Examines how openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism predict sofalizing tendencies in a Filipino emerging-adult sample.

A mixed-methods study combining survey data and qualitative interviews to document sofalizing prevalence and motivations among Filipino young adults.

Introduces sofalizing as a measurable construct and maps its associations with social media addiction, loneliness, and life satisfaction.

Tests a mediation model in which sofalizing transmits the effect of social anxiety on problematic social media use in university students.

A comprehensive systematic review synthesising existing empirical evidence on sharenting — its prevalence, motivations, risks to children's privacy, and psychological drivers in parents.

Conceptualises phubbing as a convergence of multiple virtual addictions and situates it within the broader landscape of problematic technology use.

Uses structural equation modelling to identify the key predictors of phubbing behaviour, including smartphone addiction, internet addiction, and fear of missing out.

Investigates how dark triad traits (narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy) mediate the path from childhood emotional abuse to cyberbullying perpetration in university students.

Applies uses-and-gratifications theory to explain how Big Five personality traits interact with platform choice and usage motives to predict problematic social media use.

Tests a serial mediation model in which creativity and depressive symptoms sequentially link creative personality traits to addictive social media behaviour.

Reveals that narcissism and psychopathy positively predict problematic social media use while self-esteem serves as a buffering factor in a university student sample.
