“…For instance, the frequency with which adolescents receive feedback on their SNS profiles, as well as the tone of this feedback (i.e., positive or negative) may explain how active public Facebook use is related to an increased depressed mood among young people. Public Facebook activities, such as status updating (e.g., Ong et al, 2011) or photo posting (e.g., Madden et al, 2013) are popular among adolescents. Even more popular among young people is commenting on these Facebook posts.…”

This study aims to provide a deeper understanding of the relationships between different types of Facebook use, perceived online social support, and boys’ and girls’ depressed mood. To address this aim, this study (N = 910) developed a comprehensive model that (1) differs between specific types of Facebook use, (2) examines the mediating role of perceived online social support, and (3) takes adolescent users’ gender into account. Structural equation modeling showed that the harmful impact of Facebook use exclusively occurs among girls who passively use Facebook and among boys who actively use Facebook in a public setting. Girls, however, who actively use Facebook, either in a public setting or in a private setting and subsequently perceive online social support, benefit from actively using Facebook, as perceived online social support negatively predicted girls’ depressed mood. The discussion focuses on the explanation and understanding of these findings, key limitations, and directions for future research.

“…Some existing research, however, suggests that social media activity can contribute to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem in adolescence (Fredriksen, Rhodes, Reddy, & Way, 2004;Woods & Scott, 2016). Specific Facebook activities, such as status updates and frequency of likes and comments, have exhibited significant relationships with social anxiety and extraversion (Garcia & Sikström, 2014;Ong et al, 2011). Other social media activities like taking and posting pictures of oneself (i.e., selfies) have been linked to elevated rates of narcissism (McCain et al, 2016).…”

“…In addition, researchers have put forward several other motivations for self-disclosure in SNS including low self-esteem (Forest & Wood, 2012), anonymity (Bonetti et al, 2010), narcissism (Mehdizadeh, 2010;Ryan & Xenos, 2011;Ong et al, 2011); to show off (Wang & Stefanone, 2013) and also because doing so is fun, enjoyable and entertaining or to store meaningful information or in order to keep up with trends (Waters & Ackerman, 2011). Selfdisclosure is also associated with the level of trust between communicators (Valenzuela et al, 2009).…”

The Saudi Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, or the Religious Police as it is commonly known in the west, has dealt with 1834 incidents of women being blackmailed by men in 2014 and of those 22% (N= 403) were initiated using Social Network Sites (SNS). In light of the reality about these crimes, this study asked the following questions: (1) Are Saudi women concerned about their privacy in SNS? (2) Are Saudi women worried about falling victim to blackmail in SNS? (3) Do Saudi women know how to change the privacy settings in SNS? (4) Are Saudi women comfortable with communicating across gender lines in SNS? To address these questions, qualitative interviews with 16 women who used Facebook regularly and a focus group discussion with another group of 10 Saudi female students were conducted. The findings of the study show that the Saudi women interviewed appeared concerned about their privacy in Facebook, worried about falling victim to blackmail, knew how to change the privacy settings and are not comfortable with communicating across gender lines. This suggests that the participants in this study are not the likely victims of blackmail crimes. Further research is needed to understand the profile of the victims of blackmail and the root cause of these crimes.
