“…The last 20 years saw a paradigm shift in the conceptualization of addiction, suggesting that addictive behaviors can take place in alternative realms which may not necessarily involve the use of substances (i.e., behavioral addictions; APA, 2013; Burleigh et al, 2019 , Demetrovics and Griffiths, 2012 , Griffiths, 1996 , Griffiths, 2005 , Griffiths, 2017 , Kardefelt-Winther et al, 2017 , Sixto-Costoya et al, 2021 , West and Brown, 2013 , Wong et al, 2012 ). These include a range of diverse behaviors such as excessive online gambling ( Griffiths, 1995 , Montiel et al, 2021 ), hypersexual activity ( Carnes, 1983 ; Krueger, 2016 ), problematic internet use ( Anderson et al, 2017 , Stavropoulos et al, 2013 , Van Rooij et al, 2017 ), disordered gaming ( Pontes et al, 2021 , Stavropoulos et al, 2019 ), problematic social media use ( Pontes et al, 2018 , Schivinski et al, 2020 ), compulsive shopping ( Andreassen et al, 2015 , Müller et al, 2021 ), and problematic exercising ( Beck Lichtenstein and Jensen, 2016 , Beck Lichtenstein et al, 2017 ).…”

“…Apart from the rates of prevalence, empirical evidence and discussions prior to the COVID-19 pandemic show that examining these behavioral addictions is important. For example, the 5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) has begun to acknowledge the importance of behavioral addictions [ 38 , 39 ], and the social impacts of behavioral addictions have led to growing interest that need further evidence investigating its pathophysiological mechanism [ 40 – 42 ], comorbidity between psychiatric disorders and behavioral addictions [ 43 , 44 ], and the potential treatments of behavioral addictions [ 45 , 46 ]. Therefore, the evidence and discussions prior to COVID-19 pandemic additionally support the importance of investigating behavioral addictions during the pandemic.…”

Estimation of Behavioral Addiction Prevalence During COVID-19 Pandemic: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

et al. 2022

Purpose of Review The COVID-19 pandemic changed people’s lifestyles and such changed lifestyles included the potential of increasing addictive behaviors. The present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to estimate the prevalence of different behavioral addictions (i.e., internet addiction, smartphone addiction, gaming addiction, social media addiction, food addiction, exercise addiction, gambling addiction, and shopping addiction) both overall and separately. Recent Findings Four databases (PubMed, Scopus, ISI Web of Knowledge, and ProQuest) were searched. Peer-reviewed papers published in English between December 2019 and July 2022 were reviewed and analyzed. Search terms were selected using PECO-S criteria: population (no limitation in participants’ characteristics), exposure (COVID-19 pandemic), comparison (healthy populations), outcome (frequency or prevalence of behavioral addiction), and study design (observational study). A total of 94 studies with 237,657 participants from 40 different countries (mean age 25.02 years; 57.41% females). The overall prevalence of behavioral addiction irrespective of addiction type (after correcting for publication bias) was 11.1% (95% CI: 5.4 to 16.8%). The prevalence rates for each separate behavioral addiction (after correcting for publication bias) were 10.6% for internet addiction, 30.7% for smartphone addiction, 5.3% for gaming addiction, 15.1% for social media addiction, 21% for food addiction, 9.4% for sex addiction, 7% for exercise addiction, 7.2% for gambling addiction, and 7.2% for shopping addiction. In the lockdown periods, prevalence of food addiction, gaming addiction, and social media addiction was higher compared to non-lockdown periods. Smartphone and social media addiction was associated with methodological quality of studies (i.e., the higher the risk of boas, the higher the prevalence rate). Other associated factors of social media addiction were the percentage of female participants, mean age of participants, percentage of individuals using the internet in country, and developing status of country. The percentage of individuals in the population using the internet was associated with all the prevalence of behavioral addiction overall and the prevalence of sex addiction and gambling addiction. Gaming addiction prevalence was associated with data collection method (online vs. other methods) that is gaming addiction prevalence was much lower using online methods to collect the data. Summary Behavioral addictions appeared to be potential health issues during the COVID-19 pandemic. Healthcare providers and government authorities should foster some campaigns that assist people in coping with stress during COVID-19 pandemics to prevent them from developing behavioral addictions during COVID-19 and subsequent pandemics.

“…Following Rodríguez-López et al ( 2020 ), the search query applied in the present work is the following: TI=(restaurant*) OR AK=(restaurant*), where TI and AK stand for the title field and author keywords field, respectively. The search in these fields is preferred in previous studies (Hernández et al 2017 ; Sixto-Costoya et al 2021 ; Villa et al 2018 ) since it helps to avoid non-pertinent entries and achieve greater accuracy in the results (Alnajem et al 2021 ; Gao and Ruan 2018 ). The review is based on four sub-databases within the WoSCC, namely Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED), Social Science Citation Index (SSCI), Art & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI), and Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI).…”

Tracing knowledge evolution flows in scholarly restaurant research: a main path analysis

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Restaurant research has received significant attention globally. This article aims to examine the evolution and the knowledge structure of restaurant research over the past decades. We also investigate the restaurant research hotspots and knowledge diffusion paths based on 1489 articles extracted from the Web of Science database. Furthermore, we conduct a keyword co-occurrence network analysis and four different types of main path analyses to scrutinize the historical formation of the restaurant research. Results revealed that restaurant research mainly focused on five research themes: consumer behavior, consumer satisfaction, social media, green restaurants, and authenticity. While consumer behavior has been the mainstream topic, the focus of this line of research has recently shifted from traditional to luxury and ethnic restaurants. Furthermore, our analysis has detected several recent changes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. By examining the knowledge structure of restaurant research, we reveal its knowledge diffusion paths and provide avenues for future research in this vast and interdisciplinary research field.
