“…We analyzed the effects of offline belonging to priority groups using similar measurement as many previous studies that have addressed young people’s online behavior (e.g., Miller et al, 2021 ; Savolainen et al, 2020 ) . We used a composite variable that was combined from three items: “How strongly do you feel you belong to each of the following: (a) family, (b) friendship group, (c) school or work community?” The scale ranged from 1 ( not at all ) to 10 ( very strongly ).…”

Gambling is a potential hazard to life satisfaction, yet peer relationships online might buffer this risk. This study analyzed the ways problem gambling is associated with life satisfaction as well as the extent to which the use of online-gambling community participation and, alternatively, offline belonging affect this association. A web-based survey was conducted among people aged 15–25 in Finland (n = 1,200), the United States (n = 1,212), South Korea (n = 1,192), and Spain (n = 1,212). The main variables included life satisfaction, problem gambling measured by the South Oaks Gambling Screen, online-gambling community participation, and offline belonging. Controls included compulsive internet use, hazardous drinking, psychological distress, income, age, and gender. Linear regression models were employed with country interactions. Results showed problem gambling had a negative relationship with life satisfaction, but the association was explained by control variables. Online-gambling community participation had a positive relationship with life satisfaction, especially among pathological gamblers who had poor offline relationships. Country comparisons revealed that the direct effect of excessive gambling and the compensating effect of online-gambling communities were most prominent in Finland.

“…Prior studies (e.g., Miller et al, 2021 ; Wei & Liu, 2020 ) have addressed the importance of homophily in promoting social and friendship relationships between individuals of the same attributes and characteristics. In an online context, the application of homophily has been also studied extensively as an essential component of relational development, especially in social networks and collaborative environments (Solomon et al, 2019 ; Xu & Zhou, 2020 ).…”

Virtual learning environments have been recognized as an area of particular importance by which educators can use to improve desirable learning behaviours. Investigating the impact of different virtual environments on learners’ behaviours has become the centre of attention of researchers, especially during COVID-19. The homophily effect of avatar-identity on individuals’ perceptions of an environment can be a key for understanding their learning behaviours. This study examined the relationship between key constructs related to avatar homophily (background and attitude) and learners’ flow and exploratory behaviour. An online survey was distributed to 157 students (93 males and 64 females with age ranging from 19 to 21 years) who took part in an online learning activity using an avatar-mediated environment (Second Life). The results showed that users’ flow experience can be influenced by the function of perceived background and attitude homophily in an avatar-mediated environment. Flow experience was found to mediate the relationship between avatar homophily and learners’ exploratory behaviour. This study offers a conceptual understanding of the relationship between homophily and individual’s flow state.
