“…We concur with the research that argues that privacy concerns do not necessarily reduce the use of SNSs (Gross and Acquisti, 2005) if there is a perception of privacy protection (Shin, 2010). While unexpected, the finding is in line with Leong and Kim (2017), who report that privacy concerns are related to others, rather than to the self. Therefore, although users may have privacy concerns, they do not necessarily affect their online socialization (i.e., building and maintaining relationships) (Dwyer et al, 2007).…”

“…Concerns are raised when users are not able to control the use of their information. Leong and Kim (2017) show that SNS users' privacy concerns are influenced by posts made by others on their Facebook timelines. Therefore, a user may exercise caution when posting materials and socialize less because they fear that their information may be used by others for purposes with which they do not agree.…”

“…The predictors of socialization are hypothesized in H1, H2 and H3. Previous studies show a positive effect of propensity to share and intensity of use on socialization, whilst privacy concerns have a negative effect on socialization (e.g., Ellison et al, 2007;Kim et al, 2011;Leong and Kim, 2017;Park et al, 2015;Sheldon, 2008;Wolny and Mueller, 2013).…”

“…As the model shows, the relationship between socialization and political involvement is moderated by cultural orientation, that is, the degree of acculturation. In line with Kim and Lee (2011), Leong and Kim (2017), and Sheldon (2008) we conceptualize the propensity to share, intensity of SNS use and privacy concerns as antecedents of socialization. The proposed relationships and hypotheses are discussed in detail in the next section.…”

This research examines the extent to which immigrant consumers' use of social networking sites affect their socialization and political engagement in the Netherlands. The study uses selfadministered questionnaires to collect data from 514 Turkish-Dutch respondents of various ages, occupations, levels of education and locations in the Netherlands. The study finds that the propensity to share information, the intensity of use, and privacy concerns positively impact socialization on online social networking sites. In addition, a significant positive relationship between socialization and political involvement positively impacts voting intentions. The study also examines the interaction effects of enculturation and acculturation orientations on the relationship between socialization and political involvement. The study's findings point to a positive moderating role of acculturation in this relationship but a negative one for enculturation. The study is the first to investigate simultaneously the drivers of socialization on social networking sites in the context of immigrant consumers and the impact of their socialization on political involvement and voting intention. The research further contributes to the scholarly work by exploring the interaction effects of acculturation and enculturation orientation. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

“…Notable benefits of SNSs identified by a previous study include the creation of relationships, sharing of content and opinions, entertainment and communication (Woo & Lee 2017). Regardless of the positive side of SNS usage, concerns have emerged over their potential to be addictive, and there are also concerns about privacy of users and control of information (Jeong & Kim 2017). This study focuses on the most used SNSs, namely, Facebook (García-domingo et al 2017).…”

Orientation: Recent trends in the world show a growing usage of social networking sites. Research has grown in interest on understanding uses of social networking sites by different groups of people. With increasing numbers of international students being hosted by South African institutions, it is imperative that special focus should be directed towards understanding their usage of social networking sites as part of their lived experience.Research purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the motives influencing Facebook usage amongst international students at a rural campus in South Africa.Motivation for the study: Continued increase in international student enrolment at South African institutions, coupled with rising popularity of social networking sites amongst university students, has presented a new area to carry out research of this nature. Research approach, design and method:A quantitative research approach was followed in carrying out this study. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed to answer the research questions of the study. The respondents (n = 158) were international students enrolled at a rural university campus in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa during the 2016 academic year. Main findings:Motives for Facebook usage were found to be positively related to Facebook usage. Practical and managerial implications:Findings of this study can assist international education practitioners to develop strategies that will aid in understanding how international students operate in the higher education context.

The use of contact‐tracing apps to curb the spreading of the COVID‐19 pandemic has stimulated social media debates on consumers' privacy concerns about the use and storage of sensitive data and on conspiracy theories positing that these apps are part of plans against individuals' freedom. By analyzing the type of language of tweets, we found which words, linguistic style, and emotions conveyed by tweets are more likely to be associated with consumers' privacy concerns and conspiracy theories and how they affect virality. To do so, we analyze a set of 5615 tweets related to the Italian tracing app “Immuni”. Results suggest that consumers' privacy concerns and conspiracy theories belong to different domains and exert different effects on the virality of tweets. Furthermore, the characteristics of the text (namely, complexity, certainty and emotions) cue different Twitter users' behaviors. This study helps researchers and managers to infer the psychological mechanisms that lead people to spread tweets about privacy concerns and conspiracy theories as well as how these texts impact the user who receives it.
