Decreasing Function01:27

Decreasing Function

299
A decreasing function describes a relationship where the output consistently declines as the input increases. This means that for any two input values, if one is greater than the other, the corresponding output is smaller. Mathematically, a function f is decreasing on an interval I if for every x1 < x2​ in I, f (x1) > f (x2). This type of behavior is visually identified on a graph that slopes downward from left to right.The nature of a function can be analyzed by calculating...

Social Exchange Theory

40.8K
We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

Social Scripts02:10

Social Scripts

10.3K
People tend to know what behavior is expected of them in specific, familiar settings. A script is a person’s knowledge about the sequence of events expected in a specific setting (Schank & Abelson, 1977). Essentially, scripts are a particular kind of schema, one containing default values for the features within an event. In the restaurant example, the script's features include the props (e.g., tables, menu, food, and money), the roles to be played (e.g., customer and waiter),...

Social Traps01:41

Social Traps

26.9K
Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...

Decreased Body Temperature01:29

Decreased Body Temperature

1.1K
A decreased body temperature can occur in patients with hypothermia and frostbite. Heat loss with extended cold exposure overpowers the body's ability to create heat, resulting in hypothermia. Core temperature readings help classify hypothermia. Mild hypothermia is temperatures between 32 °C (89.6 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and is caused by impaired thermoregulation. Moderate hypothermia is temperatures between 28 C (82.4 °F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F) caused by...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Computer Science
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Online social networking addiction is a growing concern linked to negative mental health outcomes and reduced academic performance.
  • Technology addiction, including social networking addiction, necessitates effective intervention strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and evaluate an Android mobile application aimed at measuring and decreasing social networking addiction.
  • To assess the app's impact on addiction levels, mental health, and quality of life among university students.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 200 university students, divided into intervention and control groups.
  • The intervention group utilized a newly designed Android mobile application for a 2-week period.
  • Data on social networking addiction, depression, anxiety, sleep quality, and life satisfaction were collected pre- and post-intervention.

Main Results:

  • The mobile application successfully measured online social networking addiction levels.
  • A significant decrease in social networking addiction, depression, and anxiety was observed in the intervention group.
  • The app also led to improved sleep quality and life satisfaction, alongside reduced time spent on social networks.

Conclusions:

  • The developed Android mobile application serves as a viable tool for measuring and mitigating social networking addiction among college students.
  • This intervention demonstrates potential for improving mental health and academic outcomes in a student population.
  • Further research can explore broader applications and long-term effects of mobile-based interventions for technology addiction.
