We examined the relationship between the extent of Facebook usage and social well-being with consideration of cyberbullying involvement using a person-oriented approach. Survey data were collected from a sample of 312 secondary students from Grades 7 and 8 in Hong Kong. Levels of cyberbullying involvement, Facebook usage and perceived social support were investigated. Participants were classified into three clusters based on the different levels of Facebook usage and cyberbullying victimization through cluster analyses (i.e., frequent Facebook user/noncyberbullied victim, frequent Facebook user/cyberbullied victim, and uninvolved). Our results showed that frequent Facebook users who are cyberbullied tend to engage in cyberbullying perpetration significantly more than the frequent Facebook users who are not cyberbullied, even when the latter reported higher Facebook usage. This result provides some support for the idea that cyberbullying victimization has additional value on top of the level of usage in explaining one's participation in cyberbullying perpetration. As expected, frequent Facebook users who were not cyberbullied reported the highest perceived social support among the three groups. What is even more interesting is the equal level of perceived social support found between the cyberbullied victims and the uninvolved. Our results suggest that, although limiting adolescents' Internet use might reduce their risks of being involved in cyberbullying, it might also take away the potential benefits they could get from interacting with the online community. Benefits of using the person-oriented approach in the study of cyberbullying are discussed.

The popularity of social media has led to a variety of communicative behaviors among users. This study targeted Facebook as a representative social medial platform because it has the most subscribers in order to investigate factors that influence Facebook usage. In particular, because a person's behavior is based on how they are perceived by others, self-conscious behavior was examined in the study. Facebook usage and news consumption were examined to ascertain the effects of self-consciousness. An online survey was conducted to examine how private SC and public SC (SCs), affects Facebook usage (profiles and writing posts) and news consumption (clicking "like" and sharing news). 616 participants completed the survey, and results indicated that public SC was positively related to the degree of profile updating and post writing. On the other hand, private SC was positively related to the degree of news sharing. These results suggest that psychological elements significantly predict a user's behavior on Facebook.

As the usage of SNS has grown dramatically over the last years, it has been used in various sectors not just a tool for communication. In particular, corporate companies actively use Facebook as a tool for corporate marketing. Corporate companies communicate with their customers by providing service or events information. In this study, empirical analysis was carried out on corporate companies that are using Facebook as a marketing tool, thus finding out the influencing factors in continued usage of Facebook Fan Page users. In addition, analysis of the factors will be investigated according to continued usage of the users, where the user's intention will differ depending on how corporate companies operate and deal with the Facebook Fan Page. Factors affecting the user's satisfaction, perceived usefulness, and perceived playfulness were deducted through the analysis of the existing literature study on corporate company's continued intention on the usage of Facebook Fan Page. Accordingly, factor affecting this such as relationship, speed, content diversity, which are the media characteristics of the Facebook were deducted and finally hypothesized. In addition, the type of corporate company's Facebook Fan Page was divided into event type, communication type, information service type. And hence investigated the factors that differed from the continued usage depending on the type. Results analysis shows that perceived usefulness affected only relationship, speed, content diversity. Furthermore, analysis shows that corporate company's Fan Page of communication and event types are the factors that affect the usage intention which meant it only affected the perceived enjoyment. On the basis of this study, we are able to present an implication of value where corporate company use it as a marketing tool, through factors from continued usage of coroporate company's Facebook Fan Page users.

Many empirical studies indicate that SNS use has increased substantially over the last few years. People use SNSs for social purposes, mostly related to the maintenance of existing offline contacts. Such usage may have led to compulsive use of SNSs resulting in addictive behavior. This paper aims to explore factors affecting SNS addiction. Specifically, the study examined the role of personality traits in the Facebook usage among college students. Compared to the rest of world, daily log on the site has grown very quickly in South Korea. And college students constitute a vast majority of Facebook users in South Korea. Results from a survey of 235 college students revealed that extraversion and neuroticism positively predicted Facebook usage. Students who were high in extraversion were more likely to update their profiles, share photo and images with others and give feedback on other's posts. Similarly, those who were high in neuroticism were more likely to share photo and images with others and update their profiles. These findings support previous research. Furthermore, in terms of the effect of personality on SNS addiction, this study found that consciousness was negatively associated with Facebook addiction, while extraversion and neuroticism were positively associated with Facebook addiction. Based on these findings implications and directions for futures studies are discussed.

스마트폰이 보급됨에 따라 SNS의 활용이 폭발적으로 성장하고 있다. SNS는 그 특성상 사용자가 지속적으로 사용하여야 유지가 되기 때문에 사용자의 SNS 지속사용의도는 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기본심리욕구, 몰입, 그리고 SNS의 품질을 영향변인으로 선정하고 Facebook의 지속사용의도에 영향을 미치는지를 확인하고자 하였다. Facebook 사용자 165명을 대상으로 설문을 실시한 결과, 유능성 및 관계성은 몰입에 영향을 미치고, 유능성 및 시스템품질은 지속사용의도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 기본심리욕구, 시스템품질, 서비스품질 및 몰입이 Facebook 지속사용의도에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하고 이를 촉진시키는 전략을 세웠다는 점에서 의의를 가진다.

본 논문은 SNS 사용증가에 따라 페이스북 이용자들의 정서적 양가 감정태도가 어떻게 다른지를 정량적으로 조사하고, 페이스북 이용동기와 이용행태가 양가성 태도와 어떤 상관성을 갖는지 탐색하였다. 설문조사 결과, 페이스북 이용시기와 이용시간보다 접속횟수가 양가성에 영향을 미치며, 페이스북 이용동기 중 '인맥넓히기', '관계유지', '연락 주고받기'의 이용동기가 양가성 태도와 상관성이 높은 것으로 나타났다, 또한 페이스북에 대한 영향력인식이 양가성 태도에 통계적으로 유의하게 나타났으며, 성별차이는 없었지만 40대의 페이스북 이용자들이 정서적 양가성을 크게 느끼는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 인맥확장과 관계유지를 위해 페이스북을 자주 접속하는 40대 이상의 이용자들일수록 정서적 양가성 태도를 갖게 되며 그로 인해 페이스북 피로감도 증가할 것임을 시사한다.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to verify motivations of corporate Facebook usage and to examine the impacts of usage motivations on brand attachment, trust and loyalty. Design/methodology/approach A conceptual model is developed based on Self-determination theory(SDT) and the previous studies. We conducted a web survey with a convenient sample of 121 Facebook users who clicked "Like" button on the corporate Facebook pages. Findings The followings are the findings of the study. First, intrinsic motivation(Entertainment) turned out to have positive effects on brand attachment. Second, extrinsic motivation(information exchange) turned out to have positive effects on brand trust. Third, brand attachment turned out to have positive effects on brand loyalty. These findings provide a valuable basis for constructing an explanatory model for "Like"-clicking behaviors of corporate's Facebook community platform users, as well as making significant practical contributions to enhance social and commercial benefits for businesses and individuals.

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.
