Unpacking the Complex Interplay Between Internet Usage and Well-being Among Older Adults
The internet has become ubiquitous in daily life, and its relationship with well-being is a crucial contemporary issue. On the basis of a lifespan perspective and socioemotional selectivity theory, the present study aimed to understand how older adults can benefit from internet usage. Studies 1a ( N = 1725) and 1b ( N = 1715) leveraged two large, independent, cross-sectional, and nationally representative datasets from the Taiwan Social Change Su…
A meta-analytic review of cultural variation in affect valuation
What affective states do people ideally want to feel and why? In Affect Valuation Theory, Tsai et al. (2006) proposed and observed that (a) how people would ideally like to feel (their "ideal affect") differs from how they actually feel (their "actual affect"), and (b) cultural factors shape people's ideal affect even more than their actual affect. In this individual participant data meta-analysis, we reexamined these two premises in a combined d…
The More Similar, the Better? Associations Between Latent Semantic Similarity and Emotional Experiences Differ Across Conversation Contexts
Latent semantic similarity (LSS) is a measure of the similarity of information exchanges in a conversation. Challenging the assumption that higher LSS bears more positive psychological meaning, we propose that this association might depend on the type of conversation people have. On the one hand, the share-mind perspective would predict that higher LSS should be associated with more positive emotional experiences across the board. The broaden-and…

Exploring Behavioral Intention to Use a Mobile Health Education Website
This study developed and empirically tested a model to predict the factors affecting patients' behavioral intentions to use a mobile health education website. It explored the behavioral intention to use a mobile health education website from the perspective of consumers by extending the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 model with the addition of mobile self-efficacy (M-SE), use motivation, and mobile literacy as moderators. Fo…
Influences on medical app adoption by patients
Hospitals have begun to provide their own apps to improve the efficiency of hospital services. This research investigated the factors influencing the adoption of medical apps by hospital patients, using a theoretical model that combines the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology with the concept of technology readiness. Data were obtained from hard copy survey responses to self-report questionnaires administered to patients of a hospi…
