There is good reason to implicate self-regulation in our digital recreation duration, choices, and behaviours. However, the direction, degree, and diversity of their association is unclear. To offer more robust and nuanced evidence to this issue of acute public concern, the current study presents a comprehensive meta-analysis of the associations between self-regulation and digital recreation from birth to adolescence – consolidating 183 studies reporting 232 associations from 234,476 children and adolescents. Across these studies, digital recreation clustered into investigations of screen time, features of problematic digital engagement, exposure to violent content, communicating with strangers online, sexting, and media multitasking. Although a pattern of negative bivariate associations was observed between self-regulation and aspects of digital recreation, the strength of association for screen time was weak (r = −.04 for computer use to r = −.15 for social media use). Once control variables were considered, relationships with exposure to violent digital content were rendered similarly trivial, suggesting other variables likely account for these correlations. This reduces our confidence in these associations. In contrast, lower self-regulation was more highly associated with problematic engagement (r = −.28 for problematic gaming to r = −.41 for problematic mobile phone use), communicating with strangers online (r = −.18), and sexting (r = −.20). This pattern of results points to a relationship that is variable by type of digital activity, which in our meta-analyses ranged from null to strong and negative. Where a relationship exists, it may be bi-directional given associations remained for longitudinal studies that positioned either self-regulation or digital recreation as predictor. Most moderators of these associations were non-significant, although the negative association of self-regulation with time spent gaming was increasingly strong with increasing participant age. This study instigates a disentangling of the nature of the relationship between self-regulation and digital choices and behaviours across the early stages of life.

我们有充分的理由认为，自我调节与我们的数字娱乐时间、选择和行为有关。然而，其关联的方向、程度和多样性尚不明确。为了给这一公众高度关注的问题提供更有力、更细致的证据，本研究对从出生到青春期的自我调节与数字娱乐之间的关联进行了全面的荟萃分析--整合了来自 234,476 名儿童和青少年的 183 项研究，报告了 232 种关联。在这些研究中，数字娱乐主要集中在屏幕时间的调查、有问题的数字参与的特征、接触暴力内容、与陌生人在线交流、sexting 和媒体多任务处理。虽然在自我调节和数字娱乐的各个方面之间观察到了负的双变量关联模式，但屏幕时间的关联强度较弱（使用电脑的关联度为-.04，使用社交媒体的关联度为-.15）。一旦考虑了控制变量，与接触暴力数字内容之间的关系也变得同样微不足道，这表明其他变量很可能是这些相关性的原因。这降低了我们对这些关联的信心。相比之下，较低的自我调节能力与问题参与（问题游戏的相关系数为-.28，问题手机使用的相关系数为-.41）、与陌生人在线交流（相关系数为-.18）和性短讯（相关系数为-.20）的相关性更高。这种结果模式表明，不同类型的数字活动之间存在着不同的关系，在我们的元分析中，这种关系从无效到强烈和负面不等。鉴于将自我调节或数字娱乐定位为预测因素的纵向研究仍存在关联，这种关系可能是双向的。虽然自我调节与游戏时间的负相关随着参与者年龄的增加而越来越强，但这些关联的大多数调节因素并不显著。这项研究有助于厘清自我调节与人生早期阶段的数字选择和行为之间的关系。

This study aims to investigate the extent to which perceived personal and school-related factors influence the quality of technology integration in teaching at the upper secondary level and how this differs between general and vocational education. The quality of technology integration was operationalised through the different activities supported by technology according to the ICAP model. We used data from a survey of 1660 teachers from 106 upper secondary schools in Switzerland to construct structural equation models of the interplay between school-related factors, teacher-related factors, and technology integration. Apart from confirming that technology integration is generally high across all school types, the study shows that among school-related factors, goal clarity is a significant predictor of constructive learning activities and of all the three personal factors considered in the study: teachers’ positive beliefs, technological knowledge, and technological pedagogical content knowledge. Moreover, these personal factors, in turn, constitute significant predictors of all the four types of learning activities. Both full-time and dual vocational schools integrate constructive and interactive activities more than general schools, and vocational teachers report significantly higher beliefs and lower technological pedagogical content knowledge than general school teachers. These findings confirm the importance of considering the interplay between personal and school-related factors when training teachers in technology integration, with interesting differences across school types that seem to depend more on the contextual culture than on the curriculum organisation.

