Entertainment 2.0? The role of intrinsic and extrinsic need satisfaction for the enjoyment of Facebook use.
Abstract
While intrinsic motivation has received broad attention in recent entertainment research, the effects of extrinsic motivation, such as social pressure to use media, on media enjoyment remain unknown. Based on an online-survey (N = 230), this study tested the effects of intrinsic need satisfaction and perceived social pressure on the enjoyment of Facebook use with structural equation modeling. The results reveal complex effects of extrinsic motivation: While social pressure negatively affected autonomy need satisfaction, it was positively related to competence and relatedness need satisfaction. This study is the first to develop and test a theoretical model of entertainment experience in the context of social media use and to theoretically integrate the role of extrinsic need satisfaction in media enjoyment.

Basic psychological need satisfaction has been linked to the use of both interactive media and non-interactive media.
“Moreover, basic psychological need satisfaction has been linked to the use of both interactive media, such as video games or social media (e.g., Ryan et al., 2006; Reinecke et al., 2014; Johnson et al., 2020) and non-interactive media, such as movies, TV series, or video clips (e.g., Adachi et al., 2018; Granow et al., 2018).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
