As technology continues to reshape industries, understanding the effects of technostress on employee well-being becomes imperative. While research on technostress has grown substantially in recent years, existing studies are often fragmented in scope and limited in cross-contextual depth. In this systematic review, we synthesized the findings of 201 (after the double screening) peer-reviewed empirical studies, primarily retrieved from the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, to map technostress along the four analytical dimensions: its core components, its impact on well-being, key mediating and moderating variables, and contextual variations. Our findings demonstrated that the relationship between technostress and employee well-being has been most frequently studied in Germany, Italy, and India, with education and healthcare emerging as the most commonly examined sectors. Furthermore, techno-overload and techno-invasion were the most reported technostressors linked to adverse well-being indicators across the studies. Our analysis revealed an underrepresentation of cross-national and cross-cultural comparisons in the existing literature. Drawing on these insights, this review advances the literature by introducing the Demands-Resources-Individual Effects (DRIVE) model as a coherent integrative framework for studying technostress and well-being. The model provides a theoretically grounded explanation of how digital demands, personal resources, and individual differences interact to shape well-being outcomes. Combined with the Well-being Process Questionnaire (WPQ), it also offers a practical, validated approach for assessing these mechanisms in diverse organizational contexts.

随着技术不断重塑行业，了解技术压力对员工幸福感的影响变得势在必行。虽然近年来对技术压力的研究有了很大的发展，但现有的研究往往在范围上是碎片化的，在跨背景的深度上是有限的。在这篇系统综述中，我们综合了201篇（经过双重筛选）同行评议的实证研究的结果，这些研究主要来自PubMed、Scopus和Web of Science数据库，以绘制技术压力在四个分析维度上的图：技术压力的核心成分、对幸福感的影响、关键的中介和调节变量以及环境变化。我们的研究结果表明，技术压力与员工幸福感之间的关系在德国、意大利和印度得到了最频繁的研究，其中教育和医疗保健成为最常见的研究领域。此外，在所有研究中，技术超载和技术入侵是与不良健康指标相关的最常见的技术压力因素。我们的分析显示，在现有文献中，跨国和跨文化比较的代表性不足。基于这些见解，本综述通过引入需求-资源-个体效应（DRIVE）模型作为研究技术压力和幸福感的连贯综合框架来推进文献。该模型从理论上解释了数字需求、个人资源和个体差异如何相互作用，从而形成幸福结果。结合幸福感过程问卷（WPQ），它也提供了一个实用的，有效的方法来评估这些机制在不同的组织环境。

This study aims to explore the psychological mechanisms that influence brand loyalty behavior in the online food delivery (OFD) sector, with a focus on the roles of brand satisfaction and brand image in shaping brand loyalty. Based on the Stimulus–Organism–Response (S–O–R) framework, the research analyzes how factors such as e-service quality and perceived food quality affect internal psychological responses, thereby leading to brand loyalty. Data was collected in a single phase, with a total of 335 OFD users in Vietnam who had used the service within the past three months. The structural equation modeling (SEM) method was used to test the research hypotheses. The results show that both e-service quality and perceived food quality significantly enhance brand satisfaction and brand image, which subsequently strengthen brand loyalty. Practically, the study provides insights for OFD platforms to improve operational performance, ensure consistent food quality, and build a trustworthy and distinctive brand image. Theoretically, the research applies and empirically supports the S–O–R framework to digital service contexts in developing economies, highlighting the influence of perceptual and psychological factors on non-contact brand loyalty behavior.

Implementing user experience (UX) methodologies within government settings is both possible and powerful – but fraught with systemic and cultural complexities. This report presents insights from the redesign of a government intranet for a prominent Australian emergency services organisation, using a human-centred design approach grounded in the Double Diamond framework. The research reveals a series of challenges: bureaucracy, opinion bias, overwhelming content volume with minimal organisational value, a governance paradox where design rules are desired but selectively applied, a disconnect in engagement from key stakeholders, and the impact of a design by committee approach. While these challenges were significant, they did not hinder progress; rather, they paved the way for valuable opportunities for UX practitioners. The study demonstrated UX methods can be used to enhance organisational self-awareness, governance can be restructured to support – not hinder – usability, and sustained stakeholder engagement can be achievable with the right methods and framing. The findings also highlight a broader lesson: although government environments often present greater resistance to change, user experience practices can serve as powerful catalysts when thoughtfully aligned with institutional constraints.

