Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity01:23

Influence of Parents and Peers on Identity

491
Adolescence is a pivotal period of identity formation, during which individuals begin to answer questions central to their sense of self, such as "Who am I?" and "Who do I hope to become?" Both parents and peers play critical roles in guiding adolescents through this complex developmental phase.
Parental Influence on Identity Development
Parents serve as primary guides and managers in an adolescent's life, offering support instrumental in decision-making and personal growth....

Self-Help Support Groups01:28

Self-Help Support Groups

341
Self-help support groups are voluntary, community-based organizations that provide a platform for individuals with shared concerns to exchange support, insights, and practical strategies for coping with life challenges. Typically led by group members or paraprofessionals, these groups form a cornerstone of mental health care, especially in reaching populations that are underserved by traditional healthcare systems.
Accessibility and Cost-Effectiveness
One of the primary strengths of self-help...

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

1.2K
Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not...

Support Reactions01:30

Support Reactions

1.5K
A coplanar force system refers to a set of forces that all lie in the same plane and are subject to different reactions between the point of contact and the supports. Understanding how different types of supports affect coplanar forces is crucial for designing safe and reliable structures that can withstand external loads.
The purpose of the supports is to prevent the translational motion of the system by applying an equal and opposite force and to prevent the system's rotation by applying...

Support Reactions in Three Dimensions01:27

Support Reactions in Three Dimensions

1.6K
Support reactions in three dimensions help maintain the stability and equilibrium of various structures and systems. These reactions prevent the system from translating and rotating, ensuring the design can withstand external forces and perform its intended function efficiently and safely. Some of the supports providing support reactions in three dimensions are discussed below:
Ball and Socket Joint is one of the supports allowing free rotation about any axis. This freedom of rotation is...

Bone as Supporting Connective Tissue01:23

Bone as Supporting Connective Tissue

6.6K
Bone tissue forms the internal skeleton of vertebrate animals, providing structure to the body.
Bone Matrix
Bone, or osseous tissue, is a connective tissue that has a large amount of two different types of matrix material. The organic matrix is similar to the matrix material found in other connective tissues, including some amount of collagen and elastic fibers. This gives strength and flexibility to the tissue. The inorganic matrix consists of mineral salts— mostly calcium salts—...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Digital addiction (DA) is a growing concern, characterized by compulsive technology use.
  • Online peer groups offer a unique medium for intervention due to interactivity and real-time communication.
  • Current platform designs for combating DA lack systematic guidance, risking unintended harm.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate systematic design processes for interactive online platforms targeting digital addiction.
  • To develop a reference model for designing peer group platforms to combat DA.
  • To introduce COPE.er, a process model for creating customizable online persuasive ecologies for rehabilitation.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative studies, including user studies and observational investigations.
  • Development of a reference model for platform design.
  • Creation of the COPE.er process model based on participatory design.

Main Results:

  • A reference model for designing interactive online platforms to host peer groups and combat DA.
  • The COPE.er process model, facilitating the creation of customizable online persuasive ecologies.
  • Insights into leveraging peer group dynamics, gamification, and persuasive techniques for DA intervention.

Conclusions:

  • Systematic design is crucial for developing effective online interventions for digital addiction.
  • The proposed reference and process models provide a framework for creating safer and more impactful digital health platforms.
  • Further research into the intersection of platform design, peer influence, and persuasive technology is warranted.
