in inhibition and working memory. Additionally, the TC group exhibited significantly enhanced effective connectivity from the left and right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex to Brodmann area 8, indicating improved brain communication.

Psychological factors, including attachment styles, may play a role in emotional regulation and eating behaviors. According to attachment theory, insecure attachment is linked to difficulties in managing emotions and an increased likelihood of engaging in dysfunctional eating patterns. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between past and present attachment styles, binge-eating behaviors, and QoL scores in individuals with overweight or obesity (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m²) compared to those with a BMI in the normal weight range (18.5-24.9 kg/m²). <b>Methods.</b> A cross-sectional study evaluated 96 women with overweight/obesity and 96 women with normal weight. Psychological measures included the Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI), the Attachment Style Questionnaire (ASQ), the Binge Eating Scale (BES), and the Obesity-Related Well-being questionnaire (ORWELL 97). Data analysis included between-group comparisons of attachment dimensions and hierarchical regression to examine associations with the QoL score. <b>Results.</b> Participants with overweight/obesity showed less secure attachment (U = 5508, <i>p</i> = 0.019) and more avoidant attachment styles (U = 3825, <i>p</i> = 0.042) compared to participants with normal weight. Conversely, no significant differences were observed in PBI scores. Regression analysis revealed that attachment anxiety (B = 0.83, <i>p</i> = 0.009) and binge-eating behaviors (B = 0.57, <i>p</i> = 0.003) were significantly associated with a lower QoL. <b>Conclusions.</b> Obesity is associated with avoidant attachment in adulthood, but no differences were found in parental attachment when compared to individuals with normal body weight. Anxious attachment in individuals with obesity is strongly linked to reduced QoL, underlying the role played by attachment-related factors in the psychosocial challenges individuals often have to face.</p>","PeriodicalId":8742,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Sciences","volume":"15 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11939372/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143727756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the effects of eating motivations, defined by factors such as health, pleasure, social influences, and environmental concerns, on orthorexic tendencies. Using the Turkish-validated versions of ORTO-11 and The Eating Motivation Survey (TEMS-Brief version), data were collected from 416 students who meet the study participation criteria (mean age: 22.3 ± 4.41 years, 84.4% female, and mean BMI: 22.74 ± 4.54 kg/m²). The results showed that ORTO-11 scores increased significantly with BMI, indicating lower orthorexic tendencies. TEMS sub-dimensions revealed that the health sub-dimension decreased orthorexic tendencies (<i>p</i> = 0.044), whereas the traditional eating sub-dimension significantly increased them (<i>p</i> = 0.000). These findings suggest a complex interaction where prioritizing health may conflict with cultural eating norms. Interventions should address this balance by promoting a holistic approach to nutrition, integrating stress management techniques, and raising awareness of ON through targeted workshops and educational programs for students and health professionals.

By using a narrative review approach, this study synthesizes recent findings from gerontology and psychology to examine these relationships. The analysis shows that higher technological proficiency enhances self-esteem by boosting self-efficacy, fostering social participation, and promoting greater autonomy. Older adults who are skilled in using digital tools exhibit greater confidence in managing daily activities and maintaining their social networks, contributing to their psychological resilience. Conversely, lower technological proficiency is linked to frustration, social exclusion, and diminished self-esteem, exacerbated by the digital divide. However, despite these insights, much remains unexplored; for example, no longitudinal study has been conducted to capture the dynamic relations between technological proficiency and self-esteem.

In Study 1, a quantitative regression analysis was conducted with 62 primary school teachers. They completed the project-based teaching questionnaire and performed four cognitive tasks: remote association (creativity), object detail memory (object detail processing ability), paper folding (spatial ability), and sentence comprehension (verbal ability). Regression analysis revealed that spatial ability significantly predicted a teacher's project-based teaching ability, even after controlling for age, gender, teaching experience, and project-based teaching experience. In Study 2, a qualitative exploratory case study was employed to examine how spatial ability manifests in two teachers' project-based teaching plans. The teacher with higher spatial ability used schemata, abstract concepts, a better overall plan, and a deeper understanding of mathematics than teachers with lower spatial ability.
