Hur upplever mottagarna audiovisuell information på TikTok? / How do the recipients experience audiovisual information on TikTok?

Ahlin, Josefine January 2022 (has links)
TikTok är en sociala medier-plattform där användarna kan publicera korta videoklipp. Applikationen används idag av över 1 miljard människor. Plattformen erbjuder funktioner som främjar interaktion och kunskapsutbyte mellan användarna. Underhållning är sedan tidigare förknippat med TikTok men sedan 2020 har även ung aktivism börjat ta plats på plattformen. På TikTok kan användare uttrycka sociala värderingar och nätverka med varandra, det är även vanligt att hashtags används för att koppla videoklippen till ett specifikt ämne. Syftet med studien är att förstå hur TikTok-användarna upplever audiovisuell information som berör ämnet feminism. Videoklipp har valts ut från plattformen via sökordet feminism samt hashtaggen #feminism. Därefter genomfördes en innehållsanalys av klippen för att avgöra deras likheter och olikheter, för att på så sätt kunna välja ut fem klipp att använda i studiens nästa fas. De fem klippen presenterades i kvalitativa intervjuer där respondenterna svarade på frågor och uttryckte sina åsikter kring bland annat trovärdighet, funktioner och informationen i sig. Det insamlade materialet jämfördes och analyserades dels utifrån respondenternas olika upplevelser, dels ur ett teoretiskt perspektiv.  Respondenterna i studien visade störst intresse för två förklarande videoklipp som presenterade ny information genom att använda bilder, video och tal.  Information som presenterades med hjälp av bilder ansågs underlätta förståelsen för budskapet, göra videoklippet mer intressant och bidra till att öka respondenternas nyfikenhet. Ett annat klipp som uppskattades använde ett narrativ för att framföra utbildande underhållning som mottagarna kunde relatera till. Mottagarnas vilja att engagera sig kunde kopplas till deras positiva upplevelser av hur informationen presenterades i dessa klipp. Studien visade även att mottagarens upplevelser påverkas av individens tidigare kunskap, deras informationsbehov, motivation till att använda TikTok samt hur de bearbetar information. / TikTok is a social media platform where users produce short videos. Today TikTok is used by over 1 billion people. The application offers various features that promotes interaction and knowledge exchange among its users. Entertainment is strongly associated with TikTok, however since 2020 the use of the platform for youth activism has increased. On TikTok, users can express their social values and cooperate with each other. It is also common to use hashtags as a way of linking videos to a specific topic. The aim of this study is to understand how TikTok users experience audiovisual information regarding the topic of feminism. Videos were selected from the platform by using the search word feminism and the hashtag #feminism. This was followed by a content analysis to determine the videos differences and similarities, which enabled the final selection of five videos to be used in the next step of the study. The five videos were then presented during qualitative interviews where the respondents answered questions and expressed their opinions about for example trustworthiness, features and the information itself. The data was compared and analyzed both from a theoretical point of view and regarding different experiences expressed by the respondents. The respondents in this study showed the most interest in an explanatory video which presented them with new information by using pictures, video and speech.  The respondents showed greatest interest in two explanatory videos who presented new information by using pictures, video and speech. Information presented with pictures were considered to facilitate the understanding of the message, make it more interesting and arouse curiosity. Another video appreciated by the respondents used a narrative to convey entertaining education they could relate to. The recipients’ willingness to engage in the videos were linked to their positive experiences of how the information was presented. This study also shows that previous knowledge, information needs, motivation to use TikTok as well as different processing styles affected the respondents’ experiences.

Den komiska ungdomspolitiken : En kvantitativ och kvalitativ analys av politiska ungdomsförbunds kommunikation på TikTok / Comic youth politics : A quantitative and qualitative analysis of political youth associations communication' on TikTok

