upward Social comparison and state anxiety as mediators between passive Social Network Site usage and online compulsive buying among women
Addictive Behaviors, 2020Co-Authors: Yueli Zheng, Qingqi Liu, Xiujuan Yang, Ran Zhou, Gengfeng Niu, Zongkui ZhouAbstract:Abstract Although Social Network Site (SNS) usage has been shown to be related to online compulsive buying among women, little is known about the mediating mechanisms underlying this association. Based on the Interaction of Person-Affect-Cognition-Execution model (I-PACE) for addictive behaviors and Social comparison theory, the present study examined the mediating roles of upward Social comparison and state anxiety in the link between passive SNS usage and online compulsive buying among female undergraduate students. A sample of 799 Chinese female undergraduate students (mean age = 19.86 years, SD = 1.63) were recruited to complete questionnaires measuring passive SNS usage, upward Social comparison on SNS, state anxiety, and online compulsive buying. After controlling for online shopping experience, the results showed that passive SNS usage was positively associated with online compulsive buying; upward Social comparison and state anxiety partially mediated this link, which contained three mediating pathways – the separate mediating effect of upward Social comparison and state anxiety, and the sequential mediating effect of upward Social comparison and state anxiety. These findings can advance our understanding of how passive SNS usage is related to online compulsive buying among female undergraduate students. Limitations and implications of this study are discussed.

passive Social Network Site use and subjective well being among chinese university students a moderated mediation model of envy and gender
Personality and Individual Differences, 2017Co-Authors: Zongkui Zhou, Qian Ding, Yongxin Zhang, Hua Wei, Feng HuangAbstract:Abstract Research has revealed that passive Social Network Site (SNS) use might undermine subjective well-being. However, less is known about the mediating and moderating mechanisms underlying this relationship. The current study tested the mediation effect of envy in the association between passive SNS use and low subjective well-being, and whether this mediating process was moderated by gender. A sample of 707 Chinese university students (mean age = 19.06 years, SD = 1.12) completed anonymous questionnaires regarding passive SNS use, envy, and subjective well-being. Results revealed that the association between passive SNS use and low subjective well-being was mediated by envy. Moreover, the mediating effect of envy was moderated by gender, with the effect being stronger for females. These findings contribute to our understanding of how and for whom passive SNS use predict low subjective well-being, and suggest the need to take gender into account in prevention and intervention programs for problematic SNS use.

passive Social Network Site use and subjective well being
Computers in Human Behavior, 2016Co-Authors: Wu Chen, Cuiying Fan, Qinxue Liu, Zongkui Zhou, Xiaochun XieAbstract:The present study examined whether self-esteem mediated the relationship between passive Social Network Site use (SNS) and subjective well-being, and whether this mediating process was moderated by effortful control. 451 college students (mean age=21.51 years, SD=1.47) in Hubei province, China, completed anonymous questionnaires regarding passive SNS use, subjective well-being, self-esteem and effortful control. The results showed that the negative association between passive Social Network Site use and subjective well-being was mediated by self-esteem. Moreover, the mediating effect of self-esteem was moderated by effortful control, with the mediating effect being stronger for individuals with low effortful control than for those with high effortful control. These findings can be beneficial to our understanding of how and when passive SNS use impacts college students well-being. Passive Social Network Site use was negatively associated with subjective well-being.Self-esteem mediated the effect of passive Social Network Site use on subjective well-being.Effortful control moderated the mediation effect of self-esteem.

it s complicated a systematic review of associations between Social Network Site use and romantic relationships
Computers in Human Behavior, 2017Co-Authors: Holly M Rus, Jitske TiemensmaAbstract:Social Network Site (SNS) use may have important implications for romantic relationships. This systematic literature review aims to (a) identify theory-based approaches for studying associations between SNS use and romantic relationships, (b) identify key romantic relationship constructs measured in relation to SNS use, (c) synthesize the mechanisms by which SNS use may influence and be influenced by romantic relationships, and (d) discuss improved methods for guiding future research. Twenty-six peer-reviewed articles published in English from 2000 to 2015 that include measures of a romantic relationship construct as an outcome or predictor of SNS-related behavior for someone in a romantic relationship comprise this review. Studies are categorized as focusing on individual characteristics, relationship characteristics, or behavioral actions. Overall, findings indicate underdevelopment of SNS-related theory, and suggest that SNS behaviors may both influence and be influenced by individual and relationship characteristics such as adult attachment style, SNS-induced jealousy, relationship satisfaction and commitment, and partner identity overlap. Gender appears to influence associations between SNS use and relationship constructs, particularly in relation to interpreting ambiguous information about a partner. Further, SNSs may serve a maintenance function within romantic relationships. Directions for future research include assessing multiple SNSs in diverse samples and standardizing measurement of SNS behaviors. Review synthesizes existing SNS use and romantic relationship literature.Identifies theory-based approaches for studying associations.Shows the need for standardizing measurement in this area of research.Gender influences the interplay between SNS use and romantic relationships.SNS use may both benefit and harm romantic relationships.

passive Social Network Site use and adolescent materialism upward Social comparison as a mediator
Social Behavior and Personality, 2020Co-Authors: Qingqi LiuAbstract:We examined the role of upward Social comparison in the relationship between passive Social Network Site use and adolescent materialism. A sample of 718 Chinese adolescents completed measures of passive Social Network Site use, upward Social comparison, and materialism. Correlational analysis results showed that passive Social Network Site use was significantly correlated with upward Social comparison and adolescent materialism. In addition, regression analysis results showed that passive Social Network Site use significantly predicted adolescent materialism through the mediation of upward Social comparison. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Social media marketing in tourism education insights into the development and value of a Social Network Site for a higher education institution in tourism
Journal of Vacation Marketing, 2012Co-Authors: Anita Zehrer, Alice GrabmullerAbstract:Information and communication technology has increasingly gained importance in marketing of the tourism and travel industry. Social media have literally become an integral part of the society and as such have gained increasing interest beyond industries such as tourism. In higher education, we have seen a trend towards a rather slow adaptation of new technologies for instance in online instruction; however, the opportunities for creating and sharing knowledge in an education context should not be neglected. Social Network Sites are the fastest growing and most popular of the Internet-based technologies; recent statistics show that many Facebook users are students and that a great deal of communication between students happens online. This article investigates a higher educational institution in Austria, which actively links with their students on a Social Network Site for marketing purposes, presents its development and provides the results of an online user survey. Results indicate that among Social netw...