本研究旨在调查个人感知因素和学校相关因素对高中教学中技术整合质量的影响程度，以及普通教育和职业教育之间的差异。根据 ICAP 模型，技术整合的质量是通过技术所支持的不同活动来实现的。我们利用对瑞士 106 所高中学校 1660 名教师的调查数据，构建了学校相关因素、教师相关因素和技术整合之间相互作用的结构方程模型。除了证实所有类型学校的技术整合程度普遍较高外，研究还表明，在与学校相关的因素中，目标清晰度是建设性学习活动的重要预测因素，也是研究中考虑的三个个人因素（教师的积极信念、技术知识和技术教学内容知识）的重要预测因素。此外，这些个人因素反过来又对所有四种类型的学习活动构成重要的预测因素。与普通学校相比，全日制和双元制职业学校都更多地融入了建设性和互动性活动，职业学校教师的信念明显高于普通学校教师，而技术教学内容知识则低于普通学校教师。这些研究结果证明，在对教师进行技术整合培训时，考虑个人因素和学校相关因素之间的相互作用非常重要，不同类型学校之间的有趣差异似乎更多地取决于环境文化而非课程组织。

Background

Motivation, encompassing positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, and compulsion, significantly influences addictive behavior. Yet, there is little research available on these motivational dimensions and their connection to addictive behavior. This study addressed these gaps by investigating motivation in internet addiction (IA) and nicotine dependence (ND).

Methods

Cross-sectional data from 472 nicotine users (NUs) and 1004 internet users (IUS) were examined using the Chinese version of the Habit, Reward, and Fear Scale. The Glasso network method was used to estimate the networks, and four interrelated centrality measures were calculated.

Results

IUs exhibited significantly lower total addiction motivation scores, as well as lower reward and fear dimensions, compared to NUs. In the Severity-Motivation Network, reward and fear motivations had the highest centrality. The habitual motivation of NUs demonstrated the highest closeness and betweenness centrality, showing a strong positive correlation with the degree of ND. The fear motivation of IUs exhibited a strong positive correlation with the degree of IA. In the symptom-motivation network, reward and habit nodes displayed higher centrality in NUs, whereas reward and fear nodes were most central for IUs.

Conclusions

The findings indicate that reward, fear, and habit motivations are key factors in explaining behaviors associated with nicotine use and internet use. The unique positions of habitual motivation in ND and fear motivation in IA provide new perspectives for understanding addictive behaviors. These should be considered key motivational targets for clinicians to address.

背景动机包括正强化、负强化和强迫，对成瘾行为有重大影响。然而，有关这些动机维度及其与成瘾行为之间联系的研究却很少。本研究通过调查网络成瘾（IA）和尼古丁依赖（ND）中的动机来填补这些空白。方法使用中文版习惯、奖赏和恐惧量表对 472 名尼古丁使用者（NUs）和 1004 名网络使用者（IUS）的横断面数据进行研究。结果与 NUs 相比，IUs 表现出明显较低的成瘾动机总分，以及较低的奖励和恐惧维度。在严重程度-动机网络中，奖励和恐惧动机的中心度最高。NU 的习惯性动机表现出最高的接近性和中心度之间性，与 ND 程度呈很强的正相关。IU 的恐惧动机与 IA 的程度有很强的正相关性。结论研究结果表明，奖励、恐惧和习惯性动机是解释尼古丁使用和互联网使用相关行为的关键因素。习惯性动机在 ND 中的独特位置和恐惧动机在 IA 中的独特位置为理解成瘾行为提供了新的视角。临床医生应将这两种动机作为重点研究对象。

This study investigated the effects of competitive attitudes on in-game impulse purchase behaviors, focusing on the mediating role of the need for popularity and the moderating effect of social competence. Data collected from 234 participants via broadcasters on Discord and Twitch platforms was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings confirm that the need for popularity fully mediates the relationship between competitive attitudes and in-game impulse purchases. Moreover, social competence was found to moderate this relationship negatively, indicating that individuals with lower social competence are more influenced by their need for popularity when making in-game impulse purchases. These insights highlight the significant impact of social dynamics and individual psychological traits on consumer behavior in gaming environments. Furthermore, these results emphasize the ethical imperative for game developers to implement protective measures to safeguard consumers from the potential negative effects of in-game impulse purchases.

