“…Second, ongoing advances in technology have created more communication opportunities, allowing the massive adoption of social networking platforms which has contributed to an increased ability to provide psychotherapy through these means. Providing psychotherapy via social networking platforms has exhibited positive downstream effects, such as reduced costs and decreased study periods typically associated with research and delivery of psychotherapy utilizing technology ( Andersson et al, 2019 ; Yan and Chen, 2015 ). Additionally, researchers around the world have gained interest in this field ( Ritterband et al, 2006 ) which now receives support from both private and government funding agencies for new investigations and intervention dissemination ( National Institute of Mental Health, 2018 ; Ritterband et al, 2006 ).…”

Background Rapid growth of the integration of technology and psychotherapeutic interventions has been noted, but no clear quantification of this growth has been done. Aims This bibliometric analysis seeks to quantify the growth, trends, and applications of technology in psychotherapeutic interventions over the last 40 years. Methods Searches were conducted in the Web of Science (WOS) database for all existing technology-psychotherapy-related publications from 1981 to October 2020. Search terms were refined using a systematic screening strategy, based upon Cochrane protocol, generating 52 technology terms. Analyses across 40 years and by decade from 1981 to 2020 were conducted. Results A total of 13,934 peer-reviewed articles were identified. Yearly publication rate has increased from one in 1981 to 1902 by October 2020. The growth rate of publications across decades consistently tripled in size (762.50% from the 1980s to 1990s, 539.71% from the 1990s to 2000s, and 337.24% from the 2000s to 2010s). The author, country, journal, and institution with the most publications were Andersson, G., USA, Journal of Medical Internet Research, and Karolinska Institute, respectively. The most frequent technology search term across all four decades was “internet*.” The trends in percentages of peer-reviewed publications within each decade showed: 1) a declining trend for the term “computer,” 2) an upward trend for the combined terms, “internet,” “online,” and “web,” 3) and a steady but smaller proportion of publications for other terms (“cell phone,” “phone/telephone,” “technology,” “video,” “virtual reality or VR,” “apps,” “digital,” “machine learning,” “electronic,” “robo,” and “telehealth”). Discussion The rapid growth and trends identified in technology and psychotherapy publications can inform related policies addressing the role of technology in mental health. Moreover, pattern analyses may provide direction for a standard nomenclature to address terminology usage inconsistencies across the field.

“…Perhaps most alarmingly, although “mobile phones are becoming the most ubiquitous technology in human history” (Yan, 2015, p. xxxix), they have met with sparse attention in information science literature. Mentions of mobile phone and related topics are tethered to discussions of updated applications and/or information needs, with little to no contribution made to the theories of information science and to the effects of these theories on humans and their societies.…”

Purpose-The paper relays an important line of Mark Hepworth's work, which engages with information technologies and development. The paper aims to suggest a subfield of Library and Information Science (LIS) for development to reclaim the role of information services and systems for social change in rural areas. The paper looks at the extent of development gained with the advent of mobile phones. Design/methodology/approach-Rather than undertaking traditional large-scale, quantitative, context-independent and survey-type research, the paper employs a capability approach and semi-structured interviews to ascertain the experiences that mobile phone kiosk vendors in the rural Congo have of mobile phones. Findings-It was found that (1) mobile phones should be geared towards the liberation, and not utilization or commodification of humans and their needs, and (2) mobile phones are not a catalyst of human basic capabilities. Practical implications-The paper provides empirical evidence as to how an important group of mobile phone users could harness development with their mobiles. Research limitations/implications-Since the method employed is an in-depth qualitative analysis of mobile phone kiosk vendors, obtained results can be used to enrich or inform mobile phone experiences in other settings and groups. Originality/value-Most LIS literature has presented mobile phones along the lines of information freedom or access, mass subscription, adoption rates, technological and entrepreneurial innovation, micro-credits, etc. However, this paper places development at the heart of LIS debates.

“…However, that person is not always an addict. According to Yan (2015), people who are addicted to smartphones often busy themselves all the time with a smartphone, cannot stop using it, and find it difficult to reduce or stop using it at all. In fact, not infrequently, they use smartphones to escape from problems or improve their moods, such as feelings of loneliness, isolation, anxiety, and sadness.…”

Nowadays, students have become inseparable from smartphones. A smartphone’s purpose should primarily be to serve as an educational tool. However, it is discovered that its primary application is for social media, which can lead to addiction to smartphones. Effective self-regulation can serve as a firm foundation for individuals to utilize a smartphone in a disciplined and appropriate manner. This study aimed to empirically investigate the impact of self-regulation on the propensity of students to develop smartphone addiction. This study employed a quantitative methodology, namely simple linear regression analysis. The sampling technique employed was purposive sampling, with a total sample size of 155 students. The measurement method used a smartphone addiction tendency scale (α = 0.849) and a self-regulation scale (α = 0.861). The findings of this study indicate that self-regulation has a significant impact on the propensity to develop smartphone addiction (β = -0.263; p<0.05). As a result, self regulation has the potential to mitigate the inclination towards smartphone addiction. The provided funding can be utilized as empirical evidence for assessing the impact of self-regulation on the susceptibility to smartphone addiction.
