“…These include increased time spent online [56,58,59,95,96,98], early Internet exposure [94], positive outcome expectancy, low refusal self-efficacy of Internet use [98,103], online flow and online procrastination [54]. Furthermore, the usage of a number of different Internet applications has been linked to Internet addiction.…”

“…Miscellaneous classification criteria for Internet addiction have been used in a total of eight studies including adult samples [53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60]. All sample sizes were between 1000 and 2000 participants, with the exception of a sample of 16,925 regular Internet users in the Netherlands [53].…”

“…Of these, 14 studies used miscellaneous criteria to identify Internet addiction in adolescents [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52]. In addition to the adolescent samples, miscellaneous classification criteria for Internet addiction have been used in adult samples, including a total of eight studies [53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60]. Classifications vary tremendously, ranging from the adoption of official criteria for substance use disorders or pathological gambling, to no or few criteria relevant for an addiction diagnosis.…”

Abstract:In the last decade, Internet usage has grown tremendously on a global scale. The increasing popularity and frequency of Internet use has led to an increasing number of reports highlighting the potential negative consequences of overuse. Over the last decade, research into Internet addiction has proliferated. This paper reviews the existing 68 epidemiological studies of Internet addiction that (i) contain quantitative empirical data, (ii) have been published after 2000, (iii) include an analysis relating to Internet addiction, (iv) include a minimum of 1000 participants, and (v) provide a full-text article published in English using the database Web of Science. Assessment tools and conceptualisations, prevalence, and associated factors in adolescents and adults are scrutinised. The results reveal the following. First, no gold standard of Internet addiction classification exists as 21 different assessment instruments have been identified. They adopt official criteria for substance use disorders or pathological gambling, no or few criteria relevant for an addiction diagnosis, time spent online, or resulting problems. Second, reported prevalence rates differ as a consequence of different assessment tools and cut-offs, ranging from 0.8% in Italy to 26.7% in Hong Kong. Third, Internet addiction is associated with a number of sociodemographic, Internet use, and psychosocial factors, as well as comorbid symptoms and disorder in adolescents and adults. The results indicate that a number of core symptoms (i.e., compulsive use, negative outcomes and salience) appear relevant for diagnosis, which assimilates Internet addiction and other addictive disorders and also differentiates them, implying a conceptualisation as syndrome with similar etiology and components, but different expressions of addictions. Limitations include the exclusion of studies with smaller sample sizes and studies focusing on specific online behaviours. Conclusively, there is a need for nosological precision so that ultimately those in need can be helped by translating the scientific evidence established in the context of Internet addiction into actual clinical practice.

“…Absorption may also heighten sensitivity and responsiveness to goal derailing situational cues, as procrastination is associated with vulnerability to situational temptations (Dewitte & Schouwenburg, 2002;Sirois & Giguère, 2013). Finally, procrastination is a known correlate of problematic Internet behaviour including "cyberslacking" (LaVoie & Pychyl, 2001;Thatcher, Wretschko, & Fridjhon, 2008), a behaviour that can serve a moodregulating function and that is also frequent among individuals high in absorption (Cole & Hooley, 2013).…”

“…Hence, if using hotel websites can develop a state of flow in customers, they should be satisfied and inclined to continue visiting these websites. A number of scholars have discussed the usefulness of flow in predicting human behavior in online environments (Novak et al, 2003;Thatcher et al, 2008). Therefore, it is assumed that considering perceived flow along with the website quality can be useful to predict customer satisfaction and purchase intentions on hotel websites.…”

Purpose -This study aims to examine the relationships between hotel website quality, perceived flow, customer satisfaction and purchase intentions. Furthermore, this study also examines if perceived flow mediates the relationships between hotel website quality, customer satisfaction and purchase intentions. Design/methodology/approach -The stimulus-organism-response framework is used as the theoretical framework for this study. A total of 441 valid online questionnaires were collected to empirically test the measurement and structural model using partial least square path modeling approach. The study sample includes hotel guests who booked their hotels via online travel agencies and/or hotel websites. Findings -The findings confirm that hotel website quality influences customers' perceived flow, which in turn, influences their satisfaction and purchase intention. Moreover, perceived flow also mediates the relationships between hotel website quality, customer satisfaction and purchase intentions. Originality/value -Hotel website quality, perceived flow, customer satisfaction and purchase intentions altogether are not well understood in current literature despite the important implication for managers, academicians and consumers alike. This study contributes to the field of e-commerce marketing, retailing and e-tourism research.
