The current study explored factors influencing content sharing on Twitter in the context of sport news. It employed a 2-step text-based analysis combining qualitative and quantitative approaches and found that 3 main categories of factors are influencing retweeting decisions: characteristics of the source, characteristics of the message, and characteristics of the user. A subsequent hierarchical-regression analysis revealed that factors related to a user’s encounter of a Tweet are the best predictor of retweeting intentions. More specifically, interest in the exact topic of the tweet, the perceived relevance that the tweet might have for the user’s own followers, and similarity in opinion play important roles. Implications for communication practitioners, as well as research investigating human behavior on social media, are discussed.

Fear of missing out atau kekhawatiran akan kehilangan momen penting pada aktivitas media sosial, menjadi salah satu faktor yang menyebabkan tingginya intensitas remaja dalam menggunakan media sosial saat ini. Hal tersebut dapat mengarah kepada terjadinya kecanduan media sosial. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara fear of missing out dengan kecanduan media sosial yang dimediasi oleh social media engagement pada remaja di Kota Banda Aceh. Sejumlah 343 remaja dengan rentang usia 13 – 18 tahun dari 4 sekolah menengah di Kota Banda Aceh terpilih sebagai subjek penelitian melalui metode multistage cluster dan disproportionate stratified random sampling. Penelitian ini mengadaptasi alat ukur yaitu Social Media Disorder (SMD) Scale-short version dari Eijnden, Lemmens, dan Valkenburg, Fear of missing out Scale dari Przybylski, Murayama, Haan, dan Gladwell, dan Social media engagement Questionnaire dari Przybylski, Murayama, Haan, dan Gladwell untuk mengukur variabel kecanduan media sosial, fear of missing out, dan social media engagement. Data penelitian dianalisa menggunakan hierarchical regression analysis untuk menguji hipotesa penelitian. Hasil analisa menunjukkan bahwa fear of missing out memiliki hubungan yang signifikan secara langsung (β=0,37; p<0,05) dan tidak langsung (β=0,39; p<0,05) terhadap kecanduan media sosial. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa risiko kecanduan media sosial berkaitan dengan fear of missing out yang dimediasi oleh social media engagement. Semakin besar kekhawatiran remaja akan kehilangan momen dalam media sosial, maka mendorong mereka untuk terus dapat terikat dengan aktivitas di media sosial yang mengarah kepada perilaku kecanduan.

Effectiveness Data

This study investigated the relationships of bases of leader power (coercive, reward, legitimate, expert, and referent) and styles of handling interpersonal conflict (integrating, obliging, dominating, avoiding, and compromising) to subordinates' effectiveness. Data for this study were collected with questionnaires from the United States and Bulgaria and analyzed with hierarchical regression analysis for each country. Results indicated that in the United States referent power base of supervisors and integrating style of handling conflict of subordinates were positively associated with effectiveness. In Bulgaria, legitimate power base of supervisors was positively associated with effectiveness, but the subordinates' conflict styles were not associated with effectiveness.

Peer Nominations

In two independent studies, we aimed to examine the extent to which teacher and peer nominations of loneliness are associated with children’s and adolescents’ self-reported loneliness, respectively. Additionally, we examined whether loneliness nominations from teachers and peers were informative above and beyond peer status and social behaviors associated with loneliness. In Study 1 (N = 1594, Mage = 9.43 years), teacher nominations of loneliness showed a small to moderate correlation with children’s self-reported loneliness as assessed using the Loneliness and Social Dissatisfaction Questionnaire (LSDQ). The results of a hierarchical regression analysis showed that teacher nominations of loneliness predicted children’s self-reported loneliness above and beyond teacher nominations of peer status and social behaviors. In Study 2 (N = 350, Mage = 13.81 years), peer nominations of loneliness showed a small to moderate correlation with adolescents’ self-reported loneliness as assessed using the peer-related loneliness subscale of the Loneliness and Aloneness Scale for Children and Adolescents (LACA). The results of a hierarchical regression analysis showed that peer nominations of loneliness predicted adolescents’ self-reported loneliness above and beyond peer nominations of peer status and social behaviors. We conclude that loneliness nominations are valuable, but caution is needed when they are used exclusively to identify lonely children and adolescents.

Abstract This study aims to examine the predictors of professional commitment of the Chinese new generation, divided into post-80s and post-90s cohorts. A questionnaire survey was employed to collect data from Chinese seafaring officers of these cohorts. The results through hierarchical regression analysis present the two cohorts as having both similar and different predictors. The main difference is that company management and policies positively drive the post-80s cohort to work at sea but not the post-90s. The main similarity is that the work itself is the most important predictor for both cohorts. This study contributes to helping maritime companies to estimate the possibility of Chinese new generation officers quitting sea jobs and can be of value to both managers and authorities as they seek to comprehend the generational dynamic features to better cope with the problem of shortage of younger qualified officers.
