“…Social network addiction can be considered a subtype of internet addiction (Błachnio et al, 2015;Ruiz-Palmero et al, 2019), sharing many characteristics. Social network dependency is caused both to their possible use as a channel of interaction and communication among young people, as well as to the strategies 3 / 13 promoted by social networks to condition emotional responses and trigger behaviours that generate the need to remain connected (Peng et al, 2019).…”

The excessive use of ICTs is a growing problem among young people. The social isolation caused by COVID-19 can increase these inappropriate behaviour. This study aims at analysing the problematic use of ICTs in trainee teachers based on the gender variable before and after the COVID-19 lockdown based on the gender variable. A longitudinal panel design was carried out with pre-test and post-test measurements based on the gender variable. The sample consisted of 147 students from the Faculty of Education at the University of Malaga who were tested using a validated instrument: MULTICAGE-TIC. The results show that women used ICTs at a higher risk than men before lockdown, except for video games. During lockdown, men obtain higher scores than women in all the analysed ICTs (except for mobile phones). Both genders reach dependency level in all ICTs except for video games in women. The significant increase in all ICTs shows that the effects of the pandemic, such as restrictions on mobility and social interaction, have influenced such growth.

“…That is, assimilation effect is also possible. For instance, Peng et al (2019) found that upward social comparison with an attractive male Instagram user triggered higher self-improvement motivation and workout intention as compared with downward and lateral social comparisons. Meier and Schäfer (2018) showed that Instagram users felt inspiration and benign envy (i.e., a type of envy that motivates individuals) after comparing themselves with other Instagram users, be it friends, social influencers, or strangers.…”

“…That is, under certain circumstances, seeing a superstar makes individuals feel incompetent and desperate (i.e., contrast effect), while in other cases, the same exposure may make individuals feel competent and hopeful (i.e., assimilation effect; Ganegoda & Bordia, 2019; Lockwood & Kunda, 1997). Although both contrast and assimilation effects have been observed for social comparison on SNSs, empirical evidence indicates contrast effect as the dominant response (e.g., Alfasi, 2019; Hogue & Mills, 2019; Meier & Schäfer, 2018; Peng et al, 2019; Utz & Maaß, 2018).…”

Upward social comparison on social networking sites (SNSs) makes SNS users feel bad about themselves. Would emphasizing overall similarity between SNS users and the upward comparison targets make them feel good about themselves (i.e., assimilation)? We examined this question using a 3 (overall similarity: zero vs. moderate vs. high) × 2 (comparison dimension: physical appearance vs. financial status) between-subjects online experiment with 143 college students. Participants were recommended with a Facebook user who was physically attractive or financially successful (i.e., an upward comparison target). Right before seeing more details about the target, participants saw a visual cue indicating they shared zero (0%), moderate (50%), or high (90%) overall similarity with the target purported to be algorithm-generated. Results revealed that after seeing images showing the target’s physical attractiveness or financial success, those who shared moderate and high overall similarity with the target rated themselves more positively on physical appearance and financial status and also reported higher liking for the target, the effect of which was mediated by perceived similarity with the target. Moderate, but not high overall similarity improved participants’ life satisfaction. Theoretical and design implications are discussed in light of our findings.

“…The transmission of these agents among health professionals depends on a series of factors, the most important of which are the type of activity carried out by the worker and the effectiveness of the preventive interventions carried out [ 16 , 17 ]. Airborne pathogens and associated chronic respiratory diseases such as tuberculosis are highly contagious and can have severe effects on the health of workers [ 18 ]. Moreover, the symptoms of these diseases take time to manifest in the airways, which can prevent workers from realizing they have been exposed after symptoms begin [ 19 , 20 , 21 ].…”

Airborne pathogens and non-malignant infectious diseases such as tuberculosis are highly contagious and can have severe effects on healthcare workers. The symptoms of these diseases take time to manifest, which can prevent workers from noticing that they have been exposed until symptoms appear. The current paper sought to assess the occupational safety and preventative measures taken in laboratories in Spain, and to compare these measures with those reported by other studies worldwide. A cross-sectional study of workers (35–50 years old) was conducted using a web survey (N = 30), and a bibliometric analysis was carried out in the Scopus database (92 documents were selected). The occupational safety and health measures were inadequate, according to the opinions of the workers. The training (p < 0.01), the amount of work (p < 0.05), and how the workers followed their protocols (p < 0.001) were linked to incidents and exposure to airborne pathogens. The most significant previous publication was a report (848 citations) stating that the previous variables linked to exposure are vital for prevention. Most works focused on countries like the U.S.A. (p = 0.009) were reviews, with a limited number of studies focused on occupational safety.
