Abstract The ease of communication and anonymity that computer-mediated communication provides has created fertile ground for transgressive (socially non-normative) online behaviours. The purpose of the current research is to explore the types of transgressive comments on Iranian celebrities’ Instagram pages. Within a qualitative descriptive approach, the current research employs Braun and Clarke’s ‘thematic analysis’ to analyze transgressive user comments. Using a judgmental (purposive) non-probability sampling technique, we selected posts from 22 Iranian celebrities’ Instagram pages. Afterwards, we analyzed 53,066 comments in these posts and extracted four dominant transgressive themes: ‘unwanted advertisement,’ ‘partner seeking,’ ‘attention seeking,’ and ‘emotional release’; we then extracted their sub-themes. Transgressive behaviours disrupt the communicative experience on social networks, endanger users’ security and safety, and can lead to mental problems and even offline harassment and violence. Recognizing these behaviours and their patterns can contribute to more effective use of social control means.

Over Time

Computer-mediated communication (CMC) provides many benefits, including quick, efficient communication over time and space. At the same time, however, the anonymity it offers can give a sense of impunity, an illusion that behaviour is less hurtful than it really is, and a suppression of empathy. In short, CMC can be a fertile ground for conflict, and one particular manifestation of this is trolling. Trolling involves deliberately attacking others online, typically for amusement's sake. In some cases, it can be taken to such an extreme that it clearly violates UK legislation on hate-speech, abuse and menace. Whilst forensic linguistic research into threatening and abusive language is, however, gradually growing ( Carney, 2014 ; Chakraborti, 2010 : 99–123; and Fraser, 1998 ), there is a shortage of research into linguistic aggression online, and particularly research into trolling (see, however, Binns, 2011 ; Herring et al., 2002 ; and Shin, 2008 ). In endeavouring to contribute to this under-researched area, this paper seeks to address the question, ‘How do users respond to (perceived) trolling?’ The answer to this is elaborated through the creation of a working taxonomy of response types, drawn from 3,727 examples of user discussions and accusations of trolling which were extracted from an eighty-six million word Usenet corpus. I conclude this paper by discussing the limitations and applications of this research.

This study examined the correlation between exposure to computer-mediated adverts and the buying behavior of youths from Enugu State. The correlational survey was used for the study, while a sample of 385 was selected through a multistage sampling technique. In the analysis of the result, simple percentages were used to achieve the research objectives, while the Pearson correlation coefficient ( r) was used to test the hypotheses raised. The result showed a strong positive correlation between the engagement in computer-mediated communication (CMC) and exposure to computer-mediated adverts ( r = .815, n = 362, p < 005). The findings also showed a strong negative correlation between the format of computer-mediated advertising (CMA) and the duration of viewing ( r = −.241, n = 362). Finally, the researcher found a strong positive correlation between exposure to CMA and buying decision ( r = −.666, n = 362, p < 005). The researcher concludes that the level of engagement in CMA correlates exposure and eventual purchase likelihood. The researcher recommends, among others, that efforts aimed at reaching youths through CMC should also incorporate their level of engagement.
