Sociala medier används mer än någonsin förr, och har utvecklats till en viktig, integrerad del utav samhället. I samband med detta har även möjligheten att utnyttja sociala medier i kombination med undervisning blivit en realitet. Utgångspunkten för vår studie är att undersöka hur en utav de mest populära sociala medierna, Facebook, upplevs i undervisningssyfte, utifrån lärarperspektivet.Syftet med vår undersökning är att granska hur väl lärare anser Facebook vara lämpligt att integrera i sin undervisning. Ett av delmålen var även att utifrån lärarnas åsikter skapa en konkret lista över risker och möjligheter kopplat till detta. Vi har därmed intervjuat sex stycken lärare på grundskole- och gymnasienivå. Resultaten är analyserade med fenomenografisk ansats.Alla lärare är överens om att det både finns risker och möjligheter med att använda Facebook i undervisningen. Bland de mest nämnda riskerna är att Facebook lätt kan bli ett distraktionsmoment för eleverna, och att det kräver tid och kunskap ifrån lärarnas sida. De vanligaste möjligheterna som framkommit är att Facebooks verktyg för kommunikation bidrar positivt till undervisningen, både socialt och praktiskt, samt dess dragningskraft, d.v.s. att information enklare når ut till eleverna. Utöver detta är det en risk att Facebook konkurrerar med skolans lärplattform, vilket man måste acceptera, eftersom lärplattformen fortfarande bidrar med administrativa verktyg som Facebook i dagens läge inte kan ersätta.

Idag är Facebooks grupper en social plats där individer samlas för att skapa en gemenskap och tillhörighet med varandra. Det är en plats som gruppmedlemmarna kan yttra sina åsikter och diskutera gemensamma frågor med varandra. Bland dessa grupper finner man även föräldragrupper. I dessa grupper kan föräldrar samlas och diskutera allt som har med föräldraskapet att göra. Syftet med denna studie har varit att studera hur föräldrar samtalar med varandra för att skapa ramen för föräldraskapet. Metoden för studien har varit netnografi genom en icke-deltagande observation detta för att inte påverka materialet. För att svara på syftet och frågeställningarna har analysen använt sig utav teoriramen norm och social interaktion, språk genom makt samt sigma och den sociala identiteten. Genom detta framkom det olika teman där bland annat språket relevans för tolkning behandlas, roller inom föräldraskapet och olika förväntningarna som gruppmedlemmarna har på föräldrar. Olika faktorer som framkommer i grupperna är att exempelvis så gör gruppmedlemmarna skillnad på mammans och pappans roller samt att föräldrarna alltid bör vara med sina barn. / <p>2023-06-01</p>

Denna uppsats granskar kommentarer som utförts på Facebook för att åskådliggöra vilka drag som används. Syftet med uppsatsen är att se om det framkommer skillnader i språket gentemot manliga och kvinnliga partiledare. Analysen av språkbruket är en tolkningsprocess med stöd av Hellspong och Ledins teori om stilaxlar. Materialet innehåller hundrasextio kommentarer som är hämtade ur åtta partiledares Facebook-flöde. Resultatet visar att de kvinnliga partiledarna blir bemötta med fler kommentarer än de manliga partiledarna som är dialogskapande, innehåller formella ord och har en konkret framställning där ämnet till inläggen är i fokus. De manliga partiledarna har fått motta fler kommentarer än de kvinnliga partiledarna där språket upplevs vara informellt, monologiskt och har en abstrakt framställning som skapar en allmän beskrivning av svaren på inläggen.

The primary objective of the research was to examine the motivations behind members’ participation in Tesla’s online community on Facebook and explore how member interaction influences engagement and loyalty towards Tesla. The emergence of new technologies has intensified the complexity of understanding user behaviors. This study contributes to an enhanced understanding of how individuals utilize media to fulfill various needs, impacting behaviors and attitudes. Previous research indicates that online community participants seek belonging, information, social interaction, entertainment, and self-realization. Active involvement, information sharing, and stronger relationships within brand communities enhance consumer-brand relations and serve as exit barriers. Therefore, three research questions were formulated to shed light on members’ motivations for participation, their level of involvement, relationships within the community, and their impact on customer loyalty. Positioned within popular culture studies and with a framework consisting of Brand Community Theory and Uses and Gratifications Theory, a qualitative content analysis was conducted on 10 semi-structured interviews. Findings suggest varying motivations for participation, with primary emphasis on gathering product information. Active engagement through knowledge-sharing fosters a sense of unity and heightens involvement. The social interaction among Tesla enthusiasts not only enhances engagement but also cultivates customer loyalty by fostering meaningful relationships. Members' roles as "working consumers", and Tesla’s responsiveness to suggestions, positively influence customer loyalty, reinforcing the community's value. However, member passivity due to negativity or unfulfilled entertainment needs can result in diminished engagement and subsequently affect customer loyalty negatively.

