“…In interpersonal relationships, out‐closeness centrality signifies actively working to form and maintain relationships with others, and is described as a characteristic containing sociability. It is also explained as having a characteristic of actively forming and expanding on interpersonal relationships through structural means that make it easier to contact others (Kim et al., 2019 ). This contributes to forming relationships online, sharing others’ interests, expressing one's feelings, and acting proactively to build a close relationship.…”

“…Such results are supported by a number of previous studies. Kim et al (2019) analyzed the centrality of SNS, which showed outcloseness centrality to have a negative correlation with drinking and smoking. This study reported that individuals who attempted to be close with others had a lower degree of experiencing drinking or smoking, and explained that such tendency to refrain from smoking was linked to the desire to form a close relationship with others.…”

Purpose:The purpose of this study was to provide basic information about the analysis of the correlation between online friendship network and internet game disorder among university students.Methods: Study subjects were 77 university students. For analysis of online friendship among them, social network analysis was performed and the analysis of degree, closeness, and betweenness centrality was measured. Assessment of internet game disorder was done using the Korean version of Internet Gaming Disorder Scale.Results: As per the results, the positive correlation showed between in-closeness centrality and internet gaming disorder (IGD) and the negative correlation showed between out-closeness centrality and internet gaming disorder. Conclusions:Online friendship is considered to contribute to the changes of internet game disorder level. Thus, in the relationship between online friendship and internet game disorder, closeness centrality should be considered, and causal relation analysis should be performed in further studies.

“…Adolescence is when peer relationships become the center of social relationships, so it is common for adolescents to spend less time with parents and more time with peers ( Kim et al, 2019 ). For adolescents, online game play is one of their playing cultures, and it becomes the most crucial space where they make friends and experience peer attachment.…”

Role of social capital in adolescents’ online gaming: A longitudinal study focused on the moderating effect of social capital between gaming time and psychosocial factors

et al. 2022

Adolescents often create social relationships with their gaming peers who take on the role of offline friends and peer groups. Through collaboration and competition in the games, the social relationships of adolescents are becoming broader and thicker. Although this is a common phenomenon in online games, few studies have focused on the formation and roles of social capital among adolescent gamers. In particular, longitudinal research that examines the role of social capital in terms of influencing gaming time on adolescent gamers’ psychosocial factors has been minimal. This study was designed to fill this gap to see the long-term effect of social capital among adolescent gamers. Specifically, by using the three-year longitudinal data involving 403 adolescents, we analyzed the effect of gaming time on psychological factors (i.e., loneliness, depression, self-esteem, and life satisfaction) with the moderating role of social capital. Results showed that social capital played a crucial moderating role. In the higher social capital group, gaming time enhanced the degree of self-esteem and life satisfaction. However, a vicious circle was found in the lower social capital group: Gaming time increased the degree of depression but decreased self-esteem, which in turn led to increase in gaming time. These results indicate that games work as an important tool for social capital cultivation among adolescent gamers, which imply successful cultivation of social capital is a key to positive gaming effects. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

“…Previous studies that attempted big data-based network analysis on adolescents had considered their peer relationships, smoking and drinking experiences [ 12 ], and peer networks according to their physical factors [ 9 ], and used semantic network analysis for assessing the knowledge structure of students with severe and multiple disabilities [ 13 ]. Another study on physical activity and exercise in school-aged youth aimed to provide a solution by analyzing a large number of scientific articles using text mining [ 14 ].…”

Adolescents are increasingly interested in weight control; hence, proper health education is important for helping them control their weight properly. This study was designed to pick out social media words that express adolescents’ diet behaviors, and identify the associations and types between such words and the behaviors. It used text-mining techniques and semantic network analysis for related big data collected from the Internet on adolescents’ diet behaviors. Text mining was used to extract meaningful information from unstructured text data, whereas semantic network analysis was used to understand the relationships between keywords. The top five keywords were “obesity,” “health,” “exercise,” “eat,” and “increase” in online news, and “exercise,” “eat,” “weight loss,” “obesity,” and “health” in blogs. The betweenness centrality of “appearance” was particularly higher than that of other centralities in online news. As a result of the CONCOR analysis, eight clusters each were identified in online news and blogs. This study’s results will serve as a basis for weight management-related intervention strategies, reflecting the perspectives of adolescents. It also has significance as basic data to provide correct information, and establish desirable weight control in the future.