在政府环境中实施用户体验（UX）方法既是可能的，也是强大的，但却充满了系统和文化的复杂性。本报告介绍了澳大利亚一个著名的紧急服务组织的政府内部网的重新设计的见解，使用基于双钻石框架的以人为本的设计方法。该研究揭示了一系列挑战：官僚主义、意见偏见、组织价值最小的压倒性内容量、设计规则被期望但有选择地应用的治理悖论、关键利益相关者的参与脱节，以及委员会方法的设计影响。虽然这些挑战是重大的，但它们并没有阻碍进展；相反，它们为用户体验从业者提供了宝贵的机会。该研究表明，用户体验方法可以用来增强组织的自我意识，治理可以重构以支持（而不是阻碍）可用性，并且通过正确的方法和框架可以实现持续的利益相关者参与。研究结果还强调了一个更广泛的教训：尽管政府环境往往对变革存在更大的阻力，但如果用户体验实践与制度约束相结合，就可以成为强大的催化剂。

This study explored how final-year psychology students experienced their initial exposure to virtual reality (VR) relaxation using a scientifically developed application designed to promote emotional well-being and stress reduction. The aim was to understand how VR is perceived as a space for emotional regulation, embodiment, and reflection within psychological education. A qualitative exploratory design with a focus group approach was employed. Six final-year psychology students from the Universidad Austral de Chile individually tested VRelax for approximately 10 min before participating in a focus group session lasting 90 min. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis, emphasizing lived experience, sensory engagement, and meaning-making processes. The analysis generated seven overarching themes: curiosity and immersion, usability and learning, disconnection and reorientation, therapeutic potential, bodily and sensory awareness, expectations versus reality, and cultural and contextual reflections. Participants described VR as both calming and thought-provoking, highlighting its potential for emotional regulation and reflective learning while noting challenges related to adaptation, novelty, and environmental context. Overall, VR was perceived as an innovative and pedagogically meaningful tool with potential applications in stress management, emotional self-regulation, and professional development. The findings emphasize the importance of usability, contextual sensitivity, and reflexivity in designing VR interventions that foster well-being and presence, as well as the need for cultural and institutional adaptation to ensure that VR-based relaxation tools are not only technologically effective but also culturally resonant and ethically grounded within Latin American contexts.

这项研究探索了心理学专业的高年级学生是如何通过一款科学开发的应用程序体验虚拟现实（VR）放松的，该应用程序旨在促进情绪健康和减轻压力。目的是了解VR如何被视为心理教育中情感调节、体现和反思的空间。采用焦点小组法的定性探索性设计。来自智利南方大学的六名应届心理学学生分别对VRelax进行了大约10分钟的测试，然后参加了一个持续90分钟的焦点小组会议。数据分析采用反身性主题分析，强调生活经验、感官参与和意义形成过程。分析产生了七个主要主题：好奇心和沉浸感、可用性和学习、断开连接和重新定位、治疗潜力、身体和感官意识、期望与现实、文化和背景反思。参与者将虚拟现实描述为既平静又发人深省，强调了其情绪调节和反思性学习的潜力，同时指出了与适应、新奇和环境背景相关的挑战。总体而言，虚拟现实被认为是一种创新的、有教学意义的工具，在压力管理、情绪自我调节和专业发展方面具有潜在的应用前景。研究结果强调了可用性、情境敏感性和反身性在设计VR干预措施以促进幸福感和存在感方面的重要性，以及文化和制度适应的必要性，以确保基于VR的放松工具不仅在技术上有效，而且在拉丁美洲背景下具有文化共鸣和道德基础。

Balancing the double-edged sword of artificial Intelligence: Job demands, resources, and Work–Life balance 平衡人工智能的双刃剑：工作需求、资源和工作与生活的平衡

Drawing on the Job Demands–Resources (JD–R) framework, this study develops and tests a model in which employee-AI collaboration and AI awareness jointly influence work engagement and work–life balance (WLB). Using survey data from 280 professionals working in AI-enabled workplaces, we examine mediation and moderation effects through PLS-SEM and identify key conditions necessary for specific outcomes using Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA).

