“…In some instances, multiple sources were consulted. Designing questionnaires in this manner is common in the fields of both social psychology (personality component) and behavioral technology research ( Judge et al., 2002 ; Park et al., 2017 ; Verswijvel et al., 2018 ; Lee and Borah, 2020 ).…”

The unauthorized use of personal information belonging to users of apps integrated with the Facebook platform affects millions of users. Crucially, although privacy concerns and awareness have increased, the use of these apps, and related privacy behaviors, remain largely unchanged. Given that such privacy behaviors are likely influenced by individuals' personality traits, it is imperative to better understand which personality traits make individuals more vulnerable to such unauthorized uses. We build on a recontextualized version of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to evaluate the influence of the Big Five personality traits on attitudes toward Facebook privacy settings, social norms, and information privacy concerns (IPCs)—all within the context of Facebook app use. To evaluate this study's model, we analyzed 576 survey responses by way of partial least squares path modeling. Results indicate that highly extraverted individuals are particularly vulnerable to privacy violations (e.g., unauthorized use of personal information) because of their negative attitudes toward Facebook privacy settings. Our post hoc analysis uncovered interesting combinations of personality traits that make individuals particularly vulnerable to the unauthorized use of app-based information. In particular, the combination of extraversion and conscientiousness had a negative effect on individuals' attitude toward privacy settings. We also found a significant negative relationship between IPCs and intention to use Facebook apps . Finally, we found a positive relationship between social norms and intentions. Taken together, these results infer that individuals are likely to be influenced by their peers in the use of Facebook apps but that their intentions to use these apps declines as privacy concerns increase.

“…Later on, social information and individual experiences were also added to the measures of media richness (Ishii et al, 2019). Recent studies have expanded MRT to social media and showed there is a valance variation in the ability of social media to convey specific types of messages; for example, the perceived media richness of Instagram was found to be more related to young adults' self-presentation via photos and videos while on Facebook and Twitter it more relies on openness in writing (longer or shorter) texts (Lee and Borah, 2020).…”

Prejudice Toward Asian Americans in the Covid-19 Pandemic: The Effects of Social Media Use in the United States

2020

The ongoing Covid-19 outbreak has brought increased incidents of racism, discrimination, and violence against "Asians," particularly in the United States, with reports of hate crimes of over 100 per day. Since January 2020, many Asian Americans have reported suffering racial slurs, wrongful workplace termination, being spat on, physical violence, extreme physical distancing, etc., as media and government officials increasingly stigmatize and blame Asians for the spread of Covid-19. The links with social media are increasingly evident, as anti-Asian sentiment increases, with reports of anti-Asian sentiment spreading and Asian-Americans fighting hate via social media. Using integrated threat theory, this study explores the links between prejudice/hate toward Asians-Americans, in particular Chinese, and social media use. Three key results emerged from the study. First, the more a social media user believes their most used daily social media is fair, accurate, presents the facts, and is concerned about the public (social media believe), the more likely that user is to believe Chinese pose a realistic and symbolic threat to America. Second, men and women significantly differed on each type of prejudice, with men scoring higher on intergroup anxiety and women higher on symbolic and realistic threat. Third, respondents who do not use social media on a daily basis are less likely than those who use Facebook to perceive Chinese as a symbolic threat. Implications and recommendations for practitioners, health workers and government are proposed.

“…Instagram first differentiated itself from other social media as a platform that helps user transform their photos into lasting memories [2]. With the social media affordances of persistence and recordability [3], Instagram posts can be kept as persistent contents for purposes like self-presentation [6], social-interaction, or curation [2], which can be deleted only if users wish to do so.…”

In this study, we examined how users strategically leveraged the two affordances, content persistence and ephemerality, for selfpresentation and relationship maintenance on Instagram. In contrast to other social media platforms that usually support either persistent (e.g., Twitter) or transient content sharing (e.g., Snapchat), Instagram affords both functions through regular posts and shortlived Story. We conducted a seven-day diary study on Instagram users (n=13) and used the data as probes for follow-up in-depth one-on-one interview. Our findings show that people deliberately curated persistent posts to present their ideal images. In contrast, ephemeral Story shows more authentic and casual sides of self. With the interpersonal and ephemeral touch, Story creates more private and directed engagement among users and their audiences than the interactions derived from posts. Story also helps users develop deeper relationships and extended interaction with others without experiencing "context-collapse. "
