Summary: Pair-matching in randomized controlled trials has gained attention in various fields and has been shown to have more advantages compared to simple RCTs. This review highlights that RCTs cannot be treated as a single evaluation design, and the advantages of pair-matching hold for different units of allocation. Moreover, pair-matching can be used with small samples in cluster-based trials without compromising statistical power or degrees of freedom. However, its applicability may vary in different types of RCTs. The implications for evaluation research and public policy are discussed.

Summary: This study proposes an automatic lecture video editing pipeline based on individual attention patterns, aiming to address the setbacks in producing effective educational videos. The results show that attention-based automatic editing can significantly reduce editing time while maintaining similar video characteristics to professionally edited versions, and have the potential to decrease the cognitive load of learners.

Summary: The prevalence of gaming disorder varies greatly between countries, with higher rates in Asian and Middle Eastern nations and lower rates in South and Central American countries. Several factors, including age, gender, parenthood, and education, are correlated with gaming disorder.

Summary: In two experiments focused on trust dynamics in human-robot interaction, the interplay between attribute-based characteristics (such as anthropomorphism and type of failure) of robots and trust attitude, perceived reliability, and trust behavior was explored. Findings showed that participants trusted technical robots more than anthropomorphic ones, and failures in information acquisition/processing led to more trust dissolution than failures in action implementation. However, there was no evidence of behavioral adaptation following failure experiences.

Summary: Virtual reality cinemas can provide a similar experience to physical movie watching, enhancing viewers' understanding and engagement with the characters' emotions. However, social viewing may not be suitable for all viewers. Previous experience with virtual reality can impact viewers' comfort levels during the screening, but early adopters and supporters of the technology are more likely to have an enjoyable and engaging film experience.

Summary: This study uses social ecology theory to compare marriages between couples who met through online dating and those who met offline. The findings suggest that online daters may have less satisfying and stable marriages, possibly due to societal marginalization and geographic distance pressures.

Summary: Virtual reality has the potential to extend human capabilities beyond reality, but it is unclear whether users perceive augmentation-oriented designs as augmenting and whether the experience is beneficial. Two consecutive experimental vignette studies were conducted to compare reality-oriented designs and augmentation-oriented designs. The findings show that augmentation-oriented designs create a more intensive augmentation experience, which is positively related to positive affect, need fulfillment, usage intention, and hedonic quality. Additionally, a new measure for assessing the subjective experience of augmentation was successfully established.

Summary: In this study, the effects of interventions by adaptive automation systems designed to prevent mind-wandering while driving were predicted. It was found that a simple secondary task can improve driving performance, but if the driving task is simple, people may start mind-wandering, which interferes with driving. The study showed that interventions eliciting mild cognitive load can mitigate the negative effects of mind-wandering on driving performance.

Summary: Self-disclosure on social networking sites has been found to affect people's cooperative behavior. High levels of self-disclosure lead to increased cooperation and the inclusion of image information can moderate this effect.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between smartphone addiction, depression, and internalized/externalized aggression. The findings suggest a close association between smartphone addiction and internalized/externalized aggression. Depression has an indirect effect on the relationship between smartphone addiction and internalized aggression.

Summary: This study explores how parents' algorithm awareness of TikTok's algorithm relates to perceived online risks and opportunities as well as parental mediation strategies. The study found that higher algorithm awareness was associated with more negative attitudes and a higher likelihood of prohibiting teenagers from using TikTok.

Summary: This study examines the impact of cyberbullying on suicide ideation among Malaysian youth. The findings reveal that victims of cyberbullying are at a higher risk of suicide ideation. Anxiety, exhaustion, and stress mediate the relationship between cyberbullying and depression, while depression significantly mediates the relationship between cyberbullying and suicide ideation. This highlights the need for cyberbullying prevention programs to educate youth about the consequences of cyberbullying.

Summary: The design of artificial intelligence and robotics typically assumes that adding more humanlike features can enhance the user experience, but this is often met with suspicion due to uncanny effects. This study brings together three theories - Media Equation, Uncanny Valley theory, and the Singularity - and empirically tests them for the first time. The results show that human-likeness is not determined by appearance or behavior, but by the attributed qualities of being alive. This challenges the previous theories and suggests a focus on machines that function adequately.

Summary: Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects millions of people worldwide, and its incidence is expected to rise due to the aging of the global population. Exploring new technological interventions, such as social assistive robots, is important for supporting individuals with Parkinson's disease. This study aimed to understand the needs, expectations, and attitudes of individuals with Parkinson's disease and their family members toward social assistive robots.

Summary: This study examines the impact of smartphone usage behaviors on well-being through objective measurements and self-report surveys. The results show that individuals who use their smartphones more tend to have slightly lower well-being, but there is no evidence of within-person effects of total usage time. There is also no robust association between fragmentation of smartphone usage and well-being.
