Data obtained in laboratory settings is a valid but resource-demanding approach. Moreover, although aspects of both metacognition and metaemotion have been proposed to be important for socioemotional functioning, such associations have rarely been studied previously. This study aimed to examine the feasibility of a multimodal online-assessment of emotion recognition ability, and to investigate its associations with metacognition and metaemotion. The sample consisted of 106 students from three Swedish universities. The online-survey included a multimodal emotion recognition test (ERAM) with added trial-by-trial confidence judgments (to measure metacognition) and questionnaires related to metaemotion. Online-data showed great consistency with previous data collected in lab. Well-calibrated adults had higher emotion recognition accuracy than under-confident adults. Higher levels of negative metaemotions were associated with higher emotion recognition accuracy. In conclusion, online-assessments of emotional abilities may be a useful approach. Further research is required to understand relationships between metacognition, metaemotion, and emotion recognition ability more fully.

Cybercrime victimization is a pervasive and evolving threat in the digital age, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of its underlying dynamics and risk factors. This cross-sectional study explores the prevalence and risk factors of cybercrime victimization among Swedish adults, drawing insights from a diverse sample of 384 participants. The study examines demographic characteristics, educational backgrounds, financial circumstances, computer skills, protective measures, and victimization experiences through a combination of descriptive statistics, Fisher’s Exact Test, and logistic regression analysis. Key findings reveal significant correlations between gender, age, education level, income, computer skills, protective measures, and specific types of cybercrime victimization. Malware infection emerges as the most prevalent form of victimization, followed by sexual harassment, hacking, general harassment, and fraud. The study highlights the complex interplay between socioeconomic factors and victimization risk, and emphasizes the need for tailored interventions to enhance digital resilience and mitigate cybervictimization threats among Swedish adults. Future research directions include conducting larger-scale studies, exploring the effectiveness of protective measures, investigating polyvictimization, and examining age-related differences in cybercrime vulnerability.
