Detta är en fallstudie som undersökt journalister på nyhetsredaktionen Sydsvenskan. Uppsatsen innehållernetnografisk undersökning samt kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer. Kvalitativa intervjuer har undersökt hur journalister hanterar trovärdigheten vid publicering av nyheter på Facebook, samt hur de arbetar för att öka sin trovärdighet. Dettaför att kunna utröna journalisters förändrade arbetssituation i och med att tekniken har utvecklats. Netnografisk metod har använts för att ta reda på spänningar och likheter mellan resultatet från intervjuerna och Sydsvenskans Facebook konto. Slutsatsen som kan dras av denna uppsats är att journalister inte ser sin upplevda trovärdighet som ett problem och att journalisterna är positivt inställda till Facebook. Dock finns det meningsskiljaktigheter mellan respondenterna om huruvida Facebooks tvåvägskommunikation är rätt väg att föra samtal med läsaren med,resultatet visar ävenatt de inte arbetar aktivt med att öka sin trovärdighet. / This is a case study that researchedjournalists on the news editor Sydsvenskan. The thesis contains a netnographic methodand qualitative semi structuredinterviews. Qualitative interviews have investigated how journalists handle the credibility of publishing news on Facebook, as well as how they work to increase their credibility and to investigate journalists' changing work situation as technology evolves. Netnographic method has been used to find tensions and similarities between the results of the interviews and Sydsvenskan's Facebook account. The conclusion that can be drawn from this thesisis that journalists do not see their perceived credibility as a problem and that journalists are positively tuned to Facebook. However, there are differences of opinion between respondents about whether Facebook's two-way communication is the right way to make conversations with the reader. The result also shows that they do not work actively to increase their credibility.

Stress affects individuals' physiology, mood, behavior, and cognitive abilities. Social support has been found effective in buffering stress. The social networking site Facebook allows individuals to connect to others to share stories, pictures, and general life events and, in so doing, offers a means of social support that bridges geographical distances for friends and family. There is limited research, however, on whether using Facebook buffers against stress. The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine the use of Facebook for social support using the conservation of resources theoretical model of stress management. Fifty-seven Facebook users over the age of 18, participated in the study. Multiple regressions were used to test hypotheses for two research questions. These questions examined the combined and relative effects of face-to-face social support, Facebook social support, stress, age, sex, number of Facebook friends, and percentage of Facebook friends who are also in the participant's face-to-face support group in accounting for variance in resource loss, resource threat, and resource gain, as well as the extent the set of predictors differentially predict resource loss, resource threat, and resource gain. This resulted in several key findings. Facebook social support and being female predicted Facebook resource gain. Face-to-face social support positively predicted face-to-face resource gain and negatively predicted Facebook resource loss whereas stress positively predicted resource threat. The results of this study may contribute to positive social change by providing research-based results on how individuals might gain additional social support to help replenish their resource pools and buffer against stress.

Social media's impact on nonprofit organizations' annual fund revenues has not been widely studied. The purpose of this case study was to examine how one organization used Facebook and Twitter to build and maintain relationships with its constituents and how those relationships affected annual fund revenues. The organization selected was a national voluntary health nonprofit that conducts research on pediatric brain tumors causes and treatments and provides support to families facing a diagnosis. Hon and Grunig's measurements for long-term organization-public relationships and Kelly's theory of fundraising were the conceptual basis for this study. Data were collected through interviews with employees and constituents, organizational social media analytics such as Facebook Insights, and a week of Facebook and Twitter content. Data were coded inductively and analyzed using classical content analysis. Results indicate that although both the organization constituents and employees interviewed saw social media as a valuable tool to communicate information, it was not having a direct, immediate effect on annual fund revenues. Recommendations were that the organization leaders consider expanding to other social media platforms and track constituents with whom they frequently interact to determine if they make a gift or fundraise through an event in the future. The positive social change implications of this study include recommendations to nonprofit leaders to connect with their constituents with the cost-effective tool of social media and to track how it affects direct donations or participation in its fundraising events. An organization that can keep its expenses low as it connects with its constituents could direct more of its annual revenues into its mission.