Social networking sites, such as Facebook and MySpace, have become increasingly popular among teens and young adults because of the availability of the internet. Because these websites promote interpersonal connections and information sharing among individuals around the world, personal information to online "friends" may be shared carelessly. However, little is known about the correlation between engaging in online activities, sharing personal information online, and susceptibility to online victimization and cyberbullying. This study analyzes data from the Parents & Teens 2006 Survey to examine the applicability of Routine Activities Theory as a theoretical framework for understanding cybervictimization and cyberbullying. Online teens and teens on social networking sites (SNS) were examined separately in this study to determine if social networking (SNS) teens were at an increased risk. The results indicated that participating in online activities and sharing personal information increased the risk for receiving a threatening email, instant message or text message. Teens whose parents did not have rules regulating their online activities and behaviors were also at an increased risk for receiving a threatening email, instant message or text message. The logistic regression models show that for social networking (SNS) teens, gender and age increase the odds of receiving a threat, compared to online teens.

Facebook is the reigning king of Social Networking Sites (SNSs). Due to Facebook’s impact on current culture, researchers have been focused on how it interacts with its members on a variety of issues including well-being, personal identity, personality type, and motivation. While the topics of personality type and motivation have been investigated separately, their possible relationship has not been examined until now. Participants consisted of 415 students from the University of Central Florida were surveyed with an International Personality Item Pool (IPIP), a Facebook Intensity Survey, and a Facebook Motivation Scale. Results showed that the personality traits of agreeableness, conscientiousness, and emotional stability were positively related to intrinsic and extrinsic motivation to make posts on Facebook, extraversion was found to be related to extrinsic motivation to make posts, and intellect was found to have almost no relationship to motivation. In addition, participants who were higher in the traits of agreeableness, conscientiousness, and emotional stability were more likely to be more intensely involved in Facebook than those who were high in extraversion and intellect. Finally, I found that participants who were more intensely involved in Facebook experienced more motivation to make posts on Facebook.

Most previous research on online social networks (OSNs) has focused on the adoption and continuation of OSN as it is a newer form of social media the usage of which has increased over time. However, very little research has explored the discontinuation of users from OSN usage. Using disengagement theory, this study examines the roles of fear of missing out and addiction along with other factors such as victimization, well-being, privacy concerns, alternative attractiveness, and social influence in the disengagement process from OSN usage. The proposed conceptual model is evaluated using survey design. A preliminary investigation consisting of expert panel review, pretest, and pilot test is conducted to ensure measurement validity. A primary investigation consisting of reliability and validity testing, model fit test (i.e. goodness of fit), common method bias test, and t-test is conducted to ensure validity of structural model. The data are analyzed to recommend the findings. The study found that intention to disengage from OSN leads to actual disengagement, thus, bridging the gap between intention and actual behavior. Attractive alternatives to existing OSN, privacy concerns, and negative psychosocial wellbeing were found to positively influence intention to disengage from a specific OSN. Perceived enjoyment and social influence were found to negatively affect intention disengage from OSN. The findings also indicated that the influence of alternative attractiveness on intention to disengage from an OSN will be moderated by the fear of missing out, such that the influence will be weaker. Similarly, the influence of negative psychosocial well-being on intention to disengage from an OSN will be moderated by the fear of missing out, such that the influence will be weaker. These findings contribute to the information systems and OSN research literature by introducing several theories to expand the concepts of fear of missing out and addiction in studying disengagement process from OSN usage. Besides, there are several implications of this research on practice such as understanding the impact of dark sides of OSNs in a user’s disengagement process from OSN usage.
