Social comparison, social networking sites, and the workplaceTomasik, Rachel E. January 2015 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Although social comparison has been studied for over 60 years, little research has
been done to determine the effects it has on the workplace. Moreover, the explosion of
social networking sites and their potential impact on the workplace have been largely
overlooked by organizational researchers. Therefore, this study will attempt to evaluate
the effect social comparison, specifically through social media, has on work relevant
outcomes such as one’s job satisfaction, life satisfaction, and entitlement, moderated by
materialism (relevance) and job expectations (attainability) of the referent other.
Participants selected from an alumni database of a large Midwestern University were
asked to view a manipulated Facebook newsfeed page and then complete a brief survey
(N=290). A hierarchical multiple regression was conducted to assess the hypotheses.
Results, implications, and limitations are also discussed.

The influence of social networking on the social interaction patterns among adolescents in the northern suburbs of Cape TownSymington, Serahni 11 1900 (has links)
The aim of the qualitative study was to explore the phenomenon of social networking and the possible influences it could have on adolescents‟ way of interacting socially. The study was conducted from a gestalt perspective and also incorporated aspects of developmental theory. Learners (12-18 years old) from a high school in the northern suburbs of Cape Town participated in semi-structured interviews voluntarily. Parents and teachers also participated in the study by forming part of focus groups. The study indicated that although social networking is a beneficial social tool for adolescents, it could become an obstacle during social interaction which is not mediated through an electronic or mobile network. From the study it can be concluded that social networking is a positive social tool, which could become dangerous for adolescents‟ social interaction abilities when used inappropriately. / Social Work / M.

Soziale Trinität für soziale online Netzwerke : ein Beitrag zur Bedeutung des Glaubens an die soziale Trinität als Inspiration und Ressource für ein erfüllendes zwischenmenschliches Zusammenleben im Kontext sozialer Online-netzwerke / Social trinity for social networking sites : a contribution to the importance of the faith in the social trinity as a [sic] inspiration and resource for a fulfilling human communal life in the context of social networking sitesStaub, David 03 1900 (has links)
German text / Diese Forschungsarbeit versucht aufzuzeigen, inwiefern der Glaube an die Trinität als Gemeinschaft
von Vater, Sohn und Heiligem Geist zu einem erfüllenden zwischenmenschlichen
Zusammenleben in sozialen Online-Netzwerken beitragen kann. Im Gespräch mit den
drei Theologen Jürgen Moltmann, Leonardo Boff und Gisbert Greshake wird das Konzept
der Sozialen Trinität mit seinen Implikationen für das zwischenmenschliche Zusammenleben
erarbeitet. In einem zweiten Teil werden die neuen Möglichkeiten von sozialen Online-
Netzwerken und die deutlichsten damit verbundenen Mängel für das zwischenmenschliche
Zusammenleben am Beispiel von Facebook dargestellt. Schlussendlich wird danach gefragt,
inwiefern die Erkenntnisse aus der theologischen Diskussion für den spezifischen Kontext
sozialer Online-Netzwerke fruchtbar gemacht werden können. Es werden drei unterschiedliche
Aspekte herausgearbeitet, in denen der Glaubende durch das Eingebundensein in die
göttliche Gemeinschaft eine neue Sicht auf seinen sozialen Kontext erhalten und eine hilfreiche
Ressource finden kann, um den Unzulänglichkeiten des zwischenmenschlichen Zusammenlebens
in sozialen Online-Netzwerken entgegenzuwirken. / This thesis wishes to demonstrate in how far faith in the Trinity as community of Father,
Son and Holy Spirit can contribute to a fulfilling human communal life on social networking
sites. In conversation with the three theologians Jürgen Moltmann, Leonardo Boff and Gisbert
Greshake, a concept of the Social Trinity and its implications on human communal life
is being elaborated. In a second part, the new possibilities and the gravest shortcomings of
human interactions on Facebook are depicted. Finally, it is asked, in how far the findings of
the theological discussion can be fructified in the specific context of social networking sites.
In three different aspects it will be elaborated, in which the believer can find, through his or
her incorporation into the godly community, a new perspective for his social context and a
helpful resource to counter the shortcomings of human communal life on social networking