Although youth aged 12-17 years old constitute a growing segment of Facebook users, the impact social networking websites may have on their psyche has not been well-studied. Additionally, researchers have not investigated peer pressure as a mediator between individuals overall attachment to Facebook and the desire to be involved in a romantic relationship among teens or adults. The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine the connection between Facebook attachment and perceived peer pressure, specifically with regard to romantic relationships in individuals aged 14-17 years. Impression management theory served as the theoretical framework. A survey design was used to examine whether study variables (Facebook attachment, perceived peer pressure, and romantic relationship desires) were correlated with one another and whether Facebook attachment served as a mediating variable. Participants (N = 42) completed online surveys comprised of three established surveys that measure levels of perceived peer pressure, interest in romantic relationships, and overall Facebook attachment. Data were examined using correlational analysis. No significant correlations were found between any study variables. Because of the lack of statistical significance, no decisive conclusions can be rendered. Recommendations for future research include the use of different recruitment methods and the updating of assent and consent regulations for psychological research involving minors. The study provides a starting point for future researchers to evaluate the role of social media in adolescent development. Implications for positive social change include a greater awareness of the role of social media in the psychological development of young teens.

The aim of this multiple and independent quantitative and qualitative methods study was to investigate the relevance of Facebook groups for doctoral students during their dissertation process. A convenience sampling approach was used to survey quantitatively the Texas A&M Ed.D. online doctoral students who met the inclusion criteria. The participants completed a valid, web-based survey using the Doctoral Student Connectedness Scale (DSCS, Terrell et al., 2009). Purposeful sampling was used to recruit a sub-sample of participants who subsequently responded to semi-structured interview questions via web conferencing. Quantitative data analysis involved descriptive statistics using SPSS for Mac. Content analysis of the qualitative data was performed using QSR NVivo 11 software. Ethnographic and Thematic analysis used Saldaña’s (2013) two-stage eclectic coding, where emergent themes helped explain the quantitative analysis results. These results revealed that student-to-student regular communications was the only DSCS indicator proven to be statistically/practically significant. While the quantitative results of this study were inconsistent with the results of previous studies, the qualitative data provided additional understanding of the indicators regarding the student-to-student connectedness factor and the CoP by offering their theoretical themes and their emerging themes described as alternate communications. These preferred forms of communication added perspective to low-quality relationships by further explaining that students abandoned the cohort Facebook group due to an institutional procedure designed to divide the cohort into smaller thematic groups. Because the success expressed by the doctoral student cohort group failed to be reproduced in the smaller thematic groups, it is recommended that newly structured thematic constructs incorporate the student input presented in this study.

The university church of Sweden is a religious organization that is active on 30 campuses towards higher education in the nation. The main objective of the or- ganization, which works on an ecumenical level, is to provide support for the staff and students at the universities and by doing so arrange activities and provide a listening ear towards the targeted group. The objective of the study is to provide knowledge about the organization from the perspective of inner secularization from Karin Johannessons point of view through the anthology inomkyrklig seku- larisering (2018) by studying the organizations physical activities. The method is based on a quantitative content analysis that covers approximately 1400 activities in 10 cities provided by the university church from Malmö in the south to Luleå in the north of Sweden. The goal is also to cover a time perspective of over 2.5 years to give the study a broad perspective on the activities. By doing so the study also covers what nature the activities have that is offered and how they differ from each other when it comes to a comparison, campus to campus. The result shows a complex image where approximately 2/3 of the activities provided is secular and the other third Christian in nature according through the lens of the theoretical framework. The organization differs a lot from city to city when it comes to most aspects regarding Christian and secular approaches. It also differs in activity level on Facebook and what kind of priorities the organization tend to have towards the student and staff population on each of the Universities.
