the ways to reduce SNS fatigue focusing on overload

Abstract

SNS fatigue is a subjective and self-evaluated feeling of tiredness from SNS usage, and in recent years it has attracted attention as a negative influence of SNS. Users often engage in discontinuous use to escape SNS fatigue, but this is not always the best option for users who occasionally experience SNS fatigue. Stress factors for SNS fatigue can be divided into three categories: psychological, behavioral, and environmental. In particular, three psychological stressors, information overload, social overload, and system function overload, have shown large-scale correlations with SNS fatigue. This study focuses on the overload of users who sometimes feel SNS fatigue and identifies effective multiple account usage methods that can reduce SNS fatigue.
