Generasi  Y merupakan generasi yang memiliki kecakapan dalam penggunaan teknologi, termasuk dalam penggunaan media sosial. Dalam penggunaannya, generasi Y menghabiskan lebih banyak waktunya untuk  mengakses  media  sosial dibandingkan generasi sebelumnya. Penggunaan media sosial yang telalu sering dapat mengakibatkan hilangnya kemampuan berinteraksi secara langsung. Fenomena menunjukkan bahwa generasi Y mengalami kesulitan dalam berkomunikasi serta kurang memiliki pendekatan yang kurang pantas ketika berbicara. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan frekuensi penggunaan media sosial dengan komunikasi interpersonal pada  karyawan  generasi  Y.  Sampel  dalam  penelitian  ini  adalah  131 karyawan generasi Y berusia 22-38 tahun yang bekerja di DKI Jakarta dan memiliki media sosial lebih dari satu. Penelitian ini menggunakan alat ukur The Media and Technology Usage and Attitude Scale (Rosen, 2013) dan Interpersonal Communication Inventory (Graham, 1998) yang telah diadaptasi. Hasil uji korelasi menunjukkan bahwa frekuensi penggunaan media sosial  memiliki  hubungan negatif yang signifikan dengan dimensi awareness of others pada komunikasi interpersonal. Namun,  frekuensi penggunaan media sosial tidak memiliki hubungan dengan kedua dimensi yang lainnya pada komunikasi interpersonal, yaitu awareness of self & self disclosure dan coping with feeling & differences.

Nowadays, emotional intelligence (EI) is an emerging topic for psychological, educational, and management researchers and consultants. EI is the ability to manage emotions and interact effectively with others. The purpose of our study is to assess the level of EI of young university students and its associated factors; and   to develop a valid and reliable instrument of EI in Lebanon. During 2018, a cross-sectional study, which enrolled 705 university students chosen randomly in seven faculties was conducted. The survey included questions on socio-demographic characteristics, health behaviors, Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS).  The attitudes related to media and technology usage assessed by using the last four sub-factors of the Media and Technology Usage and Attitudes Scale. The translation and cultural adaptation of the WLEIS followed a standardized protocol. After that, the psychometric properties of the scale (i.e., feasibility, reliability, and validity) were evaluated. A total of 705 undergraduates filled out the questionnaire, of whom 74% were females, aged   from 17 to 35 (mean=20.42±2.41) years.  The rotated principal axis factor analysis produced four-factors, explaining 64.60% of the variance, corresponding to the hypothesized Self-Emotions Appraisal (SEA), Others-Emotions Appraisal (OEA), Use of Emotion (UOE), and Regulation of Emotion (ROE) scales of WLEIS. The internal consistency of the WLEIS scale was high for all subscales (Cronbach’s alpha > 0.70).  The mean OEA score was significantly higher in females as compared to males (p=0.03). The students who study in public university and have physical activities had higher scores of the ROE (p<0.001); whereas the drinkers of alcohol (p=0.04) and smokers had lower scores (p=0.001). The relationship between SEA, OEA, UOE scores and academic performance was significant (p<0.001). The UOE and ROE were negatively and significantly correlated with the Dependence on Technology (r=-0.15; p<0.001). This study supports the feasibility, reliability, and validity of the WLEIS Arabic version as a screening tool of EI among young university students. The individuals working with students in the context of improving academic skills may want to routinely assess EI of their students in order to improve education, student development, personal well-being, and mental ability.

Higher education institutions encourage the use of computers and of the internet for accessing content, assignments, exam results and collaborative learning work. Our study focuses on the university students’ attitudes towards the use of computers, internet and smartphones in relationship with the field of studies, age, gender, academic performance. The research is a descriptive and correlational one. The participants were 685 female and male university students, enrolled in Sciences and Humanities, distributed in two studies which conducted at a distance of four years. The instruments used were the following: CARS, (Heinssen, Glass, - Knight, 1987), the IAS (Nickel and Pinto (1986), CAS (Compeau, - Higgins, 1995), some scales of MTUAS ADDIN CSL_CITATION { "citationItems" : [ { "id" : "ITEM-1", "itemData" : { "ISSN" : "0747-5632", "PMID" : "25722534", "abstract" : "Current approaches to measuring people's everyday usage of technology-based media and other computer-related activities have proved to be problematic as they use varied outcome measures, fail to measure behavior in a broad range of technology-related domains and do not take into account recently developed types of technology including smartphones. In the present study, a wide variety of items, covering a range of up-to-date technology and media usage behaviors. Sixty-six items concerning technology and media usage, along with 18 additional items assessing attitudes toward technology, were administered to two independent samples of individuals, comprising 942 participants. Factor analyses were used to create 11 usage subscales representing smartphone usage, general social media usage, Internet searching, e-mailing, media sharing, text messaging, video gaming, online friendships, Facebook friendships, phone calling, and watching television in addition to four attitude-based subscales: positive attitudes, negative attitudes, technological anxiety/dependence, and attitudes toward task-switching. All subscales showed strong reliabilities and relationships between the subscales and pre-existing measures of daily media usage and Internet addiction were as predicted. Given the reliability and validity results, the new Media and Technology Usage and Attitudes Scale was suggested as a method of measuring media and technology involvement across a variety of types of research studies either as a single 60-item scale or any subset of the 15 subscales.", "author" : [ { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "Rosen", "given" : "L D", "non-dropping-particle" : "", "parse-names" : false, "suffix" : "" }, { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "Whaling", "given" : "K", "non-dropping-particle" : "", "parse-names" : false, "suffix" : "" }, { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "Carrier", "given" : "L M", "non-dropping-particle" : "", "parse-names" : false, "suffix" : "" }, { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "Cheever", "given" : "N A", "non-dropping-particle" : "", "parse-names" : false, "suffix" : "" }, { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "Rokkum", "given" : "J", "non-dropping-particle" : "", "parse-names" : false, "suffix" : "" } ], "container-title" : "Computers in human behavior", "id" : "ITEM-1", "issue" : "6", "issued" : { "date-parts" : [ [ "2013", "11", "1" ] ] }, "page" : "2501-2511", "publisher" : "NIH Public Access", "title" : "The Media and Technology Usage and Attitudes Scale: An empirical investigation.", "type" : "article-journal", "volume" : "29" }, "uris" : [ "http://www.mendeley.com/documents/?uuid=61676b79-6d78-39cc-84fd-a029b36d7adf" ] } ], "mendeley" : { "formattedCitation" : "(Rosen, Whaling, Carrier, Cheever, - Rokkum, 2013)", "plainTextFormattedCitation" : "(Rosen, Whaling, Carrier, Cheever, - Rokkum, 2013)", "previouslyFormattedCitation" : "(Rosen, Whaling, Carrier, Cheever, - Rokkum, 2013)" }, "properties" : { "noteIndex" : 0 }, "schema" : "https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json" }(Rosen, Whaling, Carrier, Cheever, - Rokkum, 2013) and of USLS (Rung, Wranke, and Mattheos, 2014). The results showed significant differences between male and female students concerning the use and attitudes towards computers, internet and smartphones. But the self-efficacy is the same with males and females, conventional and nonconventional students, respectively. The positive and negative attitudes and task switching are equal for the two genders, and the academic performance is associated with a part of the activities performed on Facebook. The findings are discussed in connection with the learning situations, the multitasking tendencies and the use of technologies for social and private activities.
