“…To illustrate the above paragraph, Luchman et al (2014) investigated 1,686 American youths' SM motives (i.e., 12 items) using Multi-Dimensional Scaling. Results across 19 SM sites showed two underlying motives -fun-related and content-specific.…”

“…The literature demonstrates a substantial effort to explore youths' motives for using SM. Unlike Luchman et al (2014), most of these endeavors drew upon social theories like the UGT, social influences, and social presence. From a social perspective, two trends of studies were observed.…”

“… Phase 2: An additional review of established measures of youths' SM motives was conducted. Some scales measured the motives among American young adults (Ifinedo, 2016;Khan, 2017;Luchman et al, 2014;Mao, 2014) and other scales investigated the motives of youths from collectivistic cultures (Ahmad et al, 2016;Al-Menayes, 2015;Cheung et al, 2011). Still, others targeted a heterogeneous sample comprised of individualistic and collectivistic SM users (Wamba et al, 2017).…”

“…First, psychometric research illustrates factorial diversity in SM motives. The literature supports two-factor (Luchman et al, 2014), three-factor (Mao, 2014), four-factor (Ifinedo, 2016), and five-factor structures (Al-Menayes, 2015). Second, most of the previous studies have relied on social theoretical support, specifically the "Uses and Gratifications Theory" (UGT; Al-Menayes, 2015; Khan, 2017).…”

Social media (SM) use is a rapidly growing phenomenon among Millennials. Thus, a growing body of studies have explored the beneficial applications and negative consequences of their use in an increasingly virtual world. The current study aimed to develop and validate a scale that measures university students' motives for using SM from a psychological and social perspective. In Study 1 (N = 316), the psychometric properties of SM motives were examined. The estimated factorial structure was validated in Study 2 (N = 200). The Study 1 results showed two active personal motives scales (i.e., self-actualization and purposive motives), one passive motive scale (i.e., enjoyment), one active contextual motive scale (i.e., self-enhancement), and a contextual (neither active nor passive) motive scale (i.e., a factor of convenience). Study 2 findings confirmed this factorial structure. Construct validity was supported with significant differences between three types of users (i.e., productive, consuming, and disinterested) on their motives (151 words).

“…Whereas in some respects, experimental art was based on Fermilab and there was also a CMS framework [3]. The use of social media has grown rapidly, there is a breakthrough in the latest social media technology for e-commerce and e-learning such as Facebook and YouTube that users might not guess (e.g., Youtube as a learning application or ordering platform) [4]. The conceptual framework can consist of: students, learning goals, elearning processes, continuous improvement, and evolutionary pathways which are grouped as either factors related to students or factors related to technology [5].…”

Motivated reasoning explains how climate change deniers can maintain their beliefs in the face of disconfirming evidence, suggesting that, compared to believers, the online comments of climate change deniers are more likely to (a) reference independent and social media websites advocating ideologically congruent positions, (b) politicize the issue, and (c) use intensifiers (e.g., definitely, undoubtedly). Automated text analysis of 156,844 comments from subreddit communities with opposing perspectives on climate change identified the internet domains associated with hyperlinks and the frequencies of political terms and intensifiers in user comments. Results were consistent with motivated reasoning by climate change deniers. In addition, climate change believers were more likely than deniers to use qualifiers in their comments.
