Facebook has quickly infused across cultures worldwide to become a common household term for diverse spectra of netizens, especially youngsters. Inherently, interactive in nature, Facebook provides a common cyber enabled platform for online interactions with social friends, living across the world. However, despite its merits, users also experience certain disadvantages, which include but are not limited to rise in feelings of social comparison, decline in self-esteem, contentment and general subjective well-being. This work aims to determine the role of Facebook in spreading envy and identify factors that trigger such emotions. Due to abductive nature of the study, we used pilot interviews and consulted relevant literature to formulate hypotheses. Further, we used deductive approach and conducted a survey. The results showed that frequent use of Facebook, particularly passive following is main predictor of envy, and social interaction is the biggest cause for development of envious feelings in Facebook users. However, insignificant variation was found while investigating relationship between envy and factors, such as pretentiousness, time spent, accomplishment, everything in life, likes on posts, popularity across genders, marital status and genre.

The purpose of this study was to analyze searching value types of Internet consumer information and to identify difference of information characteristics by searching value types. The online survey was conducted by 262 netizens. We used SPSS10.0 package and statistical analysis as follows : factor analysis, cluster analysis, one-way ANOVA, and Duncan's multiple range test. The results were summarized as follows: 1) searching value types of Internet consumer information were classified into 3 types - high benefit/high risk type, middle benefit/middle risk type, high benefit/low risk type. 2)In the degree of significance for information characteristics, consumer recognized accuracy as the most important then comes variability, utility, up-to-dateness, and reliability in that order. 3) high benefit/high risk type among searching value types was evaluated the most affirmative types for Internet consumer information.

The rapid development and widespread application of Internet has provided a platform for people to participate and discuss social hotspot events. In the meantime, social events may be spread throughout the Internet more quickly and widely than they did ever before, and possibly lead to serious social problems due to opinion violence or seditious rumour. This paper analyzed the Internet spread of social events, and presented a five-stage model to describe the evolution process of that spread. Furthermore, the improved IBF algorithm was applied to extract a pruned connected graph aiming to find the key nodes and the shortest spread path for the control of that spread. After analyzing the different factors that may cause the netizens' attention, this paper concluded BBS type, the visit quantity and the opinion leader are key factors which affect the Internet spread. Based on those researches, a life-cycle emergency management methodology and the related strategies were proposed for the achievement of healthy spreading environment on Internet.

2010년 이래 '국격'이라는 말이 정치지도자들이나 네티즌들 사이에 많이 회자되고 있다. 규격/표준은 '사실상의 표준[de facto standard]'과 '공적표준[de jure standard]'이 있다. 국가품질수준을 말하는 국격은 그 국가의 헌법에 규정되고 있는 내용이다. 국가의 공적인 표준인 헌법이 아무리 수준 높게 잘 제정되고 있어도 잘 준수되지 않으면 사실상의 국격은 낮게 인식된다. 한 두 프로젝트의 성공이나 어떤 정책의 성공이 당장 국격을 향상시킬 수 있는 것은 아니다 국격을 생각하는 사람은 과학과 기술을 생각해야 하는 시대이다.

본 논문에서는 중국 인터넷 사이트에서 네티즌을 중심으로 논의되고 있는 반한감정을 한류의 대응현상으로 보고 이러한 현상을 야기하는 요인을 키워드를 중심으로 살펴보고 분석해보았다. 중국의 포탈사이트 티엔야논단(天涯论坛)에 게재되어 있는 반한감정과 관련된 34만개의 게시글을 분석하여 역사, 정치, 연예인으로 키워드 분류하여 정리하였다. 반한감정을 유도하는 주제로 가장 큰 비중을 차지하는 것이 정치관련 이슈(34%)였으며 특히 사드(고고 도미사일방어체계·THAAD)와 관련된 문제가 가장 자주 언급되었다. 이것은 중국 내 반한 감정이 단순히 미디어콘텐츠의 내용이나 연예인들로 인해서 야기된 것이라기보다는 중국의 정책과 밀접한 관련을 갖고 있음을 의미한다. 따라서 중국내 반한 감정을 극복하고 변화하는 미·중 국제 정세 속에서 양국과의 안정적인 관계를 유지하기 위한 대응책으로 중국 정부당국의 미디어 정책에 대한 한국의 미디어콘텐츠 제작진의 이해와 더불어 양질의 콘텐츠로 미디어 비즈니스를 리드할 것을 제안한다. 이를 위해서는 이미 성장한 중국미디어시장에 공동제작이나 합작을 통해서 우회적이지만 안정적인 접근을 시도하는 것이 필요하며, 무엇보다도 중국적 민족주의인 중화사상과 중국문화에 대한 밀도있는 이해와 더불어 중국문화의 대체제로서가 아니라 콘텐츠의 독립성과 우수성을 통해서 한국산 문화콘텐츠의 경쟁력과 정체성, 우수성을 확립하는 것이 필요하다.

