“…Focusing on three relationship-specific sources of social support (family, friends, and romantic partners) in a sample of undergraduate students, Lee and Goldstein (2016) found that only support from friends buffered the association between stress and loneliness. Moreover, only support from family, friends, and faculty provides a protective function for college students against stress (Bland, Melton, Welle, & Bigham, 2012). Conversely, as for general social support, researcher did not find a buffering role of general social support on college students' mental health (e.g., Sherry, Law, Hewitt, Flett, & Besser, 2008).…”

Background and aims Perceived stress has been regarded as a risk factor for problematic social networking site (SNS) use, yet little is known about the underlying processes whereby confounding variables may mediate or moderate this relationship. To answer this question, this study examined whether depression and anxiety mediated the relationship between perceived stress and problematic SNS use, and whether these mediating processes were moderated by psychological resilience and social support. Methods Participants were 641 Chinese college students who completed anonymous questionnaires measuring perceived stress, depression/anxiety, psychological resilience, social support, and problematic SNS use. Results The results showed that (a) depression/anxiety mediated the relationship between perceived stress and problematic SNS use; (b) the mediating effects of depression/anxiety on the association between perceived stress and problematic SNS use were moderated by psychological resilience. Specifically, the mediating effects of depression/anxiety were stronger for individuals with lower levels of psychological resilience, compared with those with higher levels of psychological resilience; and (c) the mediating effects of depression/anxiety were not moderated by social support, although social support was negatively related to depression/anxiety. Discussion and conclusion This study can contribute to a better understanding of how and when perceived stress increases the risk of problematic SNS use, and implies the importance of enhancing psychological resilience in preventing problematic SNS use.

“…In qualitative studies, media use emerged as one of the most important coping behaviors in very different contexts (e.g., I. R. Hunter & Gillen, 2009;Lapp et al, 2010). Quantitative studies have also found media use to be one of the most used coping behaviors (e.g., Bland et al, 2012;. This underlines the importance of studying media use for coping purposes both as a motive for media use and as a behavior in the stress management process.…”

Mobile phones, television, internet services, games, and social media offer diverse and numerous opportunities for coping with stress in everyday life. Different disciplines have contributed to answering how these media are used for coping. Consequently, fragmented and disconnected research perspectives have evolved. To improve integration, we conducted a scoping review. A total of 318 articles met the inclusion criteria. Three main perspectives on media use for coping were identified: (1) stress and coping, (2) mood management and emotion regulation, and (3) media addiction and problematic media use. Each perspective has contributed to different aspects of the use of media for coping. Six advancements are proposed, which attempt to integrate perspectives and to guide future research on coping using media.

“…Every individual has an optimal capacity to tolerate stress, and as the stress levels increase, an individual adopts appropriate coping strategies to reduce it (Bland et al, 2012). Finding escape through playing fantasy digital games is such a coping strategy to reduce stress (Kardefelt-Winther, 2014).…”

“…Owing to their insecure attachment orientation, anxious individuals are highly prone to feel stressed in a social context (Galatzer-Levy and Bonanno, 2013). Due to experiencing high level of emotional stress, highly anxious individuals are more likely to adopt coping mechanisms to reduce such stress (Bland et al, 2012). Playing fantasy-based digital games could be a likely coping strategy for such a highly anxious gamer to escape from stress.…”

PurposeThis research aims to extend brand relationship theory to the domain of online gaming by augmenting the understanding of the role played by fantasy state in digital game in impacting gamers' immersive relationships with digital game brands. In this quest, the research examines how fantasy state in game (FSG) creates game brand immersion (GBI) through the mediation of emotional game brand attachment (EGBA) and the roles of individual's need for escapism (NE) and anxious attachment style (AAS) in moderating the aforementioned relationships.Design/methodology/approachThe research employs a pre-test followed by two quantitative studies. Quantitative data were analyzed using the PROCESS macro.FindingsResults from Study 1 illustrate that perceived fantasy in game generates EGBA, which, in turn, predicts GBI. Further, Study 2 establishes that the effect of fantasy in game on EGBA is moderated by gamer's NE. The moderating effect of NE is moderated by individual's AAS.Originality/valueValue of the study lies in extending consumer–brand relationship theory to digital gaming domain which enhances the understanding of how fantasy state in digital game can lead to GBI and the roles played by individual personality characteristics like escapism motivation and AAS in the process.
