  • This study aims at knowing both the level of information security awareness in the use of social media among female secondary school students in Makkah Al-Mukarramah, and the procedures that students follow when exposed to hacking or other security problems. The study relied on the descriptive survey approach. The results showed a high percentage of social media use among the study sample, and the most used applications by the students are snapchat and Instagram applications successively. In fact, 48% of the study sample have awareness of information security, the majority of the students memorize the password in the devices, most of them do not change them, and they have knowledge of fake gates and social engineering. However, their knowledge of electronic hacking is weak, and students do not share passwords with anyone at a rate of 67%. At the same time, they do not update passwords. Moreover, most of the procedures followed by students when exposed to theft and hacking is to change the e-mail data and the password, and the results varied apart from that, which reflects the weak awareness of the students and the weakness of procedures related to information security. The study recommends the necessity to raise awareness and education of the importance of information security and safety, especially in light of what the world faces from data electronic attacks and hackings of electronic applications.

  • Social media is an essential part of everyday life in modern society and plays an important role in communicating the ideal body image. With the increased prevalence and high popularity of social media, the problems associated with the addictive use of social media have become a social issue. Utilizing social comparison theory, this study examined (1) the effect of appearance related photo activities on body satisfaction through appearance comparison and (2) the moderating effect of Instagram addiction in relationships among appearance related photo activity, appearance comparison, and body satisfaction. We tested the proposed relationships between research variables using multi-group structural equation modeling analysis on a sample of 346 young female Instagram users. The sample was divided into two groups of high and low addicted Instagram users. The results of this study showed that the appearance related photo activity positively influenced appearance comparison for both high and low addiction groups. For the high addiction group, the effect of appearance comparison on body satisfaction was not statistically significant; however, this relationship was significant and negative for the low addiction group. A significant moderating effect of Instagram addiction was found in the relationship between appearance related photo activity and appearance comparison.

  • The goal of the present study is to explore IM interruption by relating it to media choices and purposes of IM use in the workplace. Two major media choice concepts were: media richness and social influence; while four purposes of IM use were: organization work, knowledge work, socializing, and boundary spanning activities. Data (N = 283) were collected via a combination of convenience and snowball sampling of "computer-using workers" in Taiwan, based on the Standard Occupational Classification system published by the Taiwan government. Results indicated that media choice works better than purpose of IM use to explain IM interruption. Among them, social influence was the best predictor to IM interruption in the workplace. In addition, instant feedback and personalization provided by IM, and IM usage for the purposes of knowledge work and socializing, also relate to IM interruption in the workplace.

  • This study aimed to understand young adults' attitudes concerning news and news resources they consumed, and how they encounter the fake news phenomenon. A qualitative approach was used with semi-structured interviews with 41 young adults (aged 20-30) in Tehran, Iran. Findings revealed that about half of the participants favored social media, and a smaller group used traditional media and only a few maintained that traditional and modern media should be used together. News quality was considered to be lower on social media than in traditional news sources. Furthermore, young adults usually followed the news related to the issues which had impact on their daily life, and they typically tended to share news. To detect fake news, they checked several media to compare the information; and profiteering and attracting audiences' attention were the most important reasons for the existence of fake news. This is the first qualitative study for understanding news consumption behavior of young adults in a politicized society.

  • With the start of COVID-19 in 2020, the MBTI test became popular among Korean young generation and then developed into a nationwide hot topic. This paper aims to investigate the characteristics of the MBTI popularity in Korea and the public opinions toward this phenomenon. With the analysis of the reports contents, 231 news reports related to MBTI were selected from KINDS (Korea Integrated News Database System) as research samples. The general attitude of the media towards MBTI tests and the reasons for the formation of positive and negative evaluations will be discussed from three perspectives: media attention, media attitudes and cognitive sources. The research finds that the increasing interest in MBTI among the younger generation in Korea is driven by a post-epidemic desire for self-exploration, emotional planning, and online group affiliation. MBTI has gained quasi-scientific status, similar to horoscopes, influenced by celebrities and a substantial fan base in online communication. While widely used for entertainment and social currency, there are concerns that extensive labeling may unconsciously impact individuals' self-perception and hinder the development of a holistic and objective cognitive framework.

