“…The conclusions of the relevant empirical studies are also consistent with our results. Social ostracism could increase individual aggression (42)(43)(44), and later experimental studies found that social ostracism in cyberspace would also lead to an increase in individual aggressive behavior (9,45). For example, DeBono and Muraven's (46) experimental study found that feelings of disrespect caused by social ostracism could predict individual aggression; Chen et al (47) found that ostracism could predict aggression through the mediated model, and fatalistic belief played a moderating role.…”

PurposeThis study used questionnaire survey to explore the influence of cyber-ostracism on the aggressive behavior of college students. Specifically, this study explored the mediation role of the basic psychological needs satisfaction, and explored the moderating role of self-integrity.MethodAn online questionnaire was designed through a questionnaire website, which was linked and transferred to college students nationwide. 377 valid questionnaires were obtained after excluding invalid questionnaires.ResultsCyber-ostracism had a significant positive predictive effect on the basic psychological needs satisfaction; Basic psychological needs satisfaction play a mediation role between cyber-ostracism and aggression. Self-integrity moderates the association between basic psychological needs and aggression.

“…The fear of isolation reflects a fundamental human need for love and belongingness. Studies reveal that when people feel socially isolated or excluded, they often experience anxiety, loneliness, and other distressing emotions [43]. When relationship bonds are insecure or absent, fear of being alone motivates efforts to restore belongingness [44].…”

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs has long been a cornerstone in understanding human motivation, categorizing needs from physiological to self-actualization. However, recent research has challenged this framework, suggesting that fear, rather than instinct and desire, is the primary motivator underlying these needs. This paper introduces a fear-based reconceptualization of Maslow's Hierarchy, proposing that fear of death, uncertainty, isolation, inferiority, and conformity serves as the foundational drivers of human motivation. From an evolutionary perspective, these fears have shaped our behavior and decision-making throughout history. This reconceptualization offers a fresh perspective on human motivation, highlighting the role of fear reduction rather than desire fulfillment. It has practical implications across diverse domains, from marketing and education to technology adoption and healthcare. However, this concept requires further empirical validation, consideration of cultural variations, and acknowledgment of alternative perspectives to enhance its academic rigor. Nonetheless, it opens new avenues for understanding and optimizing human behavior and provides a unique lens for exploring consciousness in artificial intelligence.

“…Although discontinuous usage intentions are becoming increasingly prevalent among social media users [ 16 , 17 ], there is still a lack of understanding about the specific factors and mechanisms that contribute to this trend, particularly among users of pan-entertainment mobile live broadcast platforms. While some previous studies have identified several factors associated with discontinuous usage intentions in social media [ 18 , 19 , 20 ], little attention has been paid to the psychological mechanisms that underlie this behavior among Chinese users of pan-entertainment mobile live broadcast platforms. Given the popularity of these platforms in China, which has the world’s largest mobile internet users [ 21 ], it is essential to understand the unique factors that influence discontinuous usage intentions among this user group.…”

The current body of literature indicates a growing trend of discontinuous usage intentions among users of social media platforms. While several factors affecting discontinuous usage intentions have been explored in previous research, the specific factors and mechanisms impacting discontinuous usage intentions among users of pan-entertainment mobile live broadcast platforms remain undefined. This study aims to clarify these factors and mechanisms and to provide both theoretical and practical guidance to users to encourage rational usage of the platform, as well as support the optimization of innovative services offered by the platform’s operator. This study, which is grounded in the theoretical framework of “Cognition-Emotion-Behavior intention,” develops an influencing mechanism model based on cognitive dissonance and self-efficacy. A total of 340 valid samples were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using a structural equation model, which revealed that information overload, service overload, and user addiction had a positive impact on cognitive dissonance, which was moderated by self-efficacy. Cognitive dissonance also had a positive impact on discontinuous usage intentions, again moderated by self-efficacy. These findings expand upon previous research on discontinuous usage intentions among social media users and offer insights into the underlying psychological mechanisms among users of pan-entertainment mobile live broadcast platforms. Additionally, the study provides valuable information for practitioners to consider in the design of the platform, with the ultimate goal of improving user experience and promoting retention.
