The psychophysiology of Instagram – Brief bouts of Instagram use elicit appetitive arousal and attentional immersion followed by aversive arousal when use is stopped
Checking social networking site (SNS) accounts periodically has become a quintessential daily habit for billions of people. The present study tracked the psychophysiological impact of brief periods of SNS use and subsequent use cessation, designed to mimic natural usage patterns. It specifically aimed to identify markers of problematic/compulsive use during these periods in 54 Instagram users varying in problematic SNS behaviors. Heart rate, galv…
The effects of spatial stability and cue type on spatial learning
Some theories of spatial learning predict that associative rules apply under only limited circumstances. For example, learning based on a boundary has been claimed to be immune to cue competition effects because boundary information is the basis for the formation of a cognitive map, whilst landmark learning does not involve cognitive mapping. This is referred to as the cue type hypothesis. However, it has also been claimed that cue stability is a…
The Predictive Utility of Reward-Based Motives Underlying Excessive and Problematic Social Networking Site Use
Compulsive seeking of reward is a hallmark feature of drug addiction, but the role of reward is less well understood in behavioural addictions. The present study investigated the predictive utility of ten reward-based motives, which we identified in the literature, in explaining excessive and problematic use of social networking sites (SNSs). These motives were examined in a cross-sectional survey of 411 young adults, revealing that prolonged use…
Identification Facilitation for Emotionally Arousing Verbs During the Attentional Blink
The present study aimed to examine affective modulation of the "attentional blink" effect during rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP). Pleasant, neutral, and unpleasant written verbs were used as a 2nd target (T2) in an 8.6-Hz RSVP paradigm. Pronounced effects of 1st target (T1)-T2 stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) were found, showing reduced report accuracy for 232- and 464-ms SOAs. Affectively arousing (pleasant and unpleasant) T2s were associ…