특정 사안에 대한 신문의 논조와 독자의 태도는 어떠한 관계인가\ulcorner 즉, 특정 사안에 대한 신문의 논조가 그 사안을 바라보는 독자의 태도에 영향을 미치는가\ulcorner 아니면, 그와 반대로 특정사안에 대한 독자의 태도가 그 사안에 대한 신문의 논조에 영향을 미치는가\ulcorner 또는 이들 양자간의 영향을 미치는가\ulcorner 이 질문은 매우 흥미로운 연구주제라 할 수 있다. 인터넷 여론조사는 한국 신문에서 1990년대 중반부터 시작되었고, 신문 독자들(특히, 네티즌이라고 불러지는)에게 보편화되었기 때문에, 특별한 사안에 대한 독자의 태도를 파악하는 것이 가능하게 되었다. 그리고 특별한 사안에 대한 신문의 논조는 사설에 잘 반영돼 있다는 것을 우리는 잘 알고 있다. 특정 사안에 대한 인터넷 여론조사를 통해 신문의 논조와 독자의 태도간에 관계를 비교ㆍ분석함으로써 그들 사이에 상관관계가 있는지 없는지를 알아본다.

As netizens increasingly utilize social media to obtain and engage with information, this study aims to determine the extent to which the follower-influencer interaction is manifested and strengthened. To analyze information related to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), a total of 62,119 online posts from 11 Internet forums were examined to find a relationship between followers and influencers in Taiwan. These forums are PTT, SOGO, Ck101, Plurk, Mobile01, TalkFetnet, Gamez, PlaySport, Dcard, Eyny, and PCDVD. The variables that were the best predictors of influencer classification were strong influences, engagements, and hot values across 11 Internet forums. Learning the response to the COVID-19 pandemic is vital because public actions could have been fueled by stigmatizing terms that may harm public health and well-being. The results questioned the conventional diffusion of traditional news sources because the influencers brought widespread attention to the health threat issues in the early outbreak stages. This study enhances the understanding of forum types, follower engagement, and influencers' impact maximization in social networks. The conclusion provides insight into the relationships and information diffusion mechanisms to ensure accurate health information dissemination.

Social media is becoming more and more important in social movements. This study, adopting the web mining approach, attempts to investigate how social media, Facebook in particular, functioned in the "May 25 Protest" and the "May 27 Protest", two movements which broke out in Macao on 25 and 27 May 2014, respectively, against the Retirement Package Bill. In the two protests, Macao residents deployed Facebook to share information and motivated people's participation. Twelve events (181,106 people invited) and 36 groups/pages (41,266 members) related on Facebook were examined. Results showed that the information flow on Facebook fluctuated in accordance with the event development in reality. Multiple patterns of manifestation, such as video of adopted news or songs, designed profile (protest icon), original ironic pictures, self-organized clubs by undergraduates and white T-shirts as a symbol, among others, appeared online and interacted with offline actions. It was also found that social media assisted the information diffusion and provided persuasive reasons for netizens to join the movement. Social media helped to expand movement influence in providing a platform for diversified performances for actions taken in a protest, which could express and develop core and consistent movement repertoire.
