Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Reduces Symptom Severity and Normalizes Neurophysiological and Attentional Reactivity in Anorexia Nervosa: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Beykoz University + 2 more
Background: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a severe psychiatric disorder marked by restrictive eating, distorted body image, and high relapse rates. While cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a widely used treatment, its mechanisms of action in AN remain incompletely understood, particularly beyond self-reported symptom change. This study investigated the effects of a 12-week CBT intervention on both […]

Acceptance, Usability, and Emotions- An Extension of the UTAUT Designed for AI Virtual Assistants in the Context of Housing Modernization
Hamburg University of Applied Sciences
The integration of AI virtual assistants (AIVAs) into daily life raises critical questions about acceptance, usability, and emotional reactions. This paper explores these constructs within the context of the German state-funded KIMM project, which investigates the use of AIVAs to support the modernization of rental housing stock. To better understand users’ interactions with AIVAs, we […]

Short-Form Videos: An Exploratory Study on the Impact of Subtitles and ASMR Split-screen Format Options Using Eyegaze and Facial Expression Data
Loyola University Chicago
Short-form videos, popularized by platforms like TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels, have revolutionized media consumption through format options and features such as split-screen visuals, subtitles, music, accelerated audio, and pause removal. This exploratory study investigates how two of those format options, subtitles and split screen, influence viewer visual attention, recall, and emotional engagement during […]

Explicit metrics for implicit emotions: investigating physiological and gaze indices of learner emotions
University of Twente
Learning experiences are intertwined with emotions, which in turn have a significant effect on learning outcomes. Therefore, digital learning environments can benefit from taking the emotional state of the learner into account. To do so, the first step is real-time emotion detection which is made possible by sensors that can continuously collect physiological and eye-tracking […]

The Role of Energetic Music in a Video Game: Analyzing its Effect on Immersion, Perception and Performance
University of Primorska + 2 more
Energetic music has the potential to enhance immersion but can also negatively impact task performance. This study measured the effects of music on a video game suited for energetic music using both subjective (questionnaires) and objective (facial and physiological analysis) measures. Participants played under two conditions: with and without music. While the music condition led […]

Using Psychophysiological Data to Facilitate Reflective Conversations with Children about their Player Experiences
Queensland University of Technology + 3 more
Given the ubiquity of videogame play by children, concerns about the impacts of videogames, and increasing evidence of the benefits associated with digital play, it is important to evaluate the player experience (pX) of children. Moreover, it is essential to include children’s voices in research about technologies designed for their use. However, eliciting rich, first-hand […]

Towards Automated Competency Estimation for Math Education– An Eye Tracking and Emotion Analysis Study
University of Applied Sciences Neu-Ulm + 1 more
Personalization relies on user models– representations of the user’s competencies, preferences, and skills to adapt the system behavior to optimize interaction. But the anticipated gain in productivity is offset by the effort involved in collecting and maintaining said user model. This is particularly pronounced in systems like ALeA (Adaptive Learning Assistant, https://courses.voll-ki.fau.de/), where the learner […]

Prenatal affective cognitive training to reduce the risk of postpartum depression (PACT): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Psychiatric Centre Copenhagen, Neurocognition and Emotion in Affective Disorders Centre (NEAD) + 1 more
Background Postpartum depression (PPD) affects 30–50% of women with a history of previous depression or bipolar disorder and 8% of women with no history of depression. Negative cognitive biases in the perception of infant cues and difficulties with emotion regulation are replicated risk factors. Current interventions focus on detecting and treating rather than preventing PPD. The aim of this […]