  • 본 연구에서는 사회네트워크 분석을 활용하여 소셜 미디어를 통해 이루어지는 관광목적지의 관광정보에 대한 공유 및 흐름에 대하여 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 트위터의 서울과 부산 관광에 대한 네트워크 그룹의 사용자 간에 이루어지는 정보공유와 교환 및 확산 관계를 비교하였다. 전체적(Global) 관점에서 트위터 네트워크의 정보 쏠림현상, 정보의 확산력 등을 도출하였다. 미시적(Node) 관점에서 트위터 내의 정보에 대한 영향력 있는 유저를 파악하여 정보의 흐름과 정보공유에 대한 특성을 파악하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 소셜 미디어 사용자들의 정보 탐색행동과 정보공유 및 확산 패턴을 이해할 수 있는 학문적 근거를 제시하였으며, 소셜 미디어를 단순한 제품 및 서비스의 홍보 수단이 아닌 궁극적으로 정보 수용자가 원하는 정보를 제공해 줄 수 있는 마케팅 도구로써의 활용 방안 제시하였다.

  • 본 연구는 십 수 년 간 언론매체를 통해 돔구장 건설 관련한 담론이 어떻게 형성되고 또 재생산되었는지를 파악하고자 하였다. 특히 신문을 중심으로 한 언론매체들이 돔구장과 관련하여 그동안 어떠한 사회적 담론을 구성했는지를 과정적 맥락적인 관점에서 바라봄으로써 돔구장과 관련된 정치적, 경제적, 그리고 사회문화적 맥락에 대한 논리적인 이해와 해석을 시도하고자 하였다. 이를 통해 본 연구는 크게 세 가지 측면의 사회적 담론이 형성되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 첫 번째로, 돔구장 건립을 찬성하고 지지하는 '찬성'담론이 형성되었다. 여기에서 가장 핵심적인 담론은 야구발전과 중흥을 염원하는 '야구계의 숙원사업', 그리고 도시 이미지 제고와 지역경제 발전으로 대변되는 '돔구장 건설의 경제적 효과'였다. 두 번째로 돔구장 건설을 반대하고 비판하는 '반대' 담론이 형성되었다. 반대담론의 중심에는 '사업절차의 투명성 부족'과 '수익 타당성 부재'라는 인식이 강하게 자리 잡았다. 돔구장 건설에 대한 찬성과 반대의 대립구도 속에서 세 번째로 민 관이 '소통'과 '참여'를 통해 야구장 문제를 합리적으로 해결해야 한다는 거버넌스 담론이 등장하게 되었다.

  • 본 연구는 현대를 살아가는 사람들이 생애주기별로 받는 스트레스 해소와 사회성 증진을 돕는 소셜미디어 플랫폼에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법은 생애주기별 스트레스 특성과 사회성 그리고 소셜미디어에 대해 문헌적 연구를 하였다. 결과 현대를 살아가는 사람들은 생애주기별로 청소년기 중년기 노년기 등 다양한 스트레스 상황에 놓여 있으며, 특히 우리나라의 스트레스 지수는 점점 높아 지고 있다. 그 스트레스를 해결하기 위한 대처 방안으로 인터넷 기반의 소셜미디어 플랫폼을 활용하여 다양한 정보제공 및 접근이 필요하다고 보았으며, 복잡하고 다양한 개인 성향들과 개인주의적 활동에 각각의 성향과 욕구에 발맞춰 성향별 플랫폼 개발과 접근성이 용이하도록 해야 할 것이며, 관련 연구가 지속적으로 이뤄져야 한다고 제언한다.
