“…The available literature examining interrelationships among college students' FB use, global personality traits, and well-being has generated a number of complex and inconsistent findings, as well as calls for more specific assessment of FB users' belongingness and self-presentation needs (Nadkarni & Hofmann, 2012). Furthermore, despite evidence that FB functions as a popular means for engaging in identity-related negotiations with others and accruing social capital that can potentially promote students' career development, thus far only one study (Argyris & Xu, 2016) specifically assessed the impact of FB use on a single index of college students' career planning confidence.…”

“…In sum, studies examining relations among FB use patterns, global personality traits, and indicators of college students' well-being have yielded mixed findings. Furthermore, we could locate only one study (Argyris & Xu, 2016) that specifically considered how FB use experiences influenced college students' career planning confidence. These researchers proposed that FB provides two important technical "affordances"--the affordance of virtual people watching and the affordance of garnering social support--and that engaging these affordances can, respectively, strengthen college students' social relatedness and self-presentational efficacies, which, in turn, should strengthen their career decision self-efficacy.…”

As a highly popular social networking site (SNS) for exchanging information about their personal activities, values, goals, and accomplishments with their online "friends," Facebook (FB) # enables social comparisons and identity negotiations that may influence college students' career planning confidence. However, to date, no studies have examined whether FB use activities and "friend" networks are uniquely associated with such confidence when dispositional variables associated with students' needs for belongingness and self-presentation are concurrently controlled. In the present study, participants provided information about their FB use activities and networks and completed self-report measures of adult attachment security, authenticity, career decision self-efficacy, and career aspirations. We hypothesized that, controlling for features of FB use, adult attachment security and authenticity would make significant and incremental contributions to our indicators of career confidence and that authenticity would mediate expected relations between attachment security and these outcomes. Our findings yielded general support for these hypotheses. Implications for career counseling practice that considers both clients' relational dispositions and uses of social media are discussed.

“…For example, the technology acceptance model posits users' perceptions of ease of use and usefulness as being key factors driving IT usage (Davis, ). In addition, users' perceptions are also important in disciplines such as human‐computer interaction (Caroll, , Xu et al, , ; Xu, ; Argyris & Xu, ), design science (Brocke, Riedl, & Léger, ), requirement engineering (Shaw & Gaines, ), and usability engineering (Nielsen, ). Without understanding users' perceptions, we cannot know whether or not the design criteria considered as effective by designers will have their intended effect on users.…”

B.J. Fogg's Functional Triad shows the manner in which computing technologies can persuade people by playing 3 different functional roles, namely, as tools, media, or social actors. However, the effects of user perceptions of these 3 functional roles are largely unknown. We advance Fogg's framework by developing a conceptual model to explain how a feature of a computing technology (ie, the trade-off transparency feature of a recommendation agent [RA], which interactively demonstrates the trade-offs among product attribute values) can result in certain outcomes by shaping the beliefs of individuals regarding the 3 functional roles. We examine the effects of the perceived Functional Triad on the following 3 outcomes: (1) persuading users to use an RA (intention to use), (2) persuading users to follow the advice of the RA (recommendation adherence), and (3) persuading users to recommend the RA to others (recommendation to friends). We conducted a laboratory experiment to manipulate 4 levels of trade-off transparency, thereby creating an adequate amount of variations for the perceived Functional Triad. A total of 160 participants were recruited from a large university in North America. Although designers could control the technology design aspects, these designs may not accomplish the intended effects on users, who have their own perceptions. This study contributes to existing literature by simultaneously evaluating the 3 different outcomes of the Functional Triad from the perspective of users.

“…A study conducted with 218 college freshman revealed that students transitioning into college continue to use Facebook for selfdevelopment resources, such as self-presentation skills (Yang & Brown, 2016). Several other studies revealed positive outcomes for adolescents and those aged 16 to 24 years, such as improved social skills, social support, self-efficacy, and self-worth using online methods (Argyris & Xu, 2016;Lehenbauer, Kothgassner, Kryspin-Exner, & Stetina, 2013).…”

Background: Social media use has become an integral daily occupation of college and graduate students. In the United States, 90% of adults aged 18 to 29 years use social media (Pew Internet, 2015). Positive and negative data has been found which examined associations between social media use and other daily occupations (activities) that impact emotional and physical health. The purpose of this study is to examine the association of social media use with the satisfaction of daily routines and healthy lifestyle habits for undergraduate and graduate students.