本研究调查了竞技态度对游戏内冲动购买行为的影响，重点研究了人气需求的中介作用和社交能力的调节作用。研究使用偏最小二乘法结构方程模型（PLS-SEM）分析了通过 Discord 和 Twitch 平台上的主播收集到的 234 名参与者的数据。研究结果证实，对人气的需求完全调节了竞争态度与游戏内冲动购买之间的关系。此外，研究还发现社交能力对这一关系起负向调节作用，表明社交能力较低的个体在进行游戏内冲动性购买时更受其受欢迎程度需求的影响。这些见解凸显了社会动力和个体心理特征对游戏环境中消费者行为的重要影响。此外，这些结果还强调了游戏开发商在道德上必须采取保护措施，保护消费者免受游戏内冲动性购买的潜在负面影响。

Environmental social media influencers (SMIs)—or ‘greenfluencers’—nowadays receive considerable scholarly and public attention. Yet, SMIs' persuasive power compared to institutional sources like environmental nonprofit organizations (ENPOs) on social media remains uninvestigated. We address this gap with a pre-registered between-subjects experiment (N = 269) among 16-to-25-year-olds from Belgium using real SMIs and ENPOs. We find that both sources affect pro-environmental outcomes, but via different mechanisms and among different groups. ENPOs are perceived as more trustworthy, which translates to higher pro-environmental attitudes and behavior intentions. SMIs affect pro-environmental behavior intentions via wishful identification and perceived similarity—yet only among women with higher environmental concern. Both sources stimulate pro-environmental outcomes via perceptions of attainability. Finally, SMIs' effects on pro-environmental outcomes are not fully explained by these source perceptions, which points to the necessity to study additional mechanisms. Overall, our findings illuminate important boundary conditions and mechanisms of newfangled pro-environmental persuasion via social media.

环境社交媒体影响者（SMIs）--或称 "绿色影响者"--如今受到了学术界和公众的广泛关注。然而，与环境非营利组织（ENPOs）等机构来源相比，SMIs 在社交媒体上的说服力仍未得到研究。我们利用真实的 SMI 和 ENPO，对比利时 16-25 岁的青少年进行了一次预先登记的主体间实验（N = 269），以弥补这一空白。我们发现，这两种来源都会影响支持环保的结果，但通过不同的机制和不同的群体。ENPO 被认为更值得信赖，从而转化为更高的亲环境态度和行为意向。SMI 通过一厢情愿的认同和感知到的相似性来影响亲环境行为意向--但这只适用于对环境关注度较高的女性。这两个来源都通过可实现性的感知来刺激亲环境结果。最后，SMIs 对亲环境结果的影响并不能完全通过这些来源感知来解释，这说明有必要对其他机制进行研究。总之，我们的研究结果阐明了通过社交媒体进行新式亲环境劝说的重要边界条件和机制。

Social media offer constant social interactions, but young people do not necessarily benefit from these regarding social connectedness. We investigated whether adolescents with higher digital maturity (Laaber et al., 2023) are better able to use social media to enhance social connectedness, and tested three mechanisms of how, who and why individuals engage with others online. The results of a longitudinal and cross-sectional study with adolescent-parent dyads from three European countries (N_total = 573) showed that with higher digital maturity, adolescents report higher social connectedness. The relation was not explained by higher active use, but engaging with real-life rather than virtual friends online and holding compassionate goals for others mediated the positive relationship between digital maturity and social connectedness. The findings support digital maturity as an important ability when using digital technologies, as it relates to beneficial social interactions, and suggest potential mechanisms to be strengthened to help adolescents experience positive interactions online.

社交媒体提供了持续不断的社交互动，但青少年并不一定能从这些社交互动中获益。我们调查了数字成熟度较高的青少年（Laaber 等人，2023 年）是否能更好地利用社交媒体增强社会联系，并测试了个人如何、由谁以及为何与他人进行在线互动的三种机制。对来自三个欧洲国家的青少年-家长二人组（总人数 = 573）进行的纵向和横向研究结果表明，数字成熟度越高，青少年报告的社会联系度就越高。这种关系并不能用更高的主动使用率来解释，但与现实生活中的朋友而不是虚拟朋友在线交往，以及对他人抱有同情的目标，则是数字成熟度与社会关联度之间正向关系的中介。研究结果支持数字成熟度是使用数字技术时的一项重要能力，因为它关系到有益的社会互动，并建议加强潜在机制，帮助青少年体验积极的网上互动。

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools has become increasingly prevalent within higher education and numerous studies have indicated the efficacy of AI applications within the English as a foreign language (EFL) context. Enhancing student engagement, foreign language enjoyment (FLE), and motivation in the field of AI education are significant in promoting effective learning outcomes. The rise of AI in educational settings has led to a paucity of research exploring its impact on various educational constructs. This quasi-experimental research examined the role of utilizing an AI tool, specifically Duolingo, on the engagement of FLE, and motivation of Chinese EFL learners. The present study involved 383 out of 412 Chinese university EFL students, who were assigned to either the experimental or control group. Both groups participated in pre- and post-intervention assessments prior to and following a 12-session intervention. Running a One-way Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) revealed statistically significant improvements in FLE, engagement, and motivation within the experimental group. On the contrary, the control group demonstrated a minor alteration in the aforementioned variables. AI tools possess the capability to captivate the attention of students and consequently enhance their motivation to actively participate in the educational experience. The results of the study designate that there are significant implications for both teachers and teacher educators concerning the incorporation of AI tools in the EFL classroom environment.