The results show that Employee–AI collaboration positively predicts both work engagement and WLB, with work engagement partially mediating this relationship. AI awareness is negatively related to engagement, yet it positively moderates the AI collaboration–engagement link, indicating that collaboration can transform perceived technological threat into a motivational trigger. These findings advance JD–R theory by demonstrating how digital demands may shift from hindrance to challenge under resource-rich conditions and by positioning AI as a double-edged element of work design. The study contributes to research on digital transformation by clarifying the mechanisms through which human–AI interaction influences employee well-being beyond performance outcomes.

利用工作需求-资源（JD-R）框架，本研究开发并测试了一个模型，其中员工-人工智能协作和人工智能意识共同影响工作投入和工作-生活平衡（WLB）。利用来自280名在人工智能工作场所工作的专业人士的调查数据，我们通过PLS-SEM检查了中介和调节效应，并使用必要条件分析（NCA）确定了特定结果所需的关键条件。结果表明，员工-人工智能协作对工作敬业度和工作负载都有正向预测作用，工作敬业度在其中起部分中介作用。人工智能意识与参与负相关，但它积极调节人工智能合作与参与的联系，表明合作可以将感知到的技术威胁转化为动机触发器。这些发现通过展示数字需求如何在资源丰富的条件下从障碍转变为挑战，以及将人工智能定位为工作设计的双刃剑元素，推进了JD-R理论。该研究通过阐明人机交互影响员工幸福感的机制，为数字化转型的研究做出了贡献。

Objective

This study examined whether specific sleep disturbances, such as very poor subjective sleep quality, deliberate sleep reduction for internet use, shorter sleep duration, and daytime napping, predict compulsive internet use among Moroccan high school students beyond overall screen time and media use patterns.

Method

A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 334 adolescents (48 % male; ages 14–18) in Casablanca. Compulsive internet use was assessed using the Compulsive Internet Use Scale (CIUS). Sleep-related variables were measured via four dichotomous items. Latent class analyses summarized weekly screen time and media type engagement into covariates. Multiple linear regression and Bayesian model averaging were used to test associations while controlling for age, sex, and media use classes.

Results

Adolescents who reported very poor sleep or deliberately reducing sleep for internet use had significantly higher CIUS scores. Sleeping more than 6 hours provided modest protection in frequentist models, though Bayesian evidence was weak. Daytime napping was not reliably associated with CIUS. Sleep variables remained associated with CIUS scores even after adjusting for age, sex, and latent classes of media use. Female adolescents reported higher CIUS scores than males.

Conclusion

The findings suggest that specific sleep disruptions, rather than overall screen time, are associated with compulsive internet use among adolescents. This study adds cross-cultural data and indicates that enhancing sleep quality may be one potential target, among others, for efforts aiming to reduce problematic digital behaviors in youth.

目的：本研究调查了特定的睡眠障碍，如非常差的主观睡眠质量、故意减少上网时间、较短的睡眠时间和白天午睡，是否可以预测摩洛哥高中生在屏幕时间和媒体使用模式之外的强迫性上网行为。方法对卡萨布兰卡市334名青少年进行横断面调查，其中男性占48%，年龄14-18岁。强迫性网络使用使用强迫性网络使用量表（CIUS）进行评估。睡眠相关的变量通过四个二分项目进行测量。潜在类分析将每周屏幕时间和媒体类型参与总结为协变量。在控制年龄、性别和媒体使用类别的情况下，使用多元线性回归和贝叶斯模型平均来检验相关性。结果报告睡眠非常差或故意减少睡眠以上网的青少年的CIUS得分明显较高。在频率模型中，睡眠超过6小时提供了适度的保护，尽管贝叶斯证据很弱。日间午睡与CIUS的关系并不可靠。即使在调整了年龄、性别和潜在的媒体使用类别后，睡眠变量仍然与CIUS评分相关。女性青少年报告的CIUS得分高于男性。研究结果表明，与青少年强迫性上网有关的是特定的睡眠中断，而不是整体的屏幕时间。这项研究增加了跨文化数据，表明提高睡眠质量可能是一个潜在的目标，其中包括旨在减少青少年有问题的数字行为的努力。

