From a platform perspective, most studies have concentrated on different aspects associated with fatigue and stress induced through the most notable online social media platforms, such as Facebook (Ravindran et al, 2014;Bright et al, 2015;Cramer et al, 2016;Dhir et al, 2019;Lee et al, 2019), Qzone (Zhang et al, 2016), and social media platforms in general (Logan et al, 2018;Lee et al, 2016;Pontes, 2017;Salo et al, 2017). In comparison, a handful number of studies have been conducted in the context of mobile instant messaging (MIM) apps (Shin and Shin, 2016;Sun et al, 2017;Xiao and Mou, 2019) Most of these studies have been carried out with participants in developed economies, including the USA (Bright et al, 2015;Cramer et al, 2016), South Korea (Lee et al, 2016;Shin and Shin, 2016;Lim and Choi, 2017), Portugal (Pontes, 2017) and Finland (Salo et al, 2017).…”
