This article is a pioneering theoretical work as an approach from the perspective of combination of social media characteristics and wisdom of crowds. The aim of this article is to conceptualize the social media channels in terms of their characteristics and to discuss the correlation between social media choices and culture. This paper contributes to social media marketing theory by developing a conceptual approach that explains and offers implications pertaining to the relationship between different social media channels in the age of social media. To do this, the relevant literature has been thoroughly reviewed, and exploratory research method has been used. The study also aims to visualize the effect of cultural differences as aligned with the study of Edward Hall (1967) and Gert Hoftstede (1984). Cultural factors exert a broad and deep influence on social media choices. Arab countries are categorized as high-context culture according to Hall's dimensions. The social media reports, Arab Social Media, conducted by Dubai School of Government of the years from 2013, 2013 and 2017 were analyzed. The limited availability of the literature done on the region has limited the scope and analysis of the research. The paper concludes that social media has certain characteristics that interrelate with each other and culture has a moderation effect on the choices.

Proverbs listed by Chinese college students, who are often at the leading edge of cultural change, provide a window into the dynamic interplay of traditionality and modernity. Using thematic analysis, Study 1 examined popular proverbs listed frequently by Chinese college students (n = 298) and the embedded values. Study 2, which was a survey, examined Chinese college students' (n = 240) endorsement of individualism, collectivism, and the values identified in Study 1, and the predictive associations of individualism and collectivism with the values. Findings in Study 1 revealed 103 frequently listed proverbs and eight embedded values (i.e., Learnedness, Diligence, Practical Orientation, Collective Orientation, Social Relationship, Moral Virtue, Free Spirit, and Optimism). Findings in Study 2 indicated participants endorsed Practical Orientation and Learnedness the most, followed by Diligence, Moral Virtue, Social Relationship, Collective Orientation, Optimism, and Free Spirit. Furthermore, although Chinese young adults are more individualistic than collectivistic, collectivism remains a stronger predictor of the values uncovered in the proverbs. The value dynamics in general revealed tensions and harmony between Confucianism and Daoism and the hybridisation of tradition, modernisation, and Western individualism, thus reflecting the complexity of Chinese young adults' social psychology.

“…Participants : We determined our sample size based on Du et al () using G*Power (Faul, Erdfelder, Lang, & Buchner, ) ( α = .05 and power = .90), resulting in a total sample size of at least 199. Two hundred and twenty‐seven participants (136 females; age: M = 32.30, SD = 7.35, range = 16–64) were recruited from http://sojump.com, which is analogous to Amazon Mechanical Turk (Buhrmester, Kwang, & Gosling, ) and has been used in other research (e.g., Zhang & Weng, ). They completed all tasks and received RMB 15 yuan as monetary compensation.…”

According to the terror management theory, people tend to favour their worldview and in‐group members after being reminded of death (i.e., mortality salience [MS] effect). However, inconsistent findings of the MS effect were found among Chinese people. In the present study, we examined the MS effect with Chinese samples and tested whether the effect would depend on participants' cultural orientation and relational self‐esteem. In Studies 1 (N = 227) and 2 (N = 221), we examined the roles of participants' cultural orientations and relational self‐esteem in their evaluations on moral transgression and/or perceived regard from people around after being primed with mortality (vs. dental pain) salience. We obtained the interaction effects of mortality salience, cultural orientations, and relational self‐esteem. The implications of these results are discussed in the context of Chinese culture.