人工智能（AI）工具在高等教育中的使用越来越普遍，许多研究表明，人工智能应用在英语作为外语（EFL）的环境中非常有效。在人工智能教育领域，提高学生的参与度、外语乐趣（FLE）和学习动力对于促进有效的学习成果意义重大。随着人工智能在教育环境中的兴起，探索其对各种教育构建的影响的研究越来越少。本准实验研究探讨了使用人工智能工具（特别是 Duolingo）对中国 EFL 学习者的 FLE 参与度和学习动机的影响。本研究涉及 412 名中国大学 EFL 学生中的 383 人，他们被分配到实验组或对照组。两组学生都参加了为期 12 节课的干预前和干预后评估。通过单向协方差分析（ANCOVA）发现，实验组在FLE、参与度和学习动机方面都有显著改善。相反，对照组在上述变量方面的变化较小。人工智能工具有能力吸引学生的注意力，从而提高他们积极参与教育体验的积极性。研究结果表明，在 EFL 课堂环境中使用人工智能工具对教师和教师教育者都有重要意义。

eSports is enjoyed by many gamers worldwide; however, gaming addiction poses a serious challenge for eSports users and society. This study employs social learning theory (SLT) as an overarching theory to examine how eSports consumption can lead to addiction and identify users who are at higher risk of developing addictive behavior. We employed a face-to-face survey of 230 Brazilian eSports users to develop and test a model of gaming addiction in eSports, which was analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. The findings revealed positive and significant relationships between eSports athlete role model influence and user devotion, user devotion and gaming addiction, and gaming addiction and guilt. Furthermore, the relationship between eSports athletes role model influence and guilt is sequentially mediated by user devotion and gaming addiction, and users with lower (higher) levels of competitiveness are more (less) at risk of addiction. This is the first study to provide a consumer psychology perspective on user behavior that offers novel insights into the interplay between eSports athletes role model influence, user devotion, and competitiveness in driving addictive behavior. Importantly, the findings reveal the significant role of competitiveness in buffering against gaming addiction. Theoretically, our model, underpinned by SLT, demonstrates that the social environment, personal factors, and gaming addiction itself are reciprocally related to each other in determining addictive behavior. This conceptualization implies that interventions targeting one factor impact all other factors as gaming addiction is continually evolving in response to changes in the environment and the user.

电子竞技受到全世界众多玩家的喜爱，然而，游戏成瘾对电子竞技用户和社会都构成了严峻的挑战。本研究采用社会学习理论（SLT）作为总体理论，研究电子竞技消费如何导致成瘾，并识别出哪些用户有更高的成瘾行为风险。我们对 230 名巴西电子竞技用户进行了面对面调查，建立并测试了电子竞技游戏成瘾模型，并使用偏最小二乘法结构方程模型对该模型进行了分析。研究结果显示，电子竞技运动员的榜样影响与用户投入程度、用户投入程度与游戏成瘾、游戏成瘾与内疚感之间存在正向显著关系。此外，电子竞技运动员的榜样影响与内疚感之间的关系依次通过用户投入度和游戏成瘾来中介，竞争力水平较低（较高）的用户更容易（较少）成瘾。这是第一项从消费心理学角度研究用户行为的研究，该研究对电子竞技运动员的榜样影响力、用户投入度和竞争力在驱动成瘾行为方面的相互作用提供了新的见解。重要的是，研究结果揭示了竞争力在缓冲游戏成瘾方面的重要作用。从理论上讲，我们的模型以 SLT 为基础，证明了社会环境、个人因素和游戏成瘾本身在决定成瘾行为时是相互关联的。这一概念意味着，针对某一因素的干预措施会影响所有其他因素，因为游戏成瘾会随着环境和使用者的变化而不断演变。

