“…Since our study goes beyond smartphone apps and focuses on reviews that each include a broad range of treatment elements, a categorization at a higher level was warranted. Fernandez-Álvarez et al ( 8 ) recently made a similar attempt to structure current research on digital technologies for the intervention of emotion regulation, in which a distinction was made between three distinct categories: digital technologies (1) to understand process and outcome (e.g., (bio)sensors, (2) to create new interventions (e.g., bio- and neurofeedback and XR) and (3) to disseminate psychological treatments [e.g., (un)guided interventions and videoconferencing psychotherapy]. Although their categorization is solely focused on emotion regulation, the structuring does show similarities to the current overview of review.…”

“…As a result, there are an overwhelming number of options, which hampers overview. To address this, attempts have already been made to structure parts of the field, for example for specific technologies, e.g., internet-supported mental health interventions ( 5 , 6 ), smartphone apps ( 7 ) or for particular domains, e.g., for emotion regulation in clinical psychology ( 8 ). The current overview of reviews aims to extend those previous endeavors by expanding the scope to all technologies applied to the broad domain of mental health and wellbeing.…”

Background: Research increasingly shows how selective and targeted use of technology within care and welfare can have several advantages including improved quality of care and active user involvement.Purpose: The current overview of reviews aims to summarize the research on the effectiveness of technology for mental health and wellbeing. The goal is to highlight and structure the diverse combinations of technologies and interventions used so far, rather than to summarize the effectiveness of singular approaches.Methods: The current overview includes reviews published in the past five years with a focus on effectiveness of digital and technological interventions targeting mental health and wellbeing.Results: A total of 246 reviews could be included. All reviews examined the effectiveness of digital and technological interventions in the context of care and welfare. A combination of two taxonomies was created through qualitative analysis, based on the retrieved interventions and technologies in the reviews. Review classification shows a predominance of reviews on psychotherapeutic interventions using computers and smartphones. It is furthermore shown that when smartphone applications as stand-alone technology are researched, the primary focus is on self-help, and that extended reality is the most researched emerging technology to date.Conclusion: This overview of reviews shows that a wide range of interventions and technologies, with varying focus and target populations, have been studied in the field of care and wellbeing. The current overview of reviews is a first step to add structure to this rapidly changing field and may guide both researchers and clinicians in further exploring the evidence-base of particular approaches.

“…Fear as an emotion can be interpreted in the context of individual experiences to a stimulus or situation. The emotion itself is connected to subjective experience (personally interpreted threats), physiological reactions (autonomic nervous system's reactions) and behavioral facets (e.g., expression of fear) (The Science of Emotion 2019; Meiselman 2016;Fernandez-Álvarez et al 2022). It can potentially give a higher impact to negative information processing in everyday functioning, but especially in crisis situations, holding an adaptive role (Baumeister et al 2001).…”

The Fear of War Scale (FOWARS): Development and Initial Validation

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The emergence of the Ukraine-Russia war in 2022 led to fear, worry and anxiety among individuals, mostly in the immediate neighboring countries of Ukraine. The purpose of the present study was to develop the fear of war scale (FOWARS), aiming to fill the gap in the literature that currently is scarce in valid assessment tools for measuring the fear of war. The sample of the study consisted of N = 1131 participants (n = 670 for group A, for EFA and n = 461 for group B, for CFA). Hungarian speaking participants, mainly from Romania and Hungary. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) evinced a two-factor model of the newly developed scale, and the final version fulfilled the criteria of the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The 13-items FOWARS has robust psychometric properties and proves to be appropriate for a fear of war assessment in the general population. The phenomenon is measured by two factors, namely experiential and physiological dimensions of fear. The scale is available in the present paper in two languages: English and Hungarian.

Synchronous online learning during movement control order in higher education institutions: a systematic review

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Higher education institutions (HEI) are not spared from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The closure of campuses because of the movement control order (MCO) to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 has forced HEIs to adopt online learning, especially synchronous online learning (SOL). Although teaching and learning can be continued via SOL, retaining students’ interest and sustaining their engagement have not been sufficiently explored. This study presents a systematic review of the research pertaining to SOL associated with students’ interest and engagement in HEIs during the MCO environment. Methods: Five major online databases, i.e., EBSCOhost, Science Direct, Emerald, Scopus and Springer were searched to collect relevant papers published between 1st January 2010 to 15th June 2021 including conference proceedings, peer-reviewed papers and dissertations. Papers written in the English language, based in full-fledged universities, and with these five keywords: (i) synchronous online learning, (ii) engagement, (iii) interest, (iv) MCO/Covid-19 and (v) HEI, were included. Papers focussing on synchronous and asynchronous online learning in schools and colleges were excluded. Each paper was reviewed by two reviewers in order to confirm the eligibility based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: We found 31 papers of which six papers were related to SOL, engagement and interest in HEIs in the MCO environment. Our review presents three major findings: (i) limited research has been conducted on SOL associated with students’ engagement and interest, (ii) studies related to the context of HEIs in the MCO environment are limited, and (iii) the understanding of the new phenomena through qualitative research is insufficient. We highlight the SOL alignment with students’ engagement, interest, style preference, learner interaction effectiveness, behavior and academic performance. Conclusions: We believe that the findings of this study are timely and require attention from the research community.