Hunesjö, Saga, Paulsson, Alice January 2024 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis is to increase the understanding of political party organizations' digital communication by investigating what and how Swedish political youth associations communicate on TikTok. The purpose is realized through a case study of two youth associations, Moderata Ungdomsförbundet (MUF) and Sveriges Socialdemokratiska ungdomsförbund (SSU). The material is collected from a three-month period (November 1, 2023 - January 31, 2024) and the method of the thesis is a combination of quantitative multimodal content analysis and thematic analysis. The theoretical framework provides an understanding of the youth associations' conditions and expectations as an organization, as well as the media logics and norms that they need to adhere to in their communication. In the result it became clear that what the youth associations communicate differs. The most frequently communicated content from SSU consisted of entertainment content, closely followed by political content. MUF mostly focused on political content, but entertainment was also seen. Like previous research, only a small part of the material consisted of personal content. In terms of how the youth associations communicate, there was a similarity in that both associations used a comic style frequently, something that is typical for the platform and thus becomes a way for the youth associations to adopt the current style on TikTok. Similar to previous research, however, there was a lack of interactive tendencies on the part of MUF, which the platform invites. SSU appeared to use the interactive style in about half of the material. Similar to previous studies, we found that both SSU and MUF were diligent users of affordances such as music, audio, text, hashtag and location features. Tendencies we could see in how the youth associations communicated were also that they use platform trends and vernaculars frequently, which differs from previous research. We could thus state that both youth associations showed an adaptation to the platform dynamics.

Pinsamma läsningar. : En affektteoretisk studie av #SpicyBooks på TikTok. / Awkward readings. : A study of affect on TikTok ́s #SpicyBooks.

Lindström Kruse, Miranda January 2023 (has links)
This thesis examines readership communities on the social media application TikTok, and more specifically videos published under the hashtag SpicyBooks, where users discuss the literary genre of romance. Together with the closely related #BookTok, #SpicyBooks has had a profound impact on the book market. Correspondingly, the formation of readership communities on the app should be of interest to anyone who wishes to understand the changes of and within literacy among young adults. This study examines the top 130 featured videos under #SpicyBooks, which are thematically divided into categories analysed in three separate chapters. Taking its cue from affect theory, the thesis examines how the affect of shame is produced, represented and mediated in the videos. Furthermore, the study maps the various reader positions conjured by shame, and surveys how the video creators present themselves in the prevailing ideas and norms of aesthetic taste and social gender that circumscribes the literature discussed in the videos. By focusing on how the social media users and readers represent themselves, rather than how libraries and librarians can make themselves visible on social media, the study proposes a methodological shift, which might begin bridging the generational gap between libraries and their potential users.

The Political Game On Social Media : A quantitative study of to what extent Swedish first-time voters were influenced by political videos on "TikTok"

Dallmann, Bethina January 2023 (has links)
This research explores if Sweden, a country with high trust in the political system could be challenged by social media. The study focuses on one spectrum of social media, TikTok, that exploded during the covid-19 pandemic and is proof of how fast social media develops and reaches out to human beings.

Specifically, the study focuses on first-time voters voting behavior in the Swedish election 2022. This thesis is based on a digital survey sent out to 139 respondents during November 2022. The result indicates that there is a relationship between viewing time on TikTok and voting behavior among young voters in the Swedish election 2022. The study ends with a discussion about how specific political content the respondent was exposed to on TikTok could have had an impact on the political behavior in the Swedish election 2022.

Citizen War Journalism on TikTok : A reception study about young adults’ trust in war content on the example of alternative reporting on the Israel-Gaza conflict

Freimann, Christiane January 2024 (has links)
The social media platform TikTok is becoming an increasingly emerging space akin to a search engine, where news and information are shared and discovered, particularly amongst young adults. Whilst the majority of scholarly research on media trust in TikTok has concentrated on practices by professional journalists and news organizations, the entities represent only a fraction of the diverse actors, contributing to the platform's news-sharing media landscape. Notably, citizen journalists play a pivotal role in generating and disseminating war-related content on TikTok. TikTok personae have the ability to build strong relationships with followers. Such relationships, which carry great audience loyalty potential, are investigated through parasocial interaction in combination with the uses and gratifications theory. This study is a reception study of a young audience based primarily in Austria and Sweden which aims to investigate media trust in war-related content amongst ordinary individuals. Through focused interviews with 18 to 28-year-old TikTok users, reactions to viral videos will be assessed in order to establish trust factors and gain insights into their user behavior and news consumption habits on the app. Findings indicate that the TikTok algorithm influences young adults and they approach citizen- generated news content cautiously due to potential viral motives amongst creators, particularly when addressing sensitive topics such as the Israel-Gaza crisis. However, they recognize the value of opinionated content as a tool for young people to build an opinion on political topics. Keywords: Citizen Journalism, TikTok, War, Social Media Trust, Israel-Gaza Crisis, Para Social Interaction, Uses and Gratifications

Vad gömmer sig i kommentarsfältet? : En kvalitativ innehållsanalys om hur unga kvinnor bemöts i sina kommentarsfält på applikationen TikTok.

