7. CHAPTER 2 REVIEW OF RELATED LITETURE ABOUT TIKTOK
FOREIGN LITERATURE
United States TikTok (in Chinese: DouYin; formerly known as musical.ly) currently represents
one of the most successful Chinese social media applications in the world. Since its founding in
September 2016, TikTok has seen widespread distribution, in particular, attracting young users to
engage in viewing, creating, and commenting on “LipSync-Videos” on the app. Despite its success
in terms of user numbers, psychological studies aiming at an understanding of TikTok use are
scarce. This narrative review provides a comprehensive overview on the small empirical literature
available thus far. In particular, insights from uses and gratification theory in the realm of TikTok
are highlighted, and we also discuss aspects of the TikTok platform design. Given the many
unexplored research questions related to TikTok use, it is high time to strengthen research efforts
to better understand TikTok use and whether certain aspects of its use result in detrimental
behavioral effects. In light of user characteristics of the TikTok platform, this research is highly
relevant because TikTok users are often adolescents and therefore from a group of potentially
vulnerable individuals.

8. The associated literature and studies of the current investigation are presented in this part.
Tiktok is one of the various social networking sites that are available nowadays. Tiktok is a
social media network that boasts 800 million active members globally since its introduction in
2016. TikTok’s influence on students has provided them with a platform to entertain its viewers.
According to Dilon’s study (2021), TikTok, like other social media platforms, has its share of
influencers, and the 15-second video format attracts what is known as meme machines.
Influencers who make money off of views, likes, comments, and shares are known as meme
machines. When someone who is influenced by the app is pleased with how viewers react by
commenting or liking the published Tiktok, it is reported. According to Yang (2020), when
viewers “like'' a video on Tiktok, they are expressing their enthusiasm for the content, and if
they leave a remark, they are expressing their desire to connect and enhance one another’s
videos. Meanwhile, Iodice and Papapicco’s study (2021) demonstrates that they are theorizing a
distinct type of social impact, or “fun,” that is characteristic of the social network and the
period. But Fund also observed that negatively, TikTok is highly addictive, and many users,
especially teens, spend hours on it daily and it has become a serious distraction to students.
Simrin (2020) recognized that TikTok is a source of moral entertainment for young people, as
well as a platform for publicity, learning new things, and providing new opportunities for
volunteering and internship for students. On the other hand, she also recognized that TikTok is
designed to be addictive, saying “It’s incredibly easy to fall down the TikTok hole and suddenly
reemerge hours later having lost an entire day.”

young people as an outlet to express themselves through singing, dancing, comedy, and lip-syncing, and
allows users to create videos and share them across a community.
