Los nuevos fármacos contra la obesidad funcionan reduciendo el craving condicionado a las claves de incentivo. Eso indica (a) que el modelo de sensibilización de incentivo es correcto y (b) que la sobreingesta sí puede tener mecanismos comunes con las adicciones.

"Sé que no debería, pero no puedo parar". ¿Qué ocurre en nuestra mente cuando nos enganchamos a una actividad que sabemos que nos perjudica? Y lo más importante, ¿hay formas de reducir esa compulsividad?

New paper straight out of the oven!

We created a scale to measure a pretty interesting contruct: Exaggerating value of social media for communication. That way the field could advance in explaining instead of describing problematic behaviors.

If nudging/sludging patterns and standard instrumental learning principles already explain problematic Internet use, what does the addiction framework add?

Es probable que las áreas de utilidad y su importancia relativa fueran ligeramente distintas, pero a grandes rasgos no habría diferencias sustanciales.

We have another paper out! 📝

Led by Víctor Ciudad-Fernández, we explore problematic social media use, not as an "addiction," but as a consequence of overvaluation of rewards concerning adolescents' goals and values.

Sobre esta noticia de la UGR, me gustaría aclarar que los autores del trabajo en cuestión desaprobamos el uso del término "adicción al móvil", y que dicho término no aparece ni en el artículo original ni en el cuerpo de la nota de prensa.

Llevaba tiempo intentando encontrar una referencia para esto. ¿Cuánta gente (especialmente joven) trolea los estudios de opinión?

Bien, el 12% de los jóvenes en EEUU (vs solo el 1% de los 61+) responden que tienen licencia para operar un submarino.
