Purpose - This study aims to empirically verify the impact of media richness, social presence, and prior life satisfaction on various continual usage or withdrawal behaviors of SNS users via both a positive path of satisfaction and a negative path of relative deprivation. By identifying these causal paths, we observe dynamic interactions of SNS user psychology in a balanced view, and provide some implications about design principles for SNS providers. Research design, data, and methodology - We developed 16 hypothesis based on media richness theory, social presence theory, social comparison theory, the literature about relative deprivation, and the literature about the various reactions of IS users. The rich SNS media, social presence recognition among peer SNS users, and prior life satisfaction could generate positive experience, attitude, and virtuous behavioral intentions among SNS users. At the same time, rich media, low social presence, and low prior life satisfaction could generate relative deprivation and could increase withdrawal behavioral intentions such as refusal to provide information, misrepresentation of information, and removal of uploaded information in SNS. Scenario surveys were conducted to collect data from potential SNS users. Data from 357 surveys were collected and analyzed through a PLS algorithm to test the hypotheses. Results - Media richness, social presence, and prior life satisfaction could significantly increase perceived enjoyment, satisfaction, and behavioral intention of continual usage and knowledge sharing. They also could significantly decrease refusal and misrepresentation intention. Relative deprivation is significantly decreased only by prior life satisfaction. Relative deprivation could not significantly decrease satisfaction, but it could significantly increase misrepresentation and removal intention, which could be regarded as information distortion intention. Conclusions - SNS providers should focus on developing rich media and social presence support because these two variables could impact the positive experiences of SNS users. Moreover, the positive experiences could heavily influence SNS user behavior. Some management is needed to prevent relative deprivation and its consequences of misrepresentation and removal intention. SNS providers should prevent SNS users from excessive image misrepresentation and removal as this information distortion could be the source of relative deprivation.

Purpose As the number of SNS users increases, the importance of SNS advertisement is also increasing. Thus, the purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of factors on effectiveness of SNS advertising, and expand research on users' attitude and behavior intention toward SNS advertising. Design/methodology/approach This study was designed to examine the structural relationships among SNS service attribute, users' cognitive characters, psychological factors, users' attitude and behavior intention toward SNS advertising. Concretely, SNS service attribute was presented as online interactivity, and users' cognitive characters were presented as perceived relevance and perceived intrusiveness. In addition, psychological factors were presented as presence experience and message credibility, users' attitude toward SNS advertising was presented as advertisement attitude and users' behavior intention was presented as WOM. Findings The results showed that online interactivity has a positive effect on presence experience and message credibility, but perceived intrusiveness has a negative effect on presence experience and message credibility. Perceived relevance has a positive effect on presence experience, but does not have significant effect on message credibility. Presence experience and message credibility have positive effects on advertisement attitude and WOM, and advertisement attitude also has a positive effect on WOM. Based on the results from this study, academic and practical implications can be drawn. First, the study extended the scope of research about SNS advertising through focusing on SNS service attribute and SNS users' cognitive characters and identified the relationship between presence experience, message credibility, advertisement attitude and WOM.

SNS를 이용하는 시각장애인의 수가 증가하고 있으나 이에 대한 연구는 거의 없다. 따라서 시각장애인 SNS 이용자의 이용만족에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하여 향후 시각장애인이 SNS를 더욱 편리하게 이용할 수 있도록 본 연구를 진행하였다. SNS의 특성요인으로 정보성, 관계성, 신속성의 3개요인과 사용성을 독립변수로, SNS 이용에 따른 자기확인성과 사회적 존재감을 매개변수로, SNS 이용만족을 종속변수로 설정하였다. 설문조사는 SNS를 이용하고 있는 시각장애인 195명을 대상으로 실시하였다. 연구결과, 시각장애인의 SNS 이용만족에 영향을 미치는 요인은 SNS 특성 중 관계성이 자기확인성과 사회적 존재감, SNS 이용만족에 높은 영향력을 미치고 있었다. 정보성과 사용성은 자기확인성이나 사회적 존재감에는 영향을 미치지 않았지만, SNS 이용만족에는 영향을 미치고 있었다. 자기확인성은 SNS 이용만족에 영향을 미치지 않았지만, 사회적 존재감에는 영향을 미치고 있었다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 시각장애인에게 SNS 이용에 대한 적절한 교육과 교육 확대를 위한 재정적 정책적 지원이 필요하고, SNS 서비스에 대한 접근과 사용에 관한 기술적 지원이 필요하다는 것을 시사점으로 제시하였다. 본 연구의 기여점은 학문적 측면에서 시각장애인의 SNS에 대한 연구로서 향후 이 분야에 대한 연구방향을 제시한 점이라고 할 수 있다. 사회적 측면에서는 시각장애인들에 대한 SNS의 접근 및 사용과 관련된 인식을 높여 시각장애인들이 SNS를 효과적으로 활용할 수 있게 함으로써 정보격차를 줄일 수 있게 했다는 점이라고 할 수 있다.

