This systematic review summarizes empirical evidence on risky decision-making (objective risk and ambiguity) in specific domains of problematic use the internet (PUI) focusing online addictive behaviors. We conducted a pre-registered (PROSPERO: CRD42020188452) PubMed search for PUI domains: gaming, social-network use, buying-shopping, pornography unspecified PUI. used Newcastle-Ottawa Scale quality assessment. Relevant studies were identified only gaming (n=19), (n=8), (n=7), gambling (n=1). The meta-analyses included 25 (2,498 participants) comparing control groups regarding performance under objective ambiguity. Across domains, individuals with compared to participants showed more disadvantageous measures (g=-0.42 [-0.69, -0.16], p=.002) but not ambiguity (g=-0.22 [-0.47, -0.04], p=.096). domain gender significant moderators. In domain, effects particularly present disorder, especially exclusively male samples. Overall, paucity considered area necessitates further research identify probable gender- disorder-specific cognitive relationships.

More than half the domestic population in China were infected with COVID-19 two months after ending "zero-infection policy", which severely overwhelmed frontline healthcare providers stress and fear. However, there is no study to date investigating associations between nurses' fear of pandemic cyberchondria. This aimed 1) investigate correlations cyberchondria among nurses, 2) discover its potential mechanism. A cross-sectional sample nurses (N = 8161) was recruited from 98 hospitals across February 2023. Participants invited complete an online, self-rated standardized questionnaire focused on fear, alexithymia, psychological distress, Environmental, clinical socioeconomic information collected for adjustment while conducting chain mediation analysis. When other covariates controlled, it found that significantly contributed (b 0.58, 95%CI [0.56, 0.60], p < .001).

Problematic use of the internet (PUI) is prevalent, particularly among adolescents and young adults. Given limited measures to assess specific types PUI, which encompasses a broad spectrum activities such as online gaming, social media use, pornography shopping, gambling, web-streaming, Muller et al. (2022) developed Assessment Criteria for Specific Internet-use Disorders (ACSID-11) comprehensively different PUI (i.e., use). The present study aimed validate Chinese ACSID-11 incorporating cross-cultural adaptations. Using forward-backward translation method, culturally adapted version was prepared. Then, cross-sectional survey administered between September 8 26, 2023. Adolescents, using convenience sample (N = 11,492; mean age 16.42 years [SD ± 0.91]; 59.1% male), were recruited from six schools complete translated ACSID-11, Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form (IGDS9-SF), Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS), Smartphone Application Based (SABAS) via an platform.
