The Impact

The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in impact between men and women on the effects that social networking sites (SNS) have on body dissatisfaction. A total of eight studies (with 48 effect sizes) involving participants being assessed on SNS use frequency and body dissatisfaction in which some correlation was determined were used for this meta-analysis. The current study also chose to evaluate three different moderators: gender, age, and measurement type. Correlations from each study were collected in order to compute a single pooled effect size. The proportion of men and mean age were also collected from each study in order to assess the gender and age moderators. Types of measurements were coded either as 0 (study used a measurement specifically designed to assess body satisfaction/dissatisfaction) or 1 (study used a subscale from a larger measurement that assessed body satisfaction/dissatisfaction). The pooled effect size showed significance in the overall association between SNS use frequency and body dissatisfaction which supports the findings of previous research. However, neither of the moderators were found to be significant, ultimately rejecting the hypothesis of the current study. This finding may be due to the major limitation of the lack of research available surrounding this topic.

Shed Light

This chapter examines social networking sites from a sociological and discursive perspective in order to highlight how users engage with them in the construction of their identities. In order to do so it focuses on the different strategies users of Facebook take advantage of in order both to construct their gender identity and control the way they self-represent. The results shed light on the range of identity claims both men and women tend to make in a non-anonymous online setting. In addition, this study aims to increase understanding of identity construction in the online environment in general and gender identity construction in particular.

Perceived Enjoyment

Mobile devices are used to initiate shopping or enhance traditional shopping experiences. The integration of m-commerce with social networking sites enables marketers to provide really personalized offers to customers. The basis for that is an in-depth understanding of customers’ needs and expectations which can be analyzed on social networking sites due to their explicit and implicit presentation of the customers’ context and needs as well as due to their rising popularity. This study investigates the reasons for customers to use online social networks, using the example of Facebook. For that purpose, a structural equation model with formative constructs is developed and tested against data from young Facebook users. The authors’ results show that subjective norm might show no direct effect but, however, it has a large influence which occurs indirectly via perceived usefulness and perceived enjoyment. Additionally, the authors reveal that drivers for the usage intention of social networks show major differences between men and women.

Use Of Social Media

Our research sought to monitor, measure and analyze the opinions and positions of Saudi men and women regarding the use of traditional and electronic media and social networking sites during the COVID-19 pandemic. We surveyed 477 Saudi men and women via an electronic questionnaire. The results show that Saudi respondents have increased their exposure to traditional media and that their use of social media has been intensified due to the pandemic. It was found that Saudis use social media to search for news and information that would help them understand the nature of the pandemic, how it spread, and what must be done to avoid, prevent, and respond to it. It was also found that social networking sites are the first sources used by Saudis to obtain news, although they consider these sites more likely to spread rumors about the pandemic. In general, most of the respondents consider the media coverage of the pandemic successful and think that most forms of news media are honest and reassuring.
