It has been shown that individuals who are highly socially anxious prefer computer-mediated communication over face-to-face possibly due to the control and social liberation it provides. Yet, little is known about transdiagnostic psychopathology constructs as mediators may help understand this relationship. In present study, our goal was investigate extent which maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies mediate relationship between anxiety, problematic networking (SNS) site...

Abstract Family and peer effects, as well socio-emotional skills, are considered to have an essential role in cyberbullying. Although the dynamics of social factors processes underlying cyberbullying still open for research further understand direct indirect relationships among (e.g., peers family), skills (e.g. emotion regulation) engagement. Thus, aim our study was test models perpetration cybervictimization based on family (cohesion, adaptability communication), support (from friends)...

Social and emotional competences are considered to have a crucial role in cyberbullying as e.g. difficulties concerning emotion regulation empathy can characterize both cyberbullies cybervictims. Although, the dynamics of socio-emotional processes underlying still open for research, there contradicting results cybervictimization. Thus, aim our study was explore specific maladaptive strategies characterizing cybervictims clarify Further, another goal whether moral disengagement characterizes...

Abstract A common brain-related feature of addictions is the altered function higher-order brain networks. Growing evidence suggests that Internet-related are also associated with breakdown functional Taking into consideration limited number studies used in previous Internet addiction (IA), our aim was to investigate correlates IA default mode network (DMN) and inhibitory control (ICN). To observe these relationships, task-related fMRI responses verbal Stroop non-verbal Stroop-like tasks...

COVID-19 triggers anxiety and fear due to several reasons, thus, dealing with it requires prolonged coping mechanisms. When the number of infections soared, slow spread, many governments decided close universities dormitories move teaching online platforms. The majority university students back home their parents changing social lives. Here, we aimed point risk, as well protective factors, understand influence these factors on both physical psychological indicators well-being. Further,...

The goal of the present study was to test effects emotional arousal elicited by faces on visual search performance. In Experiment 1, facial expressions acted as distractors presented throughout task. 2, were only before We found that level can better describe their performance compared discrete categories. Exp1, with higher ratings more distracting, possibly because active inhibition is necessary solve However, in Exp2, levels resulted performance, they activate system, initiating readiness...

Previous research warned that internet and social media use could have a negative effect on the lives of excessive users. Based compensation hypothesis, however, factors related to fears lead problematic networking site (SNS) because individuals try compensate for their offline popularity. It was shown with higher levels tend prefer computer-mediated (CMC) instead face (FTF) communication. Here, we aimed create model shows direct indirect effects anxiety self-esteem SNS use.

Impaired social functioning is a well-known outcome of individuals with agenesis the corpus callosum. Social deficits in nonliteral language comprehension, humor, reasoning, and recognition facial expression have all been documented adults In present study, we examined emotional mentalizing that contributing to social-cognitive development children isolated callosum agenesia, including emotion recognition, theory mind, executive function, working memory, behavioral impairments as assessed by...

Background and aims Internet addiction is a non-substance-related disorder with progressively growing prevalence. addiction, like substance-related addictions, has been linked high impulsivity, low inhibitory control, poor decision-making abilities. Cortical thickness measurements trait impulsivity have shown to distinct relationship in addicts compared healthy controls. Thus, we test whether the cortical correlates of are different controls, using an impulsive control group (smokers)....

Abstract The widely used rubber hand illusion (RHI) paradigm provides insight into how the brain manages conflicting multisensory information regarding bodily self-consciousness. Previous functional neuroimaging studies have revealed that feeling of body ownership is linked to activity in premotor cortex, intraparietal areas, occipitotemporal and insula. current study investigated whether individual differences sensation over a hand, as measured by subjective report proprioceptive drift, are...

Abstract Although fear plays a vital role in survival, an overly active threat detection system could be maladaptive due to its negative health consequences. Putatively emotion regulation (ER) strategies are core problem phobias. In contrast, adaptive ER help downregulate the elicited by threatening stimulus and decrease anxiety. Yet, number of studies directly examining pattern linked various phobias is still scarce. Thus, this study sought map patterns three most common (social, animal,...

People seem to differ in their visual search performance involving emotionally expressive faces when these expressions are seen on of others close age (peers) compared non-peers, known as the own-age bias (OAB). This study sought compare advantages angry and happy detected adults children a pool (N = 77, mean 5.57) 68, 21.48). The goals this were (1) examine developmental trajectory expression recognition (2) development an OAB. Participants asked find target face displaying emotional among...

Abstract Having good digital skills is essential today, yet little known about the cognitive factors that influence development of these skills. Given importance executive functions (EFs) in adapting to environmental changes and acquiring skills, EFs might contribute too. also people’s approach toward ICTs affect through emotional variables. Therefore, here, we tested whether control flexibility are connected computer smartphone (learning confidence, stress, attitude). A total 269...

Background and aims Structural differences in higher-order brain areas are common features of behavioral addictions, including Internet addiction (IA) as well. Taking into consideration the limited number studies methods used previous on IA, our aim was to investigate correlates IA morphometry frontal lobes. Methods To observe these relationships, high-resolution T1-weighted MR images 144 healthy, Caucasian, university students were analyzed with volumetry voxel-based morphometry. The...

Interactive features and multimedia elements in electronic storybooks might enhance knowledge acquisition children due to the playful learning experience they provide. However, date, there is no systematic research on long-term efficacy of storybooks, individual cognitive factors that influence information processing when using these apps. Therefore, Experiment 1, we focused improvements. Children (M = 5.55 years, SD 0.51, N 33) were divided into an App group (N 16) a Print Book 17), then...

Executive functions (EF) and sensorimotor skills play a critical role in children's goal-directed behavior school readiness. The aim of the current study is to provide new insights into relationship between executive development by considering risks associated with learning difficulties. Therefore, we investigate predictive EF difficulties during preschool years. Ninety-five children (5-7 years old) were tested, comparing performance that are at risk (n = 55) typically developing 40)....
