Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the similarities and differences between motivation and usage according to morphological differences between Facebook and Instagram. The formative differentiation of third-generation SNS such as intuitive image and limited network poses the necessity of recognizing individual service users as distinct groups in SNS research. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze the differences of motivation and usage, according to the motivation of using Facebook and Instagram by 255 university students. As a result, 7 factors were found as motivation for SNS use, and there were therein motivational differences between Facebook and Instagram users. This study is expected to contribute to the prediction of user's attitude change according to the morphological evolution of SNS in the future, and to expand the application to such related fusion research as GUI design and corporate PR marketing.

본 연구는 페이스북과 인스타그램의 형태적 차이에 따른 이용동기 및 사용행태의 공통점과 차이점을 분석하는데 그 목적이 있다. 직관적 이미지, 제한된 네트워크 등 3세대 SNS의 형태적 차별화는 SNS 연구에 있어 개별 서비스 이용자를 동질적 집단이 아닌 차별적 집단으로 인식해야 할 필요성을 제기한다. 따라서, 본 연구는 SNS 주이용 집단인 대학생 255명을 대상으로, 페이스북과 인스타그램에 대한 이용동기 및 이용동기에 따른 사용행태의 차이를 요인분석과 회귀분석을 통해 분석하였다. 연구결과, SNS 이용동기로 총 7개 요인이 도출되었으며, 페이스북과 인스타그램의 이용동기 및 이용 동기에 따른 사용행태(피드백 측면, 만족도 측면)의 차이가 밝혀졌다. 본 연구를 통해 향후 SNS의 형태적 진화에 따른 이용자의 태도변화를 예측하는데 기여함과 동시에, 형태적 속성을 기반으로 한 GUI 설계, 기업홍보 마케팅 등 관련 융복합연구로의 확대 적용을 기대한다.
