With the rapid growth and popularity of Social Streaming Apps (SSAs) worldwide, it is valuable for scholars to understand the links between immersive experience provided by SSA, users’ attitudes towards SSA, and the resultant SSA dependency. Although unexplored in the SSA context, previous research has indicated the significance of immersive experience and its influence on user’s specific behavior through user attitude. The present study employs Structural Equation Modelling, by using 459 samples from a survey, to explore how the intensity of immersive experience can influence the degree of user dependency on SSA. Results indicate that immersive experience is positively associated with users’ positive attitudes towards SSA, which would lead to SSA dependency. In addition, this study also found out that users’ favorable attitude partially mediates the relationship between immersive experience and solitary play dependency. Whereas, attitude fully mediated the relationship between five out of six dimensions of SSA dependency. Furthermore, to better comprehend the intervening relationships between immersive experiences, user attitude, SSA dependency, the study also conducted a moderation analysis taking frequency of use as a moderating variable. The results illustrate that a high frequency of use is a strong psychological indicator for SSA dependency. This supports the importance of considering actual behavior along with their psychological states when examining users’ immersive experience and their SSA dependency.

沉浸式体验的强度如何推动社交流媒体应用的依赖程度?具有中介和调节作用的实证评估

随着社交流媒体应用 (SSA) 在全球范围内的快速增长和普及,学者们有必要了解 SSA 提供的沉浸式体验、用户对 SSA 的态度以及由此产生的 SSA 依赖性之间的联系。尽管在 SSA 背景下尚未探索,但先前的研究表明沉浸式体验的重要性及其通过用户态度对用户特定行为的影响。本研究使用结构方程建模,通过使用来自调查的 459 个样本,探索沉浸式体验的强度如何影响用户对 SSA 的依赖程度。结果表明,沉浸式体验与用户对 SSA 的积极态度呈正相关,这会导致 SSA 依赖。此外,本研究还发现,用户的好感在沉浸式体验与单独游戏依赖之间的关系中起部分中介作用。而态度完全调节了 SSA 依赖的六个维度中的五个维度之间的关系。此外,为了更好地理解沉浸式体验、用户态度、SSA依赖性之间的干预关系,本研究还以使用频率为调节变量进行了调节分析。结果表明,高频率的使用是 SSA 依赖的强烈心理指标。这支持在检查用户的沉浸式体验和他们的 SSA 依赖性时考虑实际行为及其心理状态的重要性。态度完全调节了 SSA 依赖的六个维度中的五个维度之间的关系。此外,为了更好地理解沉浸式体验、用户态度、SSA依赖性之间的干预关系,本研究还以使用频率为调节变量进行了调节分析。结果表明,高频率的使用是 SSA 依赖的强烈心理指标。这支持在检查用户的沉浸式体验和他们的 SSA 依赖性时考虑实际行为及其心理状态的重要性。态度完全调节了 SSA 依赖的六个维度中的五个维度之间的关系。此外,为了更好地理解沉浸式体验、用户态度、SSA依赖性之间的干预关系,本研究还以使用频率为调节变量进行了调节分析。结果表明,高频率的使用是 SSA 依赖的强烈心理指标。这支持在检查用户的沉浸式体验和他们的 SSA 依赖性时考虑实际行为及其心理状态的重要性。该研究还以使用频率作为调节变量进行了调节分析。结果表明,高频率的使用是 SSA 依赖的强烈心理指标。这支持在检查用户的沉浸式体验和他们的 SSA 依赖性时考虑实际行为及其心理状态的重要性。该研究还以使用频率作为调节变量进行了调节分析。结果表明,高频率的使用是 SSA 依赖的强烈心理指标。这支持在检查用户的沉浸式体验和他们的 SSA 依赖性时考虑实际行为及其心理状态的重要性。
