Adolescents' perceptions of using likes, comments, and other reactions-A qualitative investigation.

With the majority of young people using social media as a primary form of communication with friends and family, it is becoming increasingly important to understand how adolescents perceive their own and others' online behaviour. Participants (N = 34) aged 11-15 years took part in focus group discussions exploring their perceptions of the communication intentions of using online interpersonal feedback, specifically the use of 'reactions' (e.g.

No differences between remote and laboratory-based testing of cardiac interoceptive accuracy using the phase adjustment task.

In recent years, there has been an increased interest in remote testing methods for quantifying individual differences in interoception, the perception of the body's internal state. Hampering the adoption of remote methods are concerns as to the quality of data obtained remotely. Using data from several studies, we sought to compare the performance of individuals who completed the Phase Adjustment Task-a new measure of cardiac interoceptive accuracy that can be administered via a smartphone application-supervised in a laboratory against those who completed the task remotely.

Exploring sex differences in cardiac interoceptive accuracy using the phase adjustment task.

Previous evidence suggests males and females differ with respect to interoception-the processing of internal bodily signals-with males typically outperforming females on tasks of interoceptive accuracy. However, interpretation of existing evidence in the cardiac domain is hindered by the limitations of existing tools. In this investigation, we pooled data from several samples to examine sex differences in cardiac interoceptive accuracy on the phase adjustment task, a new measure that overcomes several limitations of the existing tools.

Investigating the potential of aggregated mobility indices for inferring public transport ridership changes.

Aggregated mobility indices (AMIs) derived from information and communications technologies have recently emerged as a new data source for transport planners, with particular value during periods of major disturbances or when other sources of mobility data are scarce. Particularly, indices estimated on the aggregate user concentration in public transport (PT) hubs based on GPS of smartphones, or the number of PT navigation queries in smartphone applications have been used as proxies for the temporal changes in PT aggregate demand levels. Despite the popularity of these indices, it remains largely untested whether they can provide a reasonable characterisation of actual PT ridership changes.
