“…The elevated inclination towards SM also cultivates the fear of missing out (FOMO) among young adults [49], which led them to develop an emotional state of anxiety due to the fear that one is not included in perceived positive events that others were engaged in [50]. Although SM users tend to intentionally attract positive social feedback by filtering or editing their posts [35], [51], the satisfaction of receiving the desired feedback would not last long [52], and they would be falling into another FOMO state, craving for more positive social feedback, especially when people whom they considered significant have not provided them with any desired feedback [53]. This cycle would increase the anxiety to the students who experience it, due to the absence of physical connectivity that convinces them that their peers would always be there for them without them having to check on their SM account [54].…”

Anxiety and depression among university students were reported to be increased during the outbreak of CoVid-19. Various studies indicated that the phenomenon was triggered by the sudden enforcement of the studying-from-home (SFH) policy. Accordingly, we hypothesized that the students’ online learning efficacy (OLE) predicted the upsurge of the two mental health issues. However, SFH also elevated the students’ inclination towards social media (SM), and it brought further changes in some socio-psychological factors. We recruited 435 university students to respond to demographic items and the scales to measure factors such as perceived social support (PSS), societal mattering, and fear of missing out (FOMO) to test the hypothesis that OLE would no longer be a significant predictor of anxiety and depression when all the aforementioned variables are controlled for. The results of the hierarchical regression analyses supported our hypothesis on anxiety, while in predicting depression, OLE was still significant after controlling for the rest of the predictors. Societal mattering was the strongest protective factor against depression, whereas FOMO was the strongest risk factor of anxiety. Implications, limitations, and suggestions are discussed.

“…Our work advances the satiation literature, which previously has primarily studied solo experiences, with little attention to social factors in satiation. Some past work has shown that public (vs. private) experience can affect an individual’s ongoing hedonic judgments due to others admiring one’s chosen item (Chugani & Irwin, 2012), or scrutiny of the set of items chosen by one over time (Ratner & Kahn, 2002). In contrast, our theory does not rely on any admiration, scrutiny, or any such judgment that public consumption might encourage.…”

“…In contrast, our theory does not rely on any admiration, scrutiny, or any such judgment that public consumption might encourage. We emphasize mutual experience of the same thing with others (i.e., coexperience), rather than the public versus private distinction (Chugani & Irwin, 2012; Ratner & Kahn, 2002).…”

“…Research has shown that the shared attention state alters how stimuli are processed and judged (Boothby et al, 2014; Boothby et al, 2016; Shteynberg, 2010; Shteynberg & Apfelbaum, 2013; Shteynberg et al, 2014; Shteynberg, 2015), and that it can directly influence experienced affect (Wagner et al, 2015). Meanwhile, other work has documented social influence and emotional contagion in shared experiences (Raghunathan & Corfman, 2006; Ramanathan & McGill, 2007; Ratner & Kahn, 2002; Ratner & Hamilton, 2015), or the public nature of consuming among strangers (Chugani & Irwin, 2012). However, beyond this limited set of works, very little is known about experiencing as a group as it pertains to thoughts and enjoyment during the experience and whether to partake in, continue, or halt the experience.…”

Collective satiation: How coexperience accelerates a decline in hedonic judgments.

Individuals often mutually experience a stimulus with a relationship partner or social group (e.g., snacking with friends). Yet, little is currently understood about how a sense of coexperiencing affects hedonic judgments of experiences that unfold over time. Research on the shared attention state has suggested that hedonic judgments are intensified when individuals coexperience a stimulus (vs. experiencing it alone), and other related work has found that the social environment influences hedonic judgments in shared (vs. solo) experiences. Although this past work has focused on judgments of single instances of a stimulus, the present work examines how coexperience affects hedonic judgments of stimuli over time. This work documents the 'collective satiation effect' wherein satiation-a diminished enjoyment of pleasant stimuli with repeated experience-is accelerated by a sense of coexperiencing the stimulus with others. We propose that this happens because shared attention makes the repetitive nature of the experience more salient, by promoting and incorporating thoughts of others also repeatedly having the same shared experience. Five studies document the collective satiation effect, support the proposed mechanism, and show moderators of the effect. Taken together, this research contributes to an understanding of how the social environment influences the experience of hedonic stimuli, which has broad implications for the value individuals place on the time that they spend with others.

“…In Hedonic Adaptation literature most relevant to recommendation systems, studies consumption scenarios. [8]'s experiment lets students choose a sticker and attach it to an everyday object. Eliciting self-reported happiness with the sticker, the study finds a 4.5 point decline on a 100-point scale of reported happiness with a sticker in a 3-day interval.…”

Designing recommendation systems that serve content aligned with time varying preferences requires proper accounting of the feedback effects of recommendations on human behavior and psychological condition. We argue that modeling the influence of recommendations on people's preferences must be grounded in psychologically plausible models. We contribute a methodology for developing grounded dynamic preference models. We demonstrate this method with models that capture three classic effects from the psychology literature: Mere-Exposure, Operant Conditioning, and Hedonic Adaptation. We conduct simulation-based studies to show that the psychological models manifest distinct behaviors that can inform system design. Our study has two direct implications for dynamic user modeling in recommendation systems. First, the methodology we outline is broadly applicable for psychologically grounding dynamic preference models. It allows us to critique recent contributions based on their limited discussion of psychological foundation and their implausible predictions. Second, we discuss implications of dynamic preference models for recommendation systems evaluation and design. In an example, we show that engagement and diversity metrics may be unable to capture desirable recommendation system performance.
