“…It is not uncommon for participants with high social presence to invest more in consuming virtual products [19]. In the previous research, researchers found that when people perceive a high social presence, they have a positive attitude to continue use behavior, such as with online games [12,20], online learning [21], SNS use [1,22], and online shopping [18]. With the connection of online games and SNS platforms, therefore, it is believed that perceived social presence has a direct and indirect effect on the sustainable use intention of MSNG players.…”

Mobile Social Network Games (MSNGs) are defined as a product that combines games and social network services (SNSs). Compared with games played individually, MSNGs offer additional enjoyment to users through competition or cooperation. Mobile phone games, which rely on SNS platforms, can develop a strong social presence for users. This study focuses on factors affecting the sustainable use intention of MSNGs. In our study, we chose social presence as our dependent variable and proved that the social presence perceived by players in MSNGs has a positive impact on the sustainable use intention through a series of mediator variables. Second, the game product itself can easily lead to player addiction; therefore, in this study, we use the flow theory—perceived enjoyment and concentration—as our mediator variables. The results showed that perceived enjoyment and concentration are important factors driving the attitude towards MSNGs and that attitude presents a significant positive effect on sustainable use intention. This study enhances the current understanding of sustainable use intention of MSNGs and provides practical implication for MSNG development strategies and the theoretical implication.

Frente as mudanças na estrutura populacional, somada às alterações tecnológicas advindas do crescimento da utilização de redes sociais virtuais (RSV), no dia a dia das pessoas, faz-se necessário uma melhor compreensão sobre o uso destas redes por idosos. Para realizar tal análise, é de grande relevância que se aprofundem estudos sobre os fatores que motivam este público ao uso das RSV. A academia começou a explorar as características dos usuários de RSV e os motivos de sua utilização. No entanto, a maioria dos estudos tem se limitado a estudar um grupo específico de usuários - os jovens - deixando, desta forma, lacunas a respeito de outros grupos etários, como os idosos. Além disso, há um enfoque em tecnologia e inovação e não especificamente na utilização somente de RSV. Neste contexto, surgiu o interesse em conduzir uma pesquisa com o objetivo de identificar as principais motivações que levam os idosos a adotarem o uso de RSV em seu cotidiano. Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa exploratória descritiva, de natureza qualitativa com uma amostra de 21 idosos que possuem perfil em RSV. Os resultados apontaram que uso das RSV proporciona aos idosos, experiências positivas, principalmente relacionadas como um recurso para entretenimento e contato com familiares e amigos. A facilidade de comunicação, favorece para que os idosos possuam uma maior e melhor rede de relações, em especial, para que o contato com a família ocorra com mais facilidade e que a saudade entre os membros seja minimizada.
