In this study, we consider users' online communication rhythms (online social rhythms) as coupled oscillators in a complex social network. Users' rhythms may be entrained onto those of their friends, and macro-scale pattern of such rhythms can emerge. We investigated the entrainment in online social rhythms and long-range correlations of the rhythms using an avatar communication dataset. We indicated entrainment in online social rhythms to emerge if the strength of a new connection reaches a threshold. This entrainment spread via densely-connected clusters. Consequently, long-range correlations of online social rhythms extended to about 36\% of the network, although offline social life naturally restricts online social rhythms. This research supports an understanding of human social dynamics in terms of systems of coupled oscillators.

Negative work behavior (NWB) occurs with concerning frequency in virtual work environments. Despite their prevalence and a substantial, multidisciplinary research literature on virtual negative behaviors in general, we lack clear answers regarding if, how, and why conditions differentiating virtual (i.e., computer-mediated) from face-to-face (F2F) work impact perpetrators', victims', and bystanders' involvement in NWB. These questions remain because of an assumed isomorphism (i.e., identical form) within the literature on NWB in F2F and virtual work. We explain why we cannot assume that what is known about perpetrator engagement, victim experience, and bystander intervention from studying F2F NWB applies uniformly to virtual negative work behavior (VNWB). Specifically, we identify how eight conditions of the virtual workplace facilitate three psychological enablers (i.e., ambiguity, anonymity, and (un)accountability) of perpetrators', victims', and bystanders' involvement in VNWB. In doing so, this integrative conceptual review advances a coherent understanding of what is (un)known about VNWB, integrates fragmented theoretical literature, and guides practical intervention. Importantly, we identify limitations of existing research practices that threaten the validity and generalizability of empirical findings. If not addressed, these issues will continue to undermine theoretical development and empirical investigations of F2F NWB and VNWB. Finally, this review points to new areas of inquiry that will meaningfully advance the understanding of NWB in the modern, increasingly virtual workplace.

“…Various forms of intervention, such as involving synchronous communication, will need to be considered, although we considered the intervention to asynchronous communication in this study. The ratio of participants was tiny compared to the total number of active users (several hundred thousand active users of Pigparty over a six-month period [34]). Intervening with a more significant number of players or in density clusters may strengthen the ripple effect of the intervention.…”

The dynamics of coupled oscillators in a network are a significant topic in complex systems science. People with daily social rhythms interact through social networks in everyday life. This can be considered as a coupled oscillator in social networks, which is also true in online society (online social rhythms). Controlling online social rhythms can contribute to healthy daily rhythms and mental health. We consider controlling online social rhythms by introducing periodic forcing (pacemakers). However, theoretical studies predict that pacemaker effects do not spread widely across mutually connected networks such as social networks. We aimed to investigate the characteristics of the online social rhythms with pacemakers on an empirical online social network. Therefore, we conducted an intervention experiment on the online social rhythms of hundreds of players (participants who were pacemakers) using an avatar communication application ($N=416$). We found that the intervention had little effect on neighbors' online social rhythms. This may be because mutual entrainment stabilizes the neighbors' and their friends' rhythms. That is, their online social rhythms were stable despite the disturbances. However, the intervention affected on neighbors' rhythms when a participant and their neighbor shared many friends. This suggests that interventions to densely connected player groups may make their and their friends' rhythms better. We discuss the utilization of these properties to improve healthy online social rhythms.
