“…For instance, Chou and Ting (2003) found that users who have experienced flow state in using cyber-games are more likely to be addicted. Park and Hwang (2009) also found that flow experience plays a significant role in developing online addiction. In the context of the present study, with large amounts of unstructured time and relative easy access to Internet-enabled technologies, adolescent students who experience the flow state during their Internet usage are particularly susceptible to Internet addiction-related problems (Watters et al, 2013;Yang & Tung, 2007).…”

“…It can also facilitate the development of a ''bad habit,'' which can help forming a pathological dependency on the use of the IT artifact (Chou & Ting, 2003;Turel & Serenko, 2012). Indeed, evidence from flow studies also suggests that individuals who are more involved in a flow state in an activity are more likely to develop a tendency to repeat the activity, which may eventually develop into a tendency toward addiction (Chou & Ting, 2003;Park & Hwang, 2009). For instance, Chou and Ting (2003) found that users who have experienced flow state in using cyber-games are more likely to be addicted.…”

“…Consequently, there is a need for PIU to be investigated alongside potential factors that might be associated with it. Based on empirical evidence, previous studies have suggested that increased feelings of presence and escapism are associated with addictive use of Internet applications such as online gaming and social media (Gao et al 2017;Park and Hwang 2009). Consequently, the purpose of the present study was to develop a complex model in which (i) Instagram features were independent variables (i.e., watching live streams and videos, looking at others' photographs, liking or commenting on others' posts, and others' likes and comments' on their posts), (ii) different types of presence that are felt by Instagram users (i.e., social, spatial, and co-presence) and Instagram escapism were mediator variables, and (iii) PIU was the outcome variable.…”

The use of social networking sites is becoming increasingly popular. Although there are many studies investigating the problematic use of social networking sites such as Facebook, little is known about problematic Instagram use (PIU) and factors related to it. The present study developed a complex model in order to examine the mediating role of perceived feeling of presence (i.e., social, spatial, and co-presence) and escapism between using different Instagram features and PIU. A total of 333 Instagram users from a high school and a state university, aged between 14 and 23 years (M age = 17.74 years, SD = 2.37, 61% female), completed a "paper-andpencil" questionnaire comprising measures of social presence, spatial presence, co-presence, Instagram escapism, and PIU. In addition, frequency of use of five different Instagram features (i.e., watching live streams; watching videos; looking at posted photographs; liking, commenting on others' posts; and getting likes and comments from others) were assessed using a 7-point Likert scale. Analysis indicated that watching live streams was indirectly associated with PIU via escapism, spatial presence, and co-presence. Leaving likes and comments on others' posts was both directly and indirectly associated with PIU via co-presence and escapism. Escapism mediated the relationships between social and spatial presence and co-presence and PIU. The findings of the present study appear to indicate that a minority of individuals use Instagram problematically and that problematic Instagram use is associated with the frequency of watching live streams, liking, and commenting on others' posts on Instagram, being able to feel a higher sense of presence using Instagram, and using Instagram as an escape from reality.

“…There are already existing studies on sub-areas of DA (internet addiction [2] and game addiction [5,6]) which focus on the perception of users and those user characteristics which lead to DA. However, crucially, these studies do not focus on the peculiarities of the object on which DA is centred, i.e., the software.…”

Abstract. [Context and motivation] Digital Addiction, (hereafter referred to as DA), has become a serious issue that has a diversity of socio-economic side effects. [Question/problem] In spite of its high importance, DA got little recognition or guidance as to how software engineering should take it into account. This is in stark contrast to other domains known for traditional addiction (e.g., drugs, gambling, and alcohol) in which there are clear rules and policies on how to manufacture, market and sell the products. [Principal ideas/results] In this position paper, we suggest that software engineering in general and requirements engineering in particular need to consider DA as a first class concept in developing software systems.[Contribution] As an early step in this area, we conduct an empirical investigation of DA by reviewing the literature and analysing web discussion forums on the topic and use that to design a mind-map of its main causes. We also provide a basic model to articulate the DA problem from requirements perspective and elaborate research challenges for a future work.
