Convergent and divergent predictors of extensive use time and problematic TikTok use
Short videos on TikTok provided an entertaining pastime for 1.5 billion users worldwide in 2023. The increasing popularity of TikTok has generated considerable research interest in the psychological and social predictors of problematic use. However, recent empirical studies on Internet-based activities have found evidence that extensive time spent on TikTok is not necessarily problematic. This study explores convergent and divergent predictors of…

Social media-related nightmare — a potential explanation for poor sleep quality and low affective well-being in the social media era
Research has posited that social media use during the day may be reflected in nighttime dreams. Nevertheless, no prior studies have explored frightening, unpleasant dreams arising from social media use. This study introduces the construct of the social media-related nightmare by (a) developing and validating a scale capturing negative-valenced dreams with themes of helplessness, loss of control, inhibition, victimization, and making mistakes in s…

“Give Your Thumb a Break” from Surfing Tragic Posts
Negativity bias predicts that individuals will attend to, learn from, and prioritize negative news more than positive news. Drawing from the addiction components model, this cross-sectional study conceptualized and measured “doomscrolling” as excessive thoughts, urges, or behaviors related to the consumption of negative news on social media platforms. Participants were a convenience sample (N = 747) of Iranian social media users. The 8-item, unid…
“Celebrities to lean on!” Perceived celebrity support across two cultures—Iran and the United States
Though many people loathe celebrities and their lifestyles, celebrities can also be perceived as being available to provide community support. The purpose of this study was to establish the psychometric properties of the Perceived Celebrity Support Inventory. The scale was developed to capture three aspects of perceived celebrity support to the community: instrumental (i.e., providing tangible and concrete assistance), informational (i.e., advice…
Pursuing virtual perfection
The present study examines the potential roles of perfectionism and reactions to failure in understanding gaming disorder. Specifically, we investigate whether parental perfectionism predisposes players to risk of gaming disorder through internalized perfectionism and maladaptive reactions to failure. Hungarian gamers (N = 2,097, 88.5% male, Mage = 26.2 years, SD = 6.8) completed an online survey measuring perfectionism (parental and self-oriente…
From Skepticism Toward Celebrities to Celebrity Culture Hate
Though efforts have been made to understand the concept of celebrity hatred, ambiguity still exists about why some people feel intense contempt, antagonism, and fear directed at celebrity culture. This study (N = 1175) aimed to reveal the indirect impact of skepticism toward celebrities on celebrity culture hate by introducing perceived celebrity deception (the perception that celebrities are deceptive) and dark triad traits of celebrities (the p…
Oversharing on Social Media
Oversharing on social media by adolescents is a considerable problem in the digital age, and has the potential to instigate online shaming, cyberbullying, identity theft, and other security risks. To date, oversharing has not been comprehensively studied and there is scarce understanding of the possible psychological conditions that may underlie this maladaptive online behavior. This study aimed to measure online oversharing and its potential psy…
Preference of Online Friends Over Face-To-Face Friends
The emergence of online social networking has increased development of exclusively online friendships. Individuals in online environments are willing to invest considerable time and effort to develop and maintain relationships as they would in other gathering spaces. In some cases, individuals find it preferable to make friends via the internet over more traditional means of relationship formation. The current study examines preference for online…
Toxic behaviors in online multiplayer games

An Investigation of Demographic Correlates of the Celebrity Attitude Scale
The Celebrity Attitude Scale (CAS) has been widely used in the last 15 years, but little is known about how ethnicity and socioeconomic status relate to scores on this scale. In the first of two studies, we showed that a sample of African-American college students had more favorable attitudes toward their favorite celebrities than a sample of White college students. However, there was no control for the possibility that the two samples were unequ…

Laterality in spontaneous motor activity of chimpanzees and squirrel monkeys
Varieties of nonmanipulative motor responses were observed in chimpanzees and squirrel monkeys. Chimpanzees displayed a right hand preference for touching their inanimate environments but used their right and left hands equally for touching their faces and their bodies. The latter result was not consistent with previous reports of a left hand preference for face touching in apes. The right hand preference for environmental touching was stronger i…
Effect of Infants on Adult Social Relations in the Squirrel Monkey ( Saimiri Sciureus )
7 groups of squirrel monkeys were observed to assess the effect of infants on social interactions and interanimal distances among adult members of their natal groups. Each group contained one or two infants, 5 to 7 months of age at the start of the study. Infants initiated affiliative and playful interactions with all adults, whereas adults directed few mostly antagonistic, interactions toward infants. Following the removal of infants from groups…

Participants' Ratings of Male Physicians Who Vary in Race and Communication Style
Research has shown minorities receive lower quality health care than White persons even with socioeconomic conditions controlled. This difference may partially be related to racially biased attitudes and impaired communication in interracial relationships between physicians and patients. This study investigated the effect of physicians' race and nonverbal communication style on participants' evaluations. Patients at a local health clinic were par…
Effects of Student Gender and Socioeconomic Status on Teacher Perceptions
The authors examined experimentally whether student gender and socioeconomic status (SES) affect teachers' expectations of students.

Needs assessment in STEM disciplines
Retention is a major problem in most colleges and universities. High dropout rates, especially in the STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), have proved intractable despite the offering of supplemental instruction. A broad model of support systems that includes psychological factors is needed to address retention in STEM fields. The purpose of our study was to develop an instrument to identify the support needs of co…
