Who is responsible? US Public perceptions of AI governance through the lenses of trust and ethics.

The governance of artificial intelligence (AI) is an urgent challenge that requires actions from three interdependent stakeholders: individual citizens, technology corporations, and governments. We conducted an online survey ( = 525) of US adults to examine their beliefs about the governance responsibility of these stakeholders as a function of trust and AI ethics. Different dimensions of trust and different ethical concerns were associated with beliefs in governance responsibility of the three stakeholders.

Social media multitasking (SMM) and well-being: Existing evidence and future directions.

Despite the prevalence of social media multitasking (SMM), its effects on well-being have received little attention. Of the nine studies that directly examined this topic, six found a negative relationship between SMM and well-being variables, and three found mixed or no effects. We compare the findings with those from five meta-analyses of general media multitasking (GMM) and 15 recent studies on GMM and well-being.

Preserving Self: Medication-Taking Practices and Preferences of Older Adults With Multiple Chronic Medical Conditions.

Purpose: To examine the experiences of older adults with multiple chronic medical conditions when a new medication was added to their existing multiple medication regimen.

Design: A multimethod qualitative design was used. Thirty adults 60 years of age with (a) at least three chronic medical diagnoses, (b) at least five medications at baseline, and (c) a new medication prescription were enrolled in a prospective study of 30 days duration, participating from their homes.

REMAP-a Resilience Resources Measure for Prediction and Management of Somatic Symptoms.

Purpose: Patients with symptoms but without an identified disease are a challenge to primary care providers. A 22-item measure is introduced and evaluated to offer medical care providers with an instrument to assess and discuss possible deficiencies in resilience resources that may contribute to symptoms without identifiable pathology. This instrument highlights psychosocial and lifestyle resources that serve as buffers to life's stressors rather than focusing on stress and its related symptoms.

How are previous physical activity and self-efficacy related to future physical activity and self-efficacy?

Self-efficacy (SE) has been found to be a robust predictor of success in achieving physical activity (PA) goals. While much of the current research has focused on SE as a trait, SE as a state has received less attention. Using day-to-day measurements obtained over 84 days, we examined the relationship between state SE and PA.

Improving symptom communication through personal digital assistants: the CHAT (Communicating Health Assisted by Technology) project.

Background: Communication problems impede effective symptom management during chemotherapy. The primary aim of this pilot randomized controlled trial was to test the effects of a personal digital assistant-delivered communication intervention on pain, depression, and fatigue symptoms among breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Secondary aims included assessment of 1) study feasibility, 2) patient and clinician responses to study participation, and 3) intervention effects on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and communication self-efficacy.

Reactance to a tailored multimedia intervention encouraging teachers to promote cover-the-cough.

Teachers were presented tailored multimedia messages encouraging them to offer cover-the-cough instruction to their students. Messages were tailored by grade level (elementary, higher grade) and stage of change (preaction, action). Among teachers in the action stages, message tailoring did not make a difference.

A walking intervention for postmenopausal women using mobile phones and Interactive Voice Response.

We conducted a feasibility study of a 12-week walking intervention administered through an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system and mobile phones. We also examined the added benefit of a human coach. Post-menopausal women (n = 71) were given a daily-steps goal, which they monitored using a pedometer.

Development Of An Educational Video To Improve Patient Knowledge And Communication With Their Healthcare Providers About Colorectal Cancer Screening.

BACKGROUND: Low rates of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening persist due to individual, provider and system level barriers. PURPOSE: To develop and obtain initial feedback about a CRC screening educational video from community members and medical professionals. METHODS: Focus groups of patients were conducted prior to the development of an educational video and focus groups of patients provided initial feedback about the developed CRC screening educational video.

Information seeking and satisfaction with physician-patient communication among prostate cancer survivors.

Relatively little is known about prostate cancer patients' information seeking after diagnosis, how they use such information in making a treatment decision, or what role information plays in adjusting to quality-of-life issues posttreatment. This research sought to explore some of these issues by examining prostate cancer patients' information seeking and its relationship to assessments of feeling informed and satisfied with physician-patient communication about prostate cancer. Respondents felt reasonably informed about prostate cancer, although over one third of them reported being less then informed.

Social effects of an anthropomorphic help agent: humans versus computers.

The purpose of this study was to examine perceptions of fairness of a computer-administered quiz as a function of the anthropomorphic features of the help agent offered within the quiz environment. The addition of simple anthropomorphic cues to a computer help agent reduced the perceived friendliness of the agent, perceived intelligence of the agent, and the perceived fairness of the quiz. These differences were observed only for male anthropomorphic cues, but not for female anthropomorphic cues.