Personality assessment through situational judgment tests (SJTs) offers unique advantages over traditional Likert-type self-report scales, yet their development remains labor-intensive, time-consuming, and heavily dependent on subject matter experts. Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have shown promise for automatic item generation (AIG). Building on these developments, the present study focuses on developing and evaluating a structured and generalizable framework for automatically generating personality SJTs, using GPT-4 and ChatGPT-5 as empirical examples. Three studies were conducted. Study 1 systematically compared the effects of prompt design and temperature settings on the content validity of LLM-generated items to develop an effective and stable LLM-based AIG approach for personality SJT. Results showed that optimized prompts and a temperature of 1.0 achieved the best balance of creativity and accuracy on GPT-4. Study 2 examined the cross-model generalizability and reproducibility of this automated SJT generation approach through multiple rounds. The results showed that the approach consistently produced reproducible and high-quality items on ChatGPT-5. Study 3 evaluated the psychometric properties of LLM-generated SJTs covering five facets of the Big Five personality traits. Results demonstrated satisfactory reliability and validity across most facets, though limitations were observed in the convergent validity of the compliance facet and certain aspects of criterion-related validity. These findings provide robust evidence that the proposed LLM-based AIG approach can produce culturally appropriate and psychometrically sound SJTs with efficiency comparable to or exceeding traditional methods. Beyond reducing expert dependency and development time and cost, this approach demonstrates how LLM-based methodologies can meaningfully expand AIG of SJTs and streamline test development processes in resource-limited contexts.

通过情景判断测试（sjt）进行的人格评估比传统的李克特自我报告量表具有独特的优势，但它们的开发仍然是劳动密集型的，耗时的，并且严重依赖于主题专家。大型语言模型（llm）的最新进展显示了自动项目生成（AIG）的前景。在这些发展的基础上，本研究以GPT-4和ChatGPT-5为例，重点开发和评估一个结构化的、可推广的框架，用于自动生成人格sjt。进行了三项研究。研究1系统地比较了提示设计和温度设置对llm生成项目内容效度的影响，以开发一种有效且稳定的基于llm的人格SJT AIG方法。结果表明，优化后的提示和1.0的温度在GPT-4上达到了创造力和准确性的最佳平衡。研究2通过多轮检验了这种自动化SJT生成方法的跨模型通用性和可重复性。结果表明，该方法在ChatGPT-5上始终产生可重复的高质量项目。研究3评估了法学硕士生成的sjt的心理测量特性，涵盖了五大人格特征的五个方面。结果在大多数方面显示了令人满意的信度和效度，尽管在依从性方面的收敛效度和标准相关效度的某些方面观察到局限性。这些发现提供了强有力的证据，表明提出的基于法学硕士的AIG方法可以产生文化上合适的、心理测量学上合理的sjt，其效率与传统方法相当或超过传统方法。除了减少对专家的依赖、减少开发时间和成本之外，该方法还演示了基于llm的方法如何在资源有限的环境中有意地扩展sjt的AIG并简化测试开发过程。

Three studies were conducted. Study 1 systematically compared the effects of prompt design and temperature settings on the content validity of LLM-generated items to develop an effective and stable LLM-based AIG approach for personality SJT. Results showed that optimized prompts and a temperature of 1.0 achieved the best balance of creativity and accuracy on GPT-4.

The results showed that the approach consistently produced reproducible and high-quality items on ChatGPT-5.

Results demonstrated satisfactory reliability and validity across most facets, though limitations were observed in the convergent validity of the compliance facet and certain aspects of criterion-related validity.

