Cyber dating abuse in adolescents: Myths of romantic love, sexting practices and bullying

Ainize Martinez Soto, Cristina Lopez-del Burgo, Aranzazu Albertos, Izaskun Ibabe

Summary: Cyber dating abuse is a growing problem with serious consequences for adolescents. This study examines the relationship between cyber dating abuse and bullying, sexting, and myths of romantic love, and explores the explanatory factors of cyber dating abuse. The findings show that boys are more engaged in bullying, sexting, and assumption of myths of romantic love, while the highly religious group is less engaged in sexting. The study also reveals that cyber dating abuse is associated with sexting and that myths of romantic love have mediational effects. Prevention programs should aim to help adolescents use the Internet safely and identify abusive behavior in both peer relationships and romantic relationships, taking into account the unique aspects of virtual interactions.

Automated multimodal sensemaking: Ontology-based integration of linguistic frames and visual data

Fiorela Ciroku, Stefano De Giorgis, Aldo Gangemi, Delfina S. Martinez-Pandiani, Valentina Presutti

Summary: We propose an explainable automated multimodal sensemaking approach by linking linguistic frames to physical visual occurrences. We analyze the Visual Genome image dataset and introduce the Visual Sense Ontology (VSO) to enhance the multimodal data. We establish a framal knowledge expansion pipeline and create the queryable Visual Sense Knowledge Graph (VSKG) to connect linguistic frames with images. Our work represents a significant advancement in frame evocation and multimodal sensemaking automation.

Research methods anxiety, attitude, self-efficacy and academic effort: A social cognitive theory perspective

Christopher Mensah, Edem M. Azila-Gbettor, Collins R. Nunyonameh, Melody E. Appietu, Sedem N. Amedome

Summary: The integration and mandatory study of research method courses by university students is a global phenomenon. However, students demonstrate apprehension and disinterest in research methods courses. This study investigates the interplay among research methods anxiety, positive disposition toward research, perception of usefulness, self-efficacy, and academic effort in research. The results show that research anxiety reduces students' self-beliefs and perception of research usefulness. On the other hand, a positive disposition towards research enhances students' academic efforts, and self-efficacy drives students' efforts and enhances positive disposition toward research and perception of research usefulness among students. Students' perception of research usefulness mediates the relationship between anxiety and effort in research, positive research disposition and effort, as well as research self-efficacy and effort in studies.

The influence of social comparison on risk decision-making for self and groups in intergroup contexts

Lingchao Sun, Yilin Xiao, Wenxu Mao, Bohan Cao, Huapei Mao, Dawei Wang, Yixin Hu

Summary: The current study examines the influence of social comparison on risk decision-making for self and for groups in intergroup contexts. The findings reveal that individuals are more risk-seeking in upward comparison conditions than in downward comparison conditions in outgroup contexts, but this difference disappears in ingroup contexts. Making decisions for them is riskier than making decisions for me and for us, and this pattern is consistent across intergroup contexts. These findings may support the selective accessibility model and provide an interpretation with responsibility alleviation for self-group differences in risk decision-making.

Does awareness of COVID-19 matter? Investigating the effect of fear of COVID-19 and stress on subjective well-being

Hillman Wirawan, Hasbi Hasbi, Muhammad Ahsan Samad, Novina Sabila Zahra

Summary: This study examines the impact of fear of COVID-19 on subjective well-being by considering the mediating role of perceived stress. It also tests the moderating role of awareness of COVID-19 in the mediation model. The study utilizes a longitudinal correlation design with three-wave data collection. Data is collected through snowballing sampling technique and online advertisements. The findings indicate that fear of COVID-19 has a negative effect on subjective well-being, with perceived stress partially mediating the relationship. Furthermore, awareness of COVID-19 moderates the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and perceived stress, showing that high awareness exacerbates the impact on subjective well-being. This study contributes to the understanding of how fear of COVID-19 affects subjective well-being.
