SUMMARY:Psychology Online Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Cyberaggression — aggressive behavior toward others in digital environments\, such as harassment\, bullying\, and trolling — is a growing concern. This study examined the effects of anonymity and appetitive cybermotives on adolescent cyberaggression toward peers and celebrities\, with appetitive cybermotives as moderators. Data were collected online from 500 Czech adolescents (52.3% girls; Mage=15.42\, SDage=1.70) using a between-subject experimental design. Participants were randomly assigned to anonymous or non-anonymous conditions and completed virtual tasks measuring cyberaggression by endorsing (liking and sharing) aggressive comments directed at peers and celebrities. Session lasted approximately 20 minutes. Results indicated greater tendency for cyberaggression towards celebrities compared to peers in both anonymous (p = 0.03) and non-anonymous conditions (p = 0.03). Analyses using Process Macro Model 2 (SPSS 29)\, revealed that neither anonymity nor appetitive cybermotives significantly influenced cyberaggression. These findings highlight the limited role of anonymity and cybermotives in adolescent online aggression but suggest that celebrities may experience higher levels of cyberaggression. The study underscores the importance of understanding the determinants of cyberaggression and highlights the need for further research to develop effective strategies for prevention and intervention in digital environments. \nKeywords: anonymity\, appetitive cybermotives\, cyberaggression \nAbout the Speaker: Dr. Shanu Shukla is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellow at the Interdisciplinary Research Team on Internet and Society (IRTIS)\, Faculty of Social Studies\, Masaryk University\, Brno\, Czech Republic.

SUMMARY:Sanskrit Studies Talk| Andrew Ollett  | 2nd Dec
DESCRIPTION:About the Talk:\nReading Between the Lines: \nLetters in literature almost always occasion reflection on literature. This talk will look at a type of scene\, found often in Indian plays of the first millennium\, in which letters exceed their “literal” meaning\, telling us more than what they actually say. The scene comes in two forms: one in which a letter intended to be secret is made public (originating\, it seems\, from Kālidāsa’s Vikramōrvaśīya)\, and one in which characters read between the lines to determine something left unsaid in the letter itself (originating\, it seems\, from Māyurāja’s Udāttarāghava). We will focus on the metaliterary implications of such scenes. \n  \nAbout the Speaker:\nAndrew Ollett is Associate Professor at University of Chicago. He studies the intellectual cultures of premodern South Asia\, Southeast Asia and China\, using textual materials from an impressive range of languages. Andrew has published a monograph on the linguistic literary history of Prakrit – Language of the Snakes\, a translation of the 9th century Prakrit romance Lilavai\, and a critical edition-translation of the Prakrit textbook of poetics Alaá¹…kāradappaṇō.    His current projects cover several areas: theories of memory\, writing cultures in South Asia\, and pragmatics in Mimamsa and Sanskrit Poetics. Andrew is also an editor of NESAR – an open-access journal of South Asian studies. \n
