This study examined concerns about Internet surveillance among Internet users in Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Lebanon, Qatar, and the UAE ( N = 4160). Despite common stereotypes about how variables like gender, youth, income, nationality, and liberal or conservative ideology affect political and cultural attitudes in Arab countries, these indicators were not significant predictors of concerns about online surveillance by governments and companies. Arab nationals reported greater concern about companies monitoring their online activity, while expatriates were more worried about government surveillance. The study uses literature on the attribute substitution heuristic to discuss how people might form stereotypes about large groups.

Item Scale

Countering conventional theory, this study found that online homophily and heterophily—connectivity with both similar and dissimilar others—are not necessarily countervailing phenomena, among representative surveys of internet users from five Arab countries: Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Lebanon, Qatar, and UAE ( N = 4,198). Respondents who said the Internet has increased their contact with politically and religiously similar people also tended to say it increased their contact with politically and religiously dissimilar people. A four-item scale measuring online political and religious homophily and heterophily was reliable (a = .754 overall; .79 among Arab nationals), and is referred to in this article as an ‘idea chamber’ index. Confirmatory Factor Analysis and inter-item correlations of scale items are two additional tests that affirm the internal consistency of the measure. Implications for research on digital communication are discussed.

Telecom Sector

Growth and development of infrastructural sectors is one of the keynotes of Vision 2030 which envisages a country well on the road to internationalization by the end of the next decade. Development of the telecom sector, which saw a slump in early 2018 and later picked up with growth in the number of mobile and high-speed internet users, is also one of the objectives. The reason is the large number of jobs this sector is likely to generate. In a highly segregated society like that of Saudi Arabia, it is imperative to evaluate social, educational and occupational setups to ensure parity of opportunities for the genders. This study is also directed at such an objective, identifying trends in job satisfaction among female and male Saudi employees in the telecommunications and information technology sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The study selected seven variables, validated previously to assess the perception of males and females employed in the sector and designed a questionnaire for the purpose. The sample comprised two hundred and thirty participants. Post statistical analysis, the results indicated that there were statistically significant differences between the average job satisfaction among male and female employees in this sector. Overall, the average job satisfaction among females was higher than that of males. Females also showed an increase in the average satisfaction concerning financial factors and relationships within the work environment as well as career prospects. By contrast, job satisfaction among males was higher with respect to work elements relates to existing job systems and educational field. The study offers suitable recommendations to ensure greater job satisfaction and thereby promote optimum utilization of the human resource involved in the sector.

Abstract.Background: Establishing understanding of infants’ dietary intakes can support interventions to improve their diets and overall health. Because information on the dietary intakes of infants aged ≤12 months in Saudi Arabia is scarce, this study examined the diets of infants aged 6 and 12 months in Saudi Arabia and determined their main dietary sources of total energy and macronutrients. Methods: A crosssectional dietary survey employing a single 24-hour recall was performed between May and December 2015 with a sample of mothers of 278 healthy 6-month-old and 259 12-month-old infants. An analysis of the dietary intake data determined the nutrient intake adequacy and the percentage contributions of foods to energy and macronutrient intakes. Results: The respective mean daily energy intakes of the 6-month-old and 12-month-old infants in the study were 703 kcal and 929 kcal. Both age groups recorded adequate nutrient intakes, with the exception that the 6-month-olds’ mean vitamin D intake fell below the recommended Adequate Intake (AI), and the 12-month-olds’ intakes of omega-6 fatty acids and vitamin D were also below the AI, along with their iron intake which fell short of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA). Conclusion: The data generated here will assist health professionals in planning interventions which aim to improve infants’ diets and to offer guidance to parents on the appropriate selection of food for their infants.