The mobile phone as an extention of the self : a study among adolescents in a secondary schoolDavel, Coriena 02 1900 (has links)
The mobile phone forms part of a teenager’s life world and reality today and can be regarded as a tool with which they not only communicate, but also use them to gain access to the Internet, social media and social networking sites. The primary aim of this study was to determine if the mobile phone, with all its functionalities, has an impact on the development of the adolescent’s identity formation, social development and communication skills as well as the sense of the self. Another objective of this study was to determine what the opinions and perceptions are of older generations with regard to mobile practices of the youth. A concurrent triangulation mixed method design was utilised for the purpose of the study. The quantitative and qualitative studies were conducted simultaneously and the data and results from each method were integrated and interpreted as a whole. The quantitative data gathering method was short self-structured questionnaires that were completed by learners (190), teachers (35) and parents (21) to provide a general overview of mobile usage among adolescents. A single-group pre-test post-test experimental design and individual interviews were conducted with eight volunteers. Lastly, 12 learners took part in a focus group interview as a confirmation technique for all the information that was gathered. The findings of the empirical investigation revealed that the mobile phone is used nowadays as a social tool, a planning tool and a convenience tool. The constant connectedness the mobile phone provides, strengthens the adolescents’ self-esteem and self-confidence and contributes strongly to their self-worth. The mobile phone is used as a self-expressive personalised tool and forms part of the sense of the adolescent self. It was also found that adolescents build their relationships with others on a two-dimensional platform that involves online and offline communication and activities. A definite gap exists between older generations’ perceptions and adolescents in connection with the ways that adolescents use their mobile phones nowadays. Parents and teachers have to accept the fact that technology forms part of today’s youth and they should change their mind-sets with regard to this complicated and complex phenomenon. / Psychology of Education / D.

A conceptual framework for digital political communication to promote party-political issue ownership via an urban electioneering platformDhawraj, Ronesh 07 1900 (has links)
Abstracts in English, Zulu and Afrikaans / This Grounded Theory study focused on understanding how South Africa’s two
numerically-dominant political parties, the African National Congress (ANC) and
Democratic Alliance (DA), used micro-blogging site, Twitter, as part of their
electioneering arsenal in the 2016 municipal elections to promote party-political
digital issue ownership within an urban context. Using each party’s 2016 election
manifesto and corpus of tweets, this three-phased study found that while both the
ANC and DA used Twitter as a digital political communication platform to
communicate their election campaigns, the DA notably leveraged the social
networking site for intense ‘focused’ messaging of its negative campaign against the
ANC while simultaneously promoting positive electoral messages around its own
‘core’ issues and metro mayoral candidates. ‘Battleground’ metros were identified by
the DA in Ekurhuleni, Johannesburg, Tshwane and Nelson Mandela Bay, leading to
an emphasised urban campaign here to either activate the party’s own support base
and/ or to suppress the ANC’s turnout in these highly-contested areas. Additionally, it
was found that both the ANC and DA used Twitter for explicit and implicit partypolitical
issue ownership claiming in the 2016 municipal elections. Lastly, this study
also culminated in the proposal of three but interconnected different elements of a
conceptual framework for digital political communication that political parties could
use to promote digital party-political issue ownership within a pronounced urban
electioneering setting. These elements – ‘coordinating and managing how an
election is tweeted’, 'focus' messaging the election’ and ‘audience-segmenting as a
message-tailoring strategy’ – when used in unison can help political parties
communicate better and ultimately more effectively in a highly mediatised
technological media landscape / Hierdie Gegronde Teorie Studie fokus op die verduideliking hoe Suid-Afrika se twee
numeriese dominante politieke partye, die African National Congress (ANC) en
Demokratiese Alliansie (DA), van die mikro-blog platform, Twitter, gebruik gemaak
het tydens hulle verkiessingsstrategie in die 2016 munisipale verkiessings om die
party politieke digitale kwessie rondom eienaarskap binne ‘n stedelike verband te
bevorder. Deur elke party se 2016 verkiessings manifesto en arsenaal van twiets te
gebruik, het hierdie drie-fase studie bevind dat beide die ANC en DA, Twitter gebruik
het as ‘n digitale politieke kommunikasie platform. Die DA het egter die sosiale
media netwerk kenmerkend gebruik vir ‘n intense gefokusde negatiewe veldtog teen
die ANC terwyl hulle terselfdertyd ‘n positiewe verkiessings boodskap rondom die
party se eie kernkwessies en metro burgermeesters kandidate gesentreer het.
‘Oorlogsgebied’ metros is deur die DA in Ekurhuleni, Johannesburg, Tshwane en
Nelson Mandela Bay geidentifiseer wat ‘n defnitiewe stedelike veldtog tot gevolg
gehad het om die party se eie ondersteuningsbasis te bevorder en/of die ANC se
ondersteuning in hierdie hoogs betwiste areas te onderdruk. Daar was ook bevind
dat beide die ANC en DA van Twitter gebruik gemaak het vir eksplisiete en implisiete
party politieke kwessies rondom eiernaarskap tydens die 2016 munisipale
verkiessings. Hierdie studie kan saamgevat word in drie onderskeie maar verwante
elemente om ‘n raamwerk te vorm van die digitale politieke kommunikasie wat
politieke partye kan gebruik om digitale party politieke kwessies binne ‘n stedelike
verkiessings omgewing te bevorder. Wanneer hierdie elemente – ‘koordinering en

boodksap tydens die verkiessing’ and ‘die gehoorsegmentasie can ‘n boodskap
