A Study on the Factors Affecting Photo Sharing Users on SNS: Focusing on Social Capital and Visual Sociology

Abstract Background Research on factors affecting self-care is scarce. The social factors, in particular, have not been yet investigated in Iran. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between self-care and social capital among women. Methods The participants were 737 women who were living in the marginal, middle and upper areas in the city of Yazd, Iran. Data were collected using a researcher-made self-care questionnaire and Harper’s (Off Natl Stat 11:2019, 2019) Social Capital Scale. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling by SPSS and Amos v24. Results The results showed that the social capital had significant positive effects on the general self-care behavior of the participants (β = 0.56, p < 0.001). It also had significant positive effects on the self-care behavior of women living in the marginal (β = 0.58), middle (β = 0.49) and upper (β = 0.62) parts of the city (p < 0.001). Besides, the women living in the marginal parts had relatively lower levels of self-care compared to those living in the middle and upper parts of the city. The examination of the fit indices indicated that the model has a good fit (CMIN/DF = 2.087, NFI = 0.921, RMSEA = 0.027, CFI = 0.956, TLI = 0.940, GFI = 0.956, IFI = 0.957). Conclusion The findings of this study demonstrated that social capital has significant positive effects on the general self-care behavior of women. Therefore, improving their self-care can be achieved through promoting their social capital.

Stakeholder Perspective

Taiwan’s agriculture is again generating local interest after years of decline as awareness of problems facing development and food safety grows. Agriculture-related social entrepreneurship is seen as a crucial solution to the challenges faced and has gradually become part of mainstream business in rural areas. This study examined whether empathy, social responsibility, social capital and support, and social entrepreneurial self-efficacy affect social entrepreneurial intentions. Through an online and offline survey, a sample of Taiwanese agricultural college students (n=464) were recruited for analysis. The factor analyses supported previous studies and proved that the factor structures of subscales used in this study were stable, with the exception of social entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Multiple regression analysis results indicated that management efficacy was the most prominent factor affecting social entrepreneurial conviction, followed by stakeholder perspective and communication efficacy. In addition, management efficacy was the strongest factor affecting social entrepreneurial preparation, followed by stakeholder perspective and affective empathy. Notably, cognitive empathy was revealed to be negatively associated with social entrepreneurial preparation. Social capital and support were found to have no association with social entrepreneurial intentions.

Independent Variable

Kemiskinan merupakan salah satu permasalahan mendasar yang telah menjadi perhatian utama berbagai negara di dunia termasuk Indonesia. Agar pengentasan kemiskinan berjalan efektif tentunya perlu diketahui dan diukur kuat pengaruh faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi kemiskinan. Faktor-faktor tersebut diantaranya adalah modal SDM dan modal sosial. Untuk mengukur kontribusi faktor-faktor tersebut digunakan analisis regresi. Variabel bebas pada penelitian ini bersifat kategorik biner (1=miskin, 0=tidak) sehingga analisis regresi yang bisa digunakan adalah analisis regresi logistik dan probit. Penelitian ini menggunakan regresi probit untuk mengetahui pengaruh modal sosial dan modal SDM terhadap kemiskinan. Pada analisis regresi probit, asumsi yang harus dipenuhi adalah tidak adanya korelasi antara variabel bebas dan error pada model, apabila hal tersebut tidak terpenuhi maka akan muncul permasalahan yang disebut dengan endogenitas yang mengakibatkan hasil taksiran parameter yang dihasilkan bias. Pada penelitian ini diperoleh informasi bahwa variabel modal sosial merupakan variabel endogen sehingga digunakan metode Two Probit Least Square (2PLS) untuk mengatasi permasalahan endogenitas yang terjadi. Berdasarkan hasil regresi probit dengan menggunakan metode 2PLS diperoleh tiga variabel bebas yang berpengaruh negatif terhadap peluang rumah tangga menjadi miskin, variabel-variabel tersebut adalah modal sosial, lama sekolah dan umur. Sedangkan variabel ukuran rumah tangga berpengaruh positif terhadap peluang rumah tangga menjadi miskin di Indonesia. [Poverty is one of the fundamental problems. It has been a major concern of governments in various countries around the world, including Indonesia. In order for poverty alleviation to be effective, it is necessary to know and measured strongly the influence of factors affecting poverty. These factors include human capital and social capital. To measure the contribution of these factors is used regression analysis. The independent variables in this study are binary categorical (1=poor, 0=no) so that regression analysis that can be used is logistic and probit regression analysis. This research uses probit regression to know the influence of social capital and human capital to poverty. In the probit regression analysis, the assumption that must be met is the absence of correlation between the independent variable and error in the model, if it is not fulfilled then the problem will arise called endogeneity which can lead to bias parameter. In this study obtained information that social capital variable is an endogenous variable, so Two Probit Least Square (2PLS) method used to overcome the problem of endogeneity that happened. Based on the results of probit regression using 2PLS method obtained three independent variables that negatively affect the probability of households to be poor, these variables are social capital, school, and age. While the variable size of households positively affects the probability of households being poor in Indonesia.]

Since the war in 2003, Baghdad has suffered from different aspects of political, administration, economic ethnic, sectarian, etc. that led to the loss of lives, social capital, destruction of Iraqi infrastructure and important buildings, increased crisis aggravation between different ethnics, as well as the disappearance and destruction of many Baghdad’s open spaces, parks, and recreational places. This paper addresses the issue of social interaction in Baghdad city, resulting from the lack of open spaces, parks, and recreational activities. The objective of this paper is to determine the key factors affecting social interaction of Baghdad residents in the parks of the city. This study employed Creswell recommendations (Creswell, 2014) to design the research methodology in general. A quantitative method was adapted to collect and analyse the data of this study by using a survey, i.e. questionnaires, to assess 270 respondents’ opinion about the issue of the study. Respondents were selected randomly in a single-stage procedure by using a simplified formula (Yamane, 1973). Closed-ended questions were used to collect the data of the study from the Karkh district in Baghdad city. Findings of this study confirmed that the factors and criteria of the parks are essential means to achieve sound social interaction in Baghdad, in which, the most influencing factors towards Karkhs' parks users are crowding of visitors and noise, followed by availability of high quality diverse activities. The results of this study are a useful reference for urban and landscape planners, architects, social psychologists, the Municipality of Baghdad, and researchers in this field.

The Impact

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate gender gaps in opportunity-driven entrepreneurship and illuminate the underlying mechanism of why women are less likely to create ventures in order to take advantage of the opportunity than men.Design/methodology/approachBy drawing on human/social capital theory and expanding extant gender-related entrepreneurship literature, this study addresses how human and social capital mediates the relationship between gender and opportunity-driven entrepreneurship. A sample of 115,367 individuals across 62 countries drawn from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor of 2016 was examined using multilevel logistic regression and Karlson-Holm-Breen (KHB) mediation analysis.FindingsFindings of this study demonstrate that women’s lack of entrepreneurial relevant knowledge and skills, intrapreneurship experience as well as social networks with other entrepreneurs contribute to women’s less likelihood of engaging in opportunity-driven entrepreneurship than their male counterparts.Originality/valueCompared to previous research mainly investigating macro-level determinants, this study further explores the explanatory factors affecting gender gaps in opportunity-driven entrepreneurship from the individual level. The findings provide an implication for public policy and give a direction to rethinking how to promote opportunity-driven entrepreneurship, especially for that led by women.