Westman, Sam, Engman, Hanna January 2021 (has links)
Syftet med denna studie var att bidra till ökad kunskap kring applikationen TikTok då det är en plattform som just nu ökar i popularitet, särskilt i åldrarna 16 – 25 (Svenskarna och internet 2020). Samt att få en inblick i hur kvinnor bemöts i applikationen. Vi valde att fokusera på hur unga kvinnor i åldrarna 16 – 25 bemöts och talas om i kommentarsfälten under sina egna videor, och om det fanns något samband mellan vilken typ av video de lade upp och den sortens kommentarer de fick; samt om det fanns tydliga skillnader mellan hur män och kvinnor uttryckte sig mot, och / eller, om de unga kvinnorna. Urvalet för undersökningen var tio kvinnliga TikTok-konton i åldern 16 – 25, den så kallade generation z. Metoden som användes var en kvalitativ innehållsanalys där vi med hjälp av ett analysschema analyserade sammanlagt 2000 kommentarer under de valda TikTok-kontonas videor. Resultatet visade att män och kvinnor uttrycker sig annorlunda, samt fokuserar på olika saker när de kommenterar kvinnornas videor. Kvinnor visade sig vara mer positiva än männen, samtidigt som de även skriv mest negativa kommentarer direkt riktade mot kvinnornas utseende. Männen däremot skrev framför allt negativa kommentarer som då var riktade mot kvinnornas åsikter, typiskt kvinnliga normer, sexistiska kommentarer, samt i princip allt innehåll som kunde beröra männen själva. När det gäller sambandet mellan videornas innehåll och kommentarerna, så fanns det ett visst mönster, men i grunden verkar det handla mer om vem personen bakom videon är och vilket syfte TikTok-kanalen har.

Lundström, Klara January 2021 (has links)
Bakgrund: Sociala medieanvändningen har ökat och blivit aktuellt för folkhälsan. Kön, ålder och utbildningsnivå ingår i begreppet socioekonomiska skillnader och kan kopplas till användning av sociala medier. Modellen KASAM används som förklaringsmodell till hur meningsfullhet, begriplighet och hanterbarhet kan kopplas till användning av sociala medier. Syfte: Studiens syfte är att undersöka samband mellan användning av sociala medier och utbildningsnivå hos kvinnor i åldrarna 18–30 år samt om det finns några skillnader i användning av sociala medier i åldersgruppen 18–24 år samt 25–30 år. Metod: Genom en kvantitativ ansats samlades data in genom elektroniska enkäter och 109 respondenter besvarade denna. Dataanalysen genomfördes med hjälp av frekvenstabeller, korstabeller och chi-två-test för att finna samband och skillnader mellan variablerna. Resultat: Majoriteten av respondenterna använde Instagram och YouTube i tidsintervallet 31 minuter eller mer medan majoriteten som använde TikTok, Twitter samt Facebook befann sig i tidsintervallet 0–30 minuter per dag. Användningen av Instagram, Twitter, Facebook och YouTube var inte signifikant med utbildningsnivå medan TikTok hade signifikanta samband. Inga signifikanta skillnader fanns i användning av Instagram och Twitter. För Facebook var resultatet nära på signifikant och för TikTok och YouTube fanns signifikanta skillnader.

TikTok Made Me Buy It : Influencer Marketing on TikTok: What Affects Swedish Consumers' Purchase Intentions?

Nilsson, Johanna, Nilsson, Filippa, Johansson, Ellen January 2023 (has links)
This study investigates the impact of trustworthiness, perceived expertise, and parasocial relationships on Swedish consumers' purchase intentions on TikTok, focusing on influencer marketing. The problem addressed in this study is the lack of understanding of consumer behavior on TikTok in the context of influencer marketing. While TikTok has become a popular platform for influencer marketing due to its high engagement rates and entertaining marketing concept, limited research exists on the factors that influence consumer purchase intentions on the platform. The study aims to understand the factors that influence consumer behavior on TikTok and its impact on purchase intentions, using the theory of persuasion. The method used in this research is a quantitative study where the authors used a survey method to collect primary data from 138 Swedish consumers. STATA was used to analyze the data, and the findings reveal that the trustworthiness and parasocial relationships of influencers significantly impact purchase intentions, while perceived expertise has no significant impact on the platform TikTok. This study's results can guide marketing professionals and influencers to develop effective influencer marketing strategies on TikTok, which offers immense marketing opportunities for brands seeking to reach younger audiences with high engagement rates.
