Review of Studies on Technology-Enhanced Language Learning and Teaching (2020, background): “Language learners can construct a language identity, build a relationship with the target culture [13,47] or join a closed language-learning organization that use SNS to enhance communication and the exchange of knowledge among learners [46].”
Do you get tired of socializing? An empirical explanation of discontinuous usage behaviour in social network services (2016, methodology): “Items for social overload were adapted from Maier et al. (2015a).”
The technostress trifecta ‐ techno eustress, techno distress and design: Theoretical directions and an agenda for research (2019, background): “, 2014), to attend to expectations of others when using applications such as social media (Maier et al., 2014) or to deal with excess information and features (Zhang et al.”
Explaining the link between technostress and technology addiction for social networking sites: A study of distraction as a coping behavior (2019, methodology): “One way that individuals cope with stressors from use of SNS is by reducing the extent of use and even stopping use altogether (Maier et al. 2015b).”
Advances in Social Media Research: Past, Present and Future (2017, background): “Longitudinal research is thus always expected to offer a better understanding of the research problem when the intended behavioural reactions transfer into behaviour with time (Maier et al. 2015a).”
The effects of technostress and switching stress on discontinued use of social networking services: a study of Facebook use (2015, positive): “Furthermore, we contribute to research discussing exhaustion (Ayyagari et al., 2011; Maier et al., 2014) that even when SNS-exhaustion causes discontinuous usage intention significantly, switching-exhaustion determines the behavioural intention to an even higher extent.”

Research on information systems failures and successes: Status update and future directions (2014, neutral): “For non-organizational IS, such as social networking sites (e.g. Maier et al. 2012, 2014), the causes and consequences of negative user perceptions are also discussed.”
