Summary: This study explores the relationship between mimicry, person-perception, and social anxiety levels by having participants interact with virtual humans. The results show that participants, regardless of anxiety levels, mimic the virtual humans' smiles, which is associated with increased liking and trust towards the virtual humans.

Summary: Research examines the connection between body dissatisfaction in children, upward comparisons via social media, and the protective role of trust in parents. Results indicate that higher levels of upward comparison are associated with higher levels of body dissatisfaction, compensatory exercise, and loss of control eating. Trust in fathers moderates the association between appearance comparison and body dissatisfaction, while no evidence of the protective role of trust in mothers was found. Further research is needed to enhance our understanding of body dissatisfaction in children and environmental factors that may protect them from the negative effects of social media.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of mental workload on the causal influence brain regions exert over each other during multitasking. The results showed that with increased workload, causal connections shifted from the left to both sides of the brain, and the connectivity strengths could predict subtask performances. By studying the brain dynamics of mental workload, a predictor that supplements subjective self-report measures can be developed.

Summary: This study conducted interviews with figure skating coaches to explore their perception of using IMU data in training. The findings indicate that coaches play a crucial role as gatekeepers in sharing and interpreting data, considering individual athletes' needs and being cautious when sharing data with parents.

Summary: This study investigates the associations between four dyads of social relationships and adolescent Internet addiction, as well as the roles of life satisfaction and life meaning as potential mediators and moderators in these associations. The findings show that father-child relationship is negatively associated with internet addiction, and life satisfaction and life meaning mediate and moderate the association between father-child relationship and internet addiction.

Summary: This study found that gaming time partially mediated the relationship between stress and problematic game use. The number and types of non-digital hobbies did not universally moderate these relationships, but showed sex-specific patterns. Active hobbies, such as exercise, moderated the relationship between stress and problematic game use in men, while passive hobbies, such as art, had the same effect in women. These findings suggest the importance of tailored intervention strategies based on individual characteristics, including gender.

Summary: In today's world, crowdsourcing initiatives have gained wide adoption. However, sporadic use alone is not enough for success in crowdsourcing initiatives, as active user engagement is crucial. To address this, an 18-card deck was created to provide designers with domain-specific insights on boosting user engagement. Through collaborative online design workshops, valuable information was provided, leading to contributions in design research and practices in crowdsourcing initiatives, particularly in user engagement.

Summary: With increasing automation, drivers' roles transition from active operators to passive system supervisors, affecting their behaviour and cognitive processes. This study investigates attentional resource allocation and subjective cognitive load during different levels of driving automation. The findings suggest that during automated driving, drivers allocate fewer attentional resources to processing environmental information, highlighting the importance of managing drivers' attention and cognitive load for enhancing automation safety and user interface design.

Summary: This study applies expectancy-value theory to examine how gaming frustration, gamers' need for achievement, and the expectation of gaming advancement jointly shape in-game achievement satisfaction and increase actual game usage. The evaluation of success probability is found to prominently determine gamers' expected value, enhancing their continued use and gameplay. The study suggests that game makers should design challenging in-game tasks that elicit hope for future achievements to keep users engaged.

Summary: Early adolescent smartphone dependence is a significant social and public health issue. This study found a longitudinal association between cumulative ecological risk and early adolescent smartphone dependence, with social anxiety and self-compassion serving as parallel mediators. Gender differences were also found in this mediation model.

Summary: This study redefines the buyer-seller relationship in live streaming commerce as parasocial guanxi, consisting of emotional attachment, trust, and reciprocal value. The effects of parasocial guanxi on consumer dissatisfaction and complaint intention in service failure situations were investigated. The findings suggest that parasocial guanxi acts as a buffer, mitigating dissatisfaction and complaint intention, but it may also increase the likelihood of consumer complaints. Furthermore, the buffering effect weakens as consumers make more frequent purchases.

Summary: Based on recent technological advances, campaigners and political actors can use psychographic-based political marketing. However, there is limited empirical evidence regarding its effectiveness. A pre-registered experiment investigated the persuasion effects of personality-congruent political microtargeting on citizens' attitude toward political party and voting intentions, and found significant congruence effects when using self-report measure of personality.
