摘要: This paper tests whether geocaching, a real-world treasure hunt activity using GPS devices and clues provided by other participants, can be modeled as an addictive pursuit. Using over 36 million online logs posted more than 675,000 users in 2010, we find strong evidence that the follows pattern of rational addiction. The result has implications not only for this activity, but host social activities increasingly blur edges between communities activities.
