“…Terdapat lima asumsi dalam teori ini, yaitu: 1) Khalayak bersifat aktif; 2) khalayak berorientasi pada tujuan; 3) konsumsi media memberikan gratifikasi yang berbeda terhadap kebutuhan khalyak; 4) khalayak memiliki kesadara pribadi yang cukup untuk memahami dan menjelaskan alasan untuk memilih media tertentu; Hal ini diperkuat oleh Hu (2016), yang menyatakan bahwa manusia tidak hanya mengkonsumsi konten media untuk memenuhi kebutuhannya, tetapi juga menggunakan bentuk media tersebut untuk memenuhi kebutuhan yang agresif.…”

“…Perundungan maya secara umum didefinisikan sebagai bentuk perilaku mengancam orang lain yang disengaja, berulang yang menggunakan teknologi komunikasi seperti surat elektronik, pesan instan, blog, ruang chatting, game online dan sebagainya (Hu, 2016). Para pelaku perundungan maya lebih memilih jenis media dibandingkan isi dari media tersebut.…”

“…Patchin dan Hinduja (2006) menyatakan anonimitas di ruang siber, membuat perundungan maya lebih sulit untuk dihentikan. Lebih lanjut, Hu (2016) menyatakan bahwa individu terlibat pada perundungan maya, pelaku lebih aktif dibandingkan pelaku perundungan tradisional. Menurut Ybrra dan Mitchell (2004), kemampuan seseorang untuk menyembunyikan identitasnya merupakan sebuah metode yang unik untuk menegaskan dominasinya, yang mana hal ini tidak didapatkan melalui perundungan konvensional.…”

A survey conducted by Polling Indonesia in collaboration with the Indonesian Internet Service Providers Association (APJII) found that around 49% of netizens had been the target of bullying on social media. Both traditional bullying and that occurred in cyberspace, arose as a result of imbalance of power between the perpetrator and the victim. The Uses and Gratification theory is used to see what reasons or motivations bullies have for carrying out bullying in cyberspace. Data was collected using a survey method with an instrument in the form of a questionnaire. The data was then analyzed descriptively by looking at the average of each question item. The underlying motivation for perpetrators to bully on social media is anonymity, it is a fun thing to do, it relieves boredom, jealousy, and it is also a form of self-defense from unpleasant acts they experience on social media. From the victim experiences of bullying on social media is being harassed by hurtful sentences in the form of hate speech, ridicule/insults, and sentences that make them uncomfortable. On the other hand, what bullies most often do is upload other parties' chats without the owner's permission

“…Uses and Gratification Theory (UGT) offers a framework to understand why individuals may seek out and use specific media to meet certain needs (Rubin, 2002) and has been applied to a range of online behaviors including cyberbullying (Hu, 2016;Tanrikulu and Erdur-Baker, 2019). Equally, it can be applied to OIBEV, which may serve a need to gratify via content (i.e., the images themselves) or serve process gratification needs (i.e., purposefully navigating to answer a question) by exploring whether one's images have been posted.…”

“…Cyberbullying constitutes a form of online aggression, involving intentional and repeated harm inflicted on another via electronic means (Patchin and Hinduja, 2006). Perpetrators of cyberbullying derive gratification from their actions, perceiving themselves in a position of power relative to their victim(s; Patchin and Hinduja, 2006), and perpetration has been explained with reference to UGT, with cyberbullying offering opportunities for entertainment, revenge or domination of others (Hu, 2016;Tanrikulu and Erdur-Baker, 2019). Cyberbullying behaviors typically include threats, spread of harmful or untrue information about the targeted person(s), exclusion, and "outing, " acts of public sharing of private, intimate, and potentially embarrassing information or images of the victim(s; Willard, 2007).…”

Just Checking It Out? Motivations for and Behavioral Associations With Visiting “Slutpages” in the United States and Australia

et al. 2021

“Slutpages” are a pernicious form of online image-based evaluative voyeurism (OIBEV), whereby (sexualized) images of women are posted on webpages for (predominantly) male groups to rate and comment. Despite media and public concern, OIBEV sites have garnered limited empirical study. This paper presents the first analysis of OIBEV site visitation motivations across United States and Australian samples. Participants comprised a convenience sample of 1148 young adults aged 18 to 29 years (M = 22.54, SD = 2.50); 53.0% women, 47.0% men; 54% residing in the U.S. and 46% in Australia. Respondents completed an online questionnaire. Overall, 23% of United States and 16% of Australian respondents had visited OIBEV sites. OIBEV site visitation was uniquely associated with gender and country (with men and United States being more likely to visit OIBEV sites), requesting and disseminating sexts and having one’s own image shared. Cyberbullying perpetration was associated with reduced odds of OIBEV site visitation. Motivations differed by gender, with men (80%) being most likely to visit sites to “check them out” while women were equally likely to check it out (41%) or to see if they were depicted (36%). For men, unique predictors of OIBEV site visitation were having requested, disseminated and received disseminated sexts, lower levels of anxiety and reduced likelihood of cyberbullying perpetration. For women, OIBEV site visitation was uniquely associated with being a United States resident, sext dissemination victimization, receipt of disseminated sexts, higher levels of anxiety but reduced stress. Our findings confirm that OIBEV sites represent a highly gendered form of online image-based sexual abuse, and may have important mental health implications, given the associations with increased anxiety. Our results support the need for “slutpage” education for adolescents and young adults to address social and peer norms that encourage and support non-consensual use of intimate images.
