“…The study has also deepened existing understanding of the information privacy calculus and their implications on information disclosure behaviors on social media by highlighting that competent users are likely to be selective in their use of the privacy settings on social media platforms. The results also provided an interesting revelation about the disclosure behavior of users and the benefits derived, which is consistent with the idea that human needs traditionally are key determinants of human behavior [83,95]. As noted by the self-determination theory, relatedness, competence and autonomy are not only innate but that being able to satisfy them are critical for proper functioning and well-being [82,86].…”

“…Demirbaş-Çelik and Keklik in a study of high school students in Turkey report that each psychological need (competence, relatedness and autonomy) partially mediated the relationship between stability and presence of meaning in life [86]. On the other hand, only competence and relatedness partially mediated the relationship between plasticity and search of meaning [83]. The findings suggest that competent users are more likely to self-determine how their personal information is used on social media.…”

“…Competence is the ability to control the outcome of an activity and experience mastery of that task, which relates to the need to perform successful social interactions with skills and ability. Relatedness is associated with the universal need to be connected to an experience caring for others and autonomy refers to the need to decide one's own behavior and act freely in accordance with their interests and beliefs [7,78,83]. For example, autonomy entails ability to act with a sense of volition and having the experience of choice.…”

A number of social media platforms have emerged as dominant medium for societal discourse, enabling significant user involvement in creation and shaping of social media contents. However, the phenomenon raises the challenge of digital identity management on such platforms in order to maintain reputations and ensure information privacy preservation. This study examined the factors that influence users’ decision to disclose personal information on Social Media and their antecedents. We employed a mixed-methods approach based on analysis of data of 250 respondents from tertiary institutions in Ghana, and 8 focus group discussions comprising 86 participants. The results revealed a lack of user awareness and appreciation of the limitations of the privacy settings on social media platforms. Secondly, we observed that users’ ability to establish the legitimacy of parties to social media interactions are fundamental requirements in how individuals engage social media. Finally, there is a disparity between information privacy concerns and actual privacy practices of users on social media.

“…Conversely, self‐oriented perfectionism refers to students’ own adherence to exceedingly high personal standards, often coupled with a high level of self‐criticism. Past studies showed that students’ personality traits (e.g., conscientiousness, agreeableness) presented statistically significant associations with their level of psychological need satisfaction (Demirbaş‑Çelik & Keklik, ; Sulea et al, ). However, despite the well‐documented importance of perfectionism in education (Bong, Hwang, Noh, & Kim, ), no variable‐ or person‐centered research has yet looked at the possible relations between students’ levels of socially prescribed and self‐oriented perfectionism and their levels of need satisfaction.…”

Self-determination theory positions the satisfaction of students' needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness as important determinants of various educational outcomes. In this study, we identify subpopulations of students characterized by distinct configurations of need satisfaction in the educational context, and assess the extent to which the nature of these configurations, and students' individual profiles, remain stable over the course of a university semester. We also examine the role of perfectionism in the prediction of profile membership, and how these profiles relate to a variety of educational outcomes. A total of 521 first-year undergraduate university students completed our measures at the beginning and end of a university semester. We identified five need satisfaction profiles, which remained unchanged over the course of the study. Students characterized by higher levels of self-oriented perfectionism were more

“…In addition to external circumstances, other variables have been related to the sense of meaning in life, as well as to the ability to cope with stress and crisis. One of these is the individual’s perception of their interpersonal relationships with the people close to them (Demirbaş-Çelik & Keklik, 2019 ; Goodman et al, 2019 ; O’Donnell et al, 2014 ; Van Bavel et al, 2020 ). For new mothers, the closest relationships are generally with the spouse and the child.…”

Meaning in Life among New Mothers before and during the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Role of Mothers’ Marital Satisfaction and Perception of the Infant

2021

On the assumption that existential questions may arise in the face of the transition to motherhood in the shadow of a global crisis, we sought to compare the levels of presence of meaning and search for meaning in life between two samples of new mothers: one recruited before the outbreak of COVID-19, and the other during the pandemic. In addition, we examined the associations between mother's marital satisfaction and perception of the infant on the one hand, and the two aspects of meaning in life on the other, investigating whether these variables mediate the link between research group and meaning in life. The results indicate that mothers reported significantly higher perception of infant's warmth and presence of meaning before than during the pandemic. Furthermore, they displayed greater marital satisfaction and more search for meaning during the pandemic than prior to it. For the whole sample, higher marital satisfaction and perception of infant’s warmth were related to higher presence of meaning, and lower marital satisfaction and perception of the infant's invasiveness were related to higher search for meaning. Finally, mother's marital satisfaction and perception of the infant fully mediated the relationship between the research group and the two aspects of meaning in life. These findings are significant in that they provide, for the first time, evidence of changes in meaning in life among new mothers in a crisis situation, along with the importance of their perceptions of their relationships with the infant and spouse under these circumstances.
