Summary: Drawing on the theory of affordance, this study explores the impact of affordance actualization on user experience in metaverse games. Through mixed methods analysis, relevant affordances are identified and a theoretical framework for affordance actualization is proposed. The study finds that players can perceive affective affordances through a process of immersion and selection of affordances. The research provides theoretical and practical implications for academics and practitioners working in the context of the extended environment, and contributes to understanding how users shape the metaverse through actualizing affordances.

Summary: Statistical network models for multivariate dependency structures in psychological data are gaining popularity, but there is little guidance on reporting standards for these techniques. This lack of reporting standards may lead to questionable reporting practices and a lack of transparency. In this article, the authors introduce reporting standards for network analyses in cross-sectional data and provide a tutorial and examples. These guidelines are aimed at researchers, reviewers, and journal editors to improve the reporting and transparency of network analyses.

Summary: This paper explores the correlation between street-level factors and neighborhood-level factors in relation to walkability by using computer vision techniques to analyze street view images in Atlanta, Georgia. The results suggest that street-level factors can significantly impact walking mode choices and may serve as proxies for macroscale factors, providing a different perspective on pedestrian experiences.

Summary: The article discusses the value of signal detection theory (SDT) in identifying fake news, focusing on the ability of people to accurately distinguish between real and fake news, as well as their response biases towards news regardless of its veracity. Reanalyses of existing data sets illustrate the value of SDT in understanding the determinants of fake-news beliefs, providing more nuanced insights into how partisan bias, cognitive reflection, and prior exposure influence the identification of fake news. The implications of SDT for using source-related information in identifying fake news, interventions to improve people's skills in detecting fake news, and debunking misinformation are also discussed.

Summary: Using instant messaging interviews in youth research has the potential to empower young people to participate more easily, express themselves freely, and have greater control over the interview. This method can invert the power relation between researchers and participants, allowing young people's voices to be heard more clearly. Additionally, it provides rich insights into the world of young people through multimedia.

Summary: This article examines the debates surrounding the benefits of self-esteem and reviews the research on its effects across various life domains. The findings indicate that self-esteem is beneficial in areas such as relationships, school, work, mental health, physical health, and antisocial behavior. These benefits are consistent across age, gender, and race/ethnicity, and controlling for confounding factors. The effect sizes of self-esteem are comparable to other causal factors and larger than some pharmaceutical interventions.

Summary: LGBT populations experience health disparities, which are theorized to result from specific minority stressors. The Minority Stress Model, published over 15 years ago, categorizes these stressors into external conditions and events, as well as internal psychological stressors. Research suggests that connection to sexual and gender minority communities can mitigate the effects of minority stress.
