Given the rise in extremist radicalization using digital media, antifascist education must develop its own philosophy of digital technologies. The first half of this paper turns to Leo Löwenthal and Norbert Guterman's theory of the American agitator as well as Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno's notion of fascist projection and paranoia to provide…

Cyber-ostracism threatens adolescents' socialization and the reverse may also matter. However, little attention has been paid to the bidirectional relationship between cyber-ostracism and prosocial behaviors in adolescents, along with the underlying mechanisms. Therefore, this study examined the longitudinal association between cyber-ostracism and…

Online distance learning presents unique psychosocial characteristics due to the inherent distance between learners. Social presence --the sense of being with others-- is key to mitigating this distance. However, our understanding of social presence remains limited, despite its potential to reduce social isolation and cultivate a conducive social…

We extend research on social annotation in education by implementing a new annotation technique in the literature classroom. Over the course of one year, we invited students to socially annotate literary texts using emojis that reflected their affective responses to those texts. This approach was inspired by new functions of social annotation…

This study takes the value-based adoption model and CIE model of the learning process as the theoretical basis and combines them to explore the influencing factors and mechanisms of learners' online interaction and perceived value. Based on the questionnaire survey data of 81 learners' potential factors and their 45,166 real-time behavior data on…

Students explored using generative AI to create relational messages as well as audience reactions to both human-created and AI-created notes of encouragement. The activity helped students understand the practical, relational, and ethical implications of incorporating AI into communication tasks. By the end of the activity, students could discern…

With the development of information and communication technology, project-based learning (PBL) has become an important pedagogical approach. Group leaders are critical in PBL, and prestige influences learner leadership. Regulation affects learners' prestige, but research on their relationship is lacking. Through content analysis and epistemic…

Purpose: This paper investigates the moderating-mediation roles of synchronous and asynchronous learning, as well as virtual self-efficacy between digital learning space experience and continuous use among learners in Ghanaian institutions of higher learning. Design/methodology/approach: A convenience sampling technique was used in the selection…

This article aims to investigate the impact of mentalized affectivity on negative emotions among Chinese college students based on a questionnaire survey of 899 university students. The study adopts a mentalized affectivity scale, an internet altruistic behavior scale, and a self-analysis questionnaire. The study's findings reveal a negative…

Previous research has demonstrated shyness plays a critical role in the development and maintenance of smartphone addiction. The present study aimed to examine the mediating roles of maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies and experiential avoidance as well as the moderating role of online social support in the relation between shyness…

Although cyber victimization has been suggested as a significant risk factor for the development of adolescents' depression, the underlying psychopathological process that mediates this relationship needs further exploration. Based on the psychological inflexibility model, this study aimed to examine cognitive fusion and experiential avoidance as…

Objective: Electronic Nicotine Delivery System (ENDS) proprietors strategically placed near college campuses and pervasive marketing on social media platforms, such as Facebook, are critical to the tobacco industry's effort to acquire new young adult users. Understanding the themes used on Facebook to promote ENDS products to college students is…

Accumulating literature suggests that the risk of perpetrating bullying is greater among those who have been bullied. The association between the transition from victim to bully and revenge aggression suggests the critical role of forgiveness. However, evidence on the mediating role of forgiveness on the victimisation-bullying association is still…

Constructive interactions and knowledge integration activities are methods commonly used for learning; however, establishing successful coordination becomes a hurdle in computer-mediated collaborations. The development of systems to facilitate communication activities in such situations has been attempted, but models are still required for…

Moral disengagement is a cognitive mechanism that seeks to avoid the feeling of guilt in the face of transgressive behaviors and seems to be present in behaviors such as cyberbullying, cybergossip or bullying in adolescence. Few studies have explored this connection in the primary school years, even though gossip, bullying and cyberbullying are…