이 연구는 SNS상에서 제품에 대한 사용자의 구전정보의 특성이 소비자 태도에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 검증하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 특히 긍정 혹은 부정적 내용으로 나뉜 메시지와 소비자태도의 관계에 있어서, 메시지의 사실성, 동의성, 사회적 실재감, 상호작용의 조절효과가 있는지 살펴보았다. SNS 사용 대학생을 대상으로 수집한 554개 표본을 대상으로 실증분석한 결과, 구전 메시지의 방향성에 따라 소비자 태도는 유의적인 변화를 보였으며, 특히, 메시지가 판단적일 때보다 사실적일 때, 그리고 메시지에 대해 SNS사용자가 다양한 동의감을 표출할수록 더 큰 영향을 받았다. 한편, 참여자의 실재감이나 상호작용 등 SNS의 고유한 특성은 유의적인 조절효과가 발견되지 않았으며 이들은 소비자 태도에 직접 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 SNS에서의 소비자 태도 형성과정에서 메시지의 특성과 SNS특성에 따라 소비자 태도가 어떻게 영향을 받는지 학술적 연구의 범위를 확대하였고, SNS를 통해 마케팅 활동을 수행하는 실무자들에게도 유용한 시사점을 제시한다.

The social network services (SNS) like Facebook, have gained an enormous amount of popularity. However, side-effects of Facebook usage are occasionally reported such as sense of alienation and cyber-bullying. Among these potential factors threatening to the success of SNS, this research focused on alienation and intends to investigate possible factors that affect SNS alienation and how it affects on SNS attachment and proactive use of SNS. Through extensive literature reviews regarding online and offline alienation, SNS characteristics, and SNS usage, we generated the research model and hypotheses. We surveyed 142 Facebook users and empirically proved that among SNS characteristics, complexity increases SNS alienation, and interactivity and social presence positively affect SNS attachment. Offline alienation, one of the personal attributes, increases both SNS alienation and SNS attachment at the same time while the number of SNS friends have no significant effects. In addition, SNS alienation decreases proactive use of Facebook while SNS attachment increases it. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed based on research findings, and we also suggest future research directions to minimize negative consequences due to SNS users' sense of alienation.

The purpose of this study was to explore the reasons why college students use Facebook and the ways in which they feel of social presence while using Facebook. In fact, the study aimed to specify the links between motivations for using SNS and a sense of 'being together'. The findings of this study suggest that major motivations of SNS use were social interaction, entertainment, self-presentation, and information-seeking. Specifically, results from a survey of 280 respondents revealed that college students used Facebook to seek maintenance and connection with friends, to express themselves, to get information about school activities, and to be entertained. These findings are consistent with the existing literature regarding SNS as a primary channel to maintain the existing social relationships among college students. The study also found that all motivation factors, except information-seeking factor, were positively and significantly related to social presence. The strongest correlations were between social presence and Facebook use for social interaction and entertainment needs. It seemed that users who seek social interaction and entertainment needs are more likely to feel a sense of being with others while users who seek to get information are less likely to feel a sense of social presence. These findings implied that to some extent, a sense of social presence occurs in the context of Facebook and that the experience of social presence depends on what college students seek from Facebook use. In addition, the results showed a positive relationship between Facebook use and social presence; the more college students use Facebook, the more they are likely to experience sense of social presence. Given that Facebook provides college students with a place where they can share thought and feelings among friends, it can be concluded that Facebook contributes to the sense of belonging among users. And such feeling may enhance a sense of presence with others while using Facebook. These findings suggest that uses and gratifications researchers should consider the concept of social presence as an important variable in explaining what audience members do with media.

This study introduces an effective marketing strategy for fashion SMEs and small designer brands utilizing Instagram as a social networking platform. The research compared the impact of two information delivery types (native advertisements vs. live streaming after native ads) and two types of promotional messages (scarcity vs. price discount) on SNS consumption value, and product attitude toward fashion designer brands. The study involved surveying 251 Korean women aged 25-55 with experience in buying designer products and using SNS. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 26.0 and Process Macro v3.5. Results indicated that both native advertisements and live streaming enhance economic and social values in SNS consumption. Live streaming with price discount messages generates higher perceived SNS consumption values compared to scarcity messages. Consumers showed a more favorable attitude toward designer brand products when watching the live streaming of price discount messages rather than scarcity messages. The findings emphasize that the broadcast host actively induced participation to reveal viewers' social presence through comments or emphasized discount messages such as ultra-special prices during live streaming on Instagram.

Social Network Services (SNS) have become a vital means of shopping, significantly influencing consumers' purchases of fashion products. The aim of this study was to identify bandwagon consumption among fashion consumers and to analyze the effects of bandwagon consumption on negative emotions, purchase discontinuation, and switching intention. A survey questionnaire was developed, and data were obtained from 285 female consumers in Korea aged in their 20s and 30s who had experienced guilt, regret, or disappointment after purchasing fashion products using SNS during the previous six months. The survey results indicated four different types of band- wagon consumption: intentional, impulsive, unintentional, and planned. The presence of negative emotions such as guilt, disappointment, and regret were affected by different types of bandwagon consumption. Intentional bandwagon consumption only affected guilt, while unintentional bandwagon consumption affected both guilt and disappointment. Impulsive bandwagon consumption affected guilt and regret; however, planned bandwagon consumption only affected regret. Furthermore, negative emotions affected purchase discontinuation and switching intention. Planned bandwagon con- sumption had an effect on both purchase discontinuation and switching intention, while both impulsive and unintentional bandwagon consumption influenced switching intention only. Intentional bandwagon consumption had no effect on either purchase discontinuation or switching intention. The results of this study indicate that SNS consumers' bandwagon consumption causes different negative emotions, purchase discontinuation, and switching intention.