Encouraging prosocial tendencies toward others' physical appearance is crucial for promoting a positive body image during adolescence. Social media content that highlights positive appearance messages can significantly influence these tendencies. Hence, this three-wave panel study explored the impact of exposure to and the posting of Body Positivity (BoPo) posts and positive appearance comments on social media upon adolescents' offline prosocial behavioral tendencies towards others’ appearances, as mediated by appearance-related prosocial reasoning. Using a sample of adolescents aged 12 to 18 (N = 496, M_age = 15.05, SD = 1.49; 67.9% girls), the hypotheses received partial support. At the between-person level, adolescents who more often viewed BoPo and posted positive appearance comments also reported higher appearance-related prosocial tendencies. Nonetheless, on the within-person level, only more often posting positive appearance comments predicted a change to more appearance-related prosocial reasoning from T2 to T3. Notably, the mediation pathways from exposure to and the posting of BoPo and positive appearance comments to appearance-related prosocial tendencies through prosocial reasoning were not significant. Such findings suggest the presence of more significant sources for appearance-related prosocial tendencies than social media during adolescence. Still, the between-person findings can be valuable for peer-led campaigns that aim to foster a positive body image. Such campaigns could identify adolescents with heightened appearance-related prosocial tendencies who tend to engage with body positivity posts and positive appearance comments on social media.

在青少年时期，鼓励对他人外貌的亲社会倾向对于促进积极的身体形象至关重要。突出正面外貌信息的社交媒体内容能极大地影响这些倾向。因此，这项三波小组研究探讨了社交媒体上身体积极性（BoPo）帖子和积极外貌评论的接触和发布对青少年线下对他人外貌的亲社会行为倾向的影响，以及与外貌相关的亲社会推理的中介作用。通过对 12 至 18 岁青少年（样本数 = 496，年龄 = 15.05，标准差 = 1.49；67.9% 为女生）的抽样调查，假设得到了部分支持。在人与人之间的层面上，更经常观看博报并发表正面外貌评论的青少年也报告了更高的与外貌相关的亲社会倾向。然而，在人内层面上，只有更经常发布正面外貌评论的青少年才会预测到从 T2 到 T3 阶段与外貌相关的亲社会推理的变化。值得注意的是，通过亲社会推理，从接触和张贴 BoPo 和正面外貌评论到与外貌相关的亲社会倾向的中介途径并不显著。这些发现表明，在青少年时期，与外貌相关的亲社会倾向有比社交媒体更重要的来源。尽管如此，人与人之间的研究结果对于旨在培养积极身体形象的同伴引导运动还是很有价值的。此类活动可以识别出那些具有与外貌相关的亲社会倾向的青少年，他们倾向于参与社交媒体上的正面身体形象帖子和正面外貌评论。

The emergence of gig economy has facilitated the adoption of algorithm-based management systems, creating favorable conditions for gig workers. Nevertheless, it also brings various challenges and uncertainties, especially gig workers' safety performance, having become a prominent concern. Based on ego-depletion theory, we investigate the underlying mechanism through which platform algorithmic control influences on safety performance of gig workers. Based on two points of data from 314 gig workers in China, we found that the three dimensions of algorithmic control (viz., standardized guidance, tracking evaluation and behavioral constraint) have differential effects on safety performance. On one hand, algorithmic standardized guidance is negatively related to ego-depletion, which in turn improves safety performance. On the other hand, algorithmic tracking evaluation and behavioral constraint are positively related to ego-depletion, and consequently reducing safety performance. Furthermore, algorithmic transparency moderates the relationship between algorithmic standardized guidance, algorithmic tracking evaluation, and ego-depletion; self-efficacy moderates the relationship between algorithmic standardized guidance and ego-depletion; both trait mindfulness and leadership safety commitment moderate the relationship between ego-depletion and safety performance. This study offers valuable insights for platform enterprises to optimize the effectiveness of algorithmic control.

零工经济的出现促进了基于算法的管理系统的采用，为零工创造了有利条件。然而，它也带来了各种挑战和不确定性，尤其是 "零工 "的安全绩效已成为一个突出问题。基于自我耗竭理论，我们研究了平台算法控制影响 "零工 "安全绩效的内在机制。基于中国314名 "零工 "的两点数据，我们发现算法控制的三个维度（即标准化指导、跟踪评估和行为约束）对 "零工 "的安全绩效具有不同的影响。一方面，算法标准化指导与自我消耗负相关，而自我消耗反过来会提高安全绩效。另一方面，算法跟踪评估和行为约束与自我消耗呈正相关，从而降低了安全绩效。此外，算法透明度调节了算法标准化指导、算法跟踪评价和自我损耗之间的关系；自我效能调节了算法标准化指导和自我损耗之间的关系；特质心智和领导安全承诺都调节了自我损耗和安全绩效之间的关系。这项研究为平台企业优化算法控制的有效性提供了有价值的启示。
