However, the sensitivity of different paradigms for detecting this bias remains underexplored. This study compared three visual attentional bias paradigms: dot probe (DP), eye movement (EM), and MouseView.js (MV) in detecting cannabis-related attentional biases among cannabis users and non-users. Thirty-one participants (i.e., 16 users and 15 non-users) completed all measures: DP (reaction time to probes replacing cannabis or neutral stimuli), EM (measured via eye-tracking), and MV (cursor-based dwell time). Linear mixed-effects models examined the effects of stimulus type, group, craving, and cannabis use severity. The EM and MV tasks revealed significant stimulus effects, with non-users showing greater attention to neutral images, while cannabis users exhibited more evenly distributed attention across stimuli. In the EM task, a significant stimulus × severity interaction indicated reduced attentional differentiation with increased cannabis use severity. MV results followed a similar, but less precise pattern. In contrast, the DP task showed minimal group or interaction effects and lacked sensitivity to detect attentional differences. These findings suggest that EM-based measures are more sensitive for detecting cannabis-related attentional biases, particularly when accounting for cannabis use severity. MV showed some alignment with EM patterns but demonstrated weaker effects. The DP task, despite its widespread use, may be insufficient for capturing cannabis-related attentional differences. Results highlight the importance of task selection in attentional bias research and the potential influence of individual differences in cannabis use severity.","PeriodicalId":93857,"journal":{"name":"Addictive behaviors","volume":"185 ","pages":"108879"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149217623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While some studies suggest that PSMU predicts later poor mental health, others do not. There is also limited evidence on the role of sleep in these associations. To clarify these questions the present study investigated the associations between PSMU and mental health, and the mediating role of sleep. The eMediate study participants (n = 437, 49.7 % female, mean age = 22.62 ± 1.82 years) who completed four surveys of social media use, sleep, and mental health at three-month intervals were included. Multilevel mediation analyses were conducted to examine the associations between the variables. PSMU significantly predicted subsequent depressive and anxiety symptoms. Insomnia symptoms and poor sleep quality partially mediated these associations. Insomnia was a stronger mediator than sleep quality. Results also showed that PSMU was indirectly associated with wellbeing through insomnia and poor sleep quality. This study identifies poor sleep as a pathway through which PSMU may impact mental health, highlighting the importance of addressing sleep problems to mitigate the effect of PSMU on wellbeing. Important practical implications for both mental health and future research are discussed.","PeriodicalId":93857,"journal":{"name":"Addictive behaviors","volume":"170 ","pages":"108446"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144812763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While EMA research has examined drinking locations at the event level using categories of drinking locations, there is considerable within-category variability in the attributes of drinking locations. Using data from a 6-week EMA study (N = 207), this exploratory study sought to determine drinking locations through the combination of EMA self-report and GPS coordinates. Through multilevel modeling, we also tested whether specific locations were associated with variability in drinking (self-reported drinking and breathalyzer readings) and craving for alcohol. Results indicated significant differences in both alcohol consumption and craving between home, friend's houses, and on-premises drinking locations. Our results offer proof of concept for using mobile and geospatial data to passively identify on-premise drinking locations. This approach has the potential to aid in the development of targeted intervention strategies that identify and mitigate risks associated with specific drinking environments.","PeriodicalId":93857,"journal":{"name":"Addictive behaviors","volume":"170 ","pages":"108450"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12347685/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144812764","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}
