Lena Polanski | Joi

| Domain | Core Findings | Representative Sources | |--------|---------------|------------------------| | | JOI activates instruction‑based arousal pathways distinct from passive observation; enhances perceived control and reduces performance anxiety. | Miller & Hargreaves (2020); Sanchez et al. (2022). | | Media Studies | The “instructional gaze” blurs producer‑consumer boundaries; algorithms prioritize “high‑engagement” directive scripts. | Khan (2021); Lee & Patel (2023). | | Gender & Sexuality | JOI often reinforces heteronormative power dynamics , yet also provides space for subversive role‑play (e.g., gender‑fluid instruction). | Rossi (2019); Nguyen (2024). | | Technology & Ethics | Automated moderation struggles with distinguishing instructional language from harassment ; age‑verification APIs remain inconsistent. | O’Brien & Silva (2022); FTC Report (2025). |
