“…The users of online social networks experience satisfaction because they are socially connected with like-minded members of a virtual community. They also enjoy opportunities for accessing market information about products and services, which increases their self-esteem and social capital (Valenzuela, Park, & Kee, 2009). The terms "embracement and embedment" have been used in past studies and have been adapted to describe the sustainable pervasive adoption of SNS.…”

“…Based on this evidence, it is assumed that people with optimistic attitudes towards sustained use of SNS may have a stronger probability for sustainable pervasive adoption and acceptance of a social networking site, which further increases the social advantage integrated with these technologies (Ifinedo, 2016). Consumers with little intention to use SNS will have a passive attitude with regard to participation in these online services and experience no social benefits (Valenzuela et al, 2009).

The rise of social networking sites (SNS) has changed our ways of communicating and conducting business all over the world. The present study explored the factors affecting the pervasive adoption of SNS by employing the use and gratification theory in considering their entertainment value, social influence, process of compliance, internalization, identification, and trust to investigate the sustainability of intentions to use SNS. This study also focused on the mediating effect of the relationship between trust and intentions to use SNS through users' attitudes which were significantly correlated with positive responses towards intention. Responses were gathered through a questionnaire survey, and PLS-SEM was used for the analysis of data. Seven out of eight hypotheses were supported and meaningful information was obtained in this study, which operators and designers can use as a guide for the development of sustainable SNS.

This article presents an analysis of the views of younger bisexual and lesbian women and transgender youth living in a western Canadian small city on their sexual and gender identities. Data were collected through focus groups and interviews and analyzed thematically through an intersectional lens. The purposive sample was composed of 13 youth who identified as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ) and whose average age was 19.8 years. The analytical themes of (1) living in a small town, (2) identifying and being identified, and (3) talking intersectionality indicate that the sexual identities and gender identities and expressions of LGBTQ youth change across time and context and are impacted by often overlooked factors including faith, Indigenous ancestry, disability, and class. Further, the size and character of the community significantly impacts LGBTQ youth identity development and expression. This research demonstrates the uniqueness of individual youth's experiences-opposing notions of milestone events as singularly important in queer youth identity development.