There are concerns about social media's potential impact on mental health and life satisfaction, but research results are mixed, focusing mainly on negative aspects and usage frequency. This study explores how different perceptions, actions, and motivations of social media use relate to Norwegian students' mental health and life satisfaction. The study included 47,163 full-time students aged 18–28 from the Norwegian Students' Health and Well-being Study (SHoT) in 2022. Mental health problems and life satisfaction were assessed through the Hopkins Symptoms Checklist (HSCL-25) and the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). Using Bayesian regression models, we investigated how ten statements about social media use were rated depending on mental health status, stratified by sex, and adjusted for age and parental education. Females reported significantly higher levels of mental health problems, lower life satisfaction, and higher agreement with most social media statements than males. However, the relationship between social media aspects and mental health was similar for both sexes, and age and parental education did not alter the results substantially. Notably, using social media as distraction from negative feelings was more prevalent among students with higher mental health problems and lower life satisfaction, whereas perceptions of positive attention on social media were lower. Some aspects, like fear of missing out, did not vary significantly across mental health status. These findings suggest a complex interplay between social media and mental health, with some behaviors potentially serving as forms of coping. This points to the importance of recognizing these complexities in future research and interventions.

有人担心社交媒体对心理健康和生活满意度的潜在影响，但研究结果好坏参半，主要集中在负面方面和使用频率上。本研究探讨了社交媒体使用的不同观念、行为和动机与挪威学生的心理健康和生活满意度之间的关系。这项研究包括47163名18-28岁的全日制学生，他们来自2022年的挪威学生健康与福祉研究（SHoT）。通过霍普金斯症状检查表（HSCL-25）和生活满意度量表（SWLS）评估心理健康问题和生活满意度。使用贝叶斯回归模型，我们调查了关于社交媒体使用的十种陈述是如何根据心理健康状况、性别分层、年龄和父母教育程度进行评级的。女性报告的心理健康问题水平明显高于男性，生活满意度较低，对大多数社交媒体言论的认同程度高于男性。然而，社交媒体方面与心理健康之间的关系在两性中都是相似的，年龄和父母的教育程度并没有实质性地改变结果。值得注意的是，在心理健康问题较高、生活满意度较低的学生中，使用社交媒体分散负面情绪的现象更为普遍，而对社交媒体的积极关注的看法则较低。有些方面，比如对错过的恐惧，在不同的心理健康状况下没有显著差异。这些发现表明，社交媒体和心理健康之间存在复杂的相互作用，一些行为可能成为应对的形式。这表明在未来的研究和干预中认识到这些复杂性的重要性。

The online body positivity movement focuses on representing and supporting those with marginalized bodies, particularly fat women and women of color. Despite the popularity of body-positive posts on Instagram, no research has examined how the race and body size of women featured in the posts affects users’ reactions. Across four experiments (total n = 2113), young women (aged 18–30) in the U.S. were randomly assigned to rate a body positivity Instagram post featuring either a Black or White model who was either fat or thin. Study 1 indicated participants preferred body positivity posts featuring women with marginalized bodies (i.e., Black and/or fat). We replicated these findings with a new sample (Study 2), a new set of images (Study 3), and with a sample of Black and White women to examine the effects of participant race on reactions to the posts (Study 4). Results suggested that in the context of body positivity posts, women preferred posts featuring women with marginalized bodies over posts featuring thin, White women. Despite the proliferation of anti-Black and anti-fat attitudes in online spaces, these studies suggest women prefer to see body positivity posts that center women with marginalized bodies.

在线身体积极运动的重点是代表和支持那些身体被边缘化的人，尤其是肥胖女性和有色人种女性。尽管Instagram上关于身材的帖子很受欢迎，但没有研究调查过照片中女性的种族和身材如何影响用户的反应。在四项实验中（总n = 2113），美国的年轻女性（18-30岁）被随机分配给Instagram上的一篇身材积极的帖子打分，帖子上的黑人或白人模特要么胖，要么瘦。研究1表明，参与者更喜欢那些身体被边缘化的女性（即黑人和/或肥胖）的身体正面帖子。我们用一个新的样本（研究2），一组新的图像（研究3），以及一个黑人和白人女性的样本来检验参与者种族对帖子反应的影响（研究4）来重复这些发现。结果表明，在身体正面的帖子中，女性更喜欢那些身体被边缘化的女性，而不是那些苗条的白人女性。尽管反黑人和反肥胖的态度在网络空间中扩散，但这些研究表明，女性更喜欢看到以身体被边缘化的女性为中心的身体正面帖子。
