YouTube has emerged as a very popular advertising medium in the past few years. Many marketers use this platform as a launch pad for their branding campaign. However, success is not always guaranteed with some advertisements gaining major traction whilst others’ effectiveness becomes questionable with poor traction. Thus, we are aware that social transmission is frequent and important but researchers are not yet clear about why certain content is more viral than others (Berger and Milkman 2011). In this research, we attempt to sift out the factors that contribute most to the ‘virality’ of any advertisement. We define virality as the average of likes, comments, dislikes, shares and hits for the advertisement. Our research builds up further on other research such as Berger and Milkman (2011) and Godes and Mayzlin (2009) within the Indian context by initially identifying 18 themes that were most commonly found in the advertisements here. The sample for identifying the themes was obtained from Youtube and was marked by 20 respondents on a scale of 1 to 7 based upon the degree of presence of the themes identified. Regression, factor analysis and a confirmatory factor analysis were conducted to finally arrive at a list of 7 factors. Though the adjusted R-square value was on the lower side as is the case in most such studies, our exploratory research is one of the first few such studies conducted within the Indian context and adds to our knowledge on virality in online advertising.

AbstractThis study was conducted to determine the significance of the influence of trust information, media literacy, HEXACO personality and Husnudzon towards the tendency of using social media for seeking information at student college. The subject of this research was 280 students taken by probability sampling technique, namely cluster sampling. CFA (Confirmatory Factor Analysis) was used to test the validity of measuring instruments and logistic regression analysis is used to test the research hypothesis. The results showed that there was a significant joint effect of trust, media literacy, HEXACO's personality and Husnudzon towards the tendency of using social media for seeking information. Hypothesis test results show that six variables namely trust, structure of media literacy knowledge, personal media literacy locus, extraversion personality type, Husnudzon towards God, and Husnudzon towards others have a significant influence on the tendency of using social media for seeking information. Meanwhile, media literacy competencies, personality types; honesty-humility, emotionality, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience do not have a significant influence on the tendency of using social media for seeking information. The results also show the proportion of variance from the tendency of using social media for seeking information explained by all independent variables is 18.0% while the remaining 82.0% is influenced by other variables outside of this study.AbstrakPenelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui signifikansi pengaruh trust informasi, literasi media, kepribadian HEXACO dan husnudzon terhadap kecenderungan menggunakan media sosial untuk mencari informasi pada mahasiswa.

It has been widely acknowledged that empathy plays an important role in school education, but empathy as a part of school organizational culture has not been extensively studied in the Indian context. This study explores empathy as the driver for school organizational culture and strives to create a platform for school organizational designs with empathy as the core construct. The study was conducted with two main objectives: (a) to establish and validate a model of empathy-driven school organizational culture and (b) to develop a valid and reliable instrument to measure organizational empathy in Indian schools. A random sample of 441 students participated in the study. The empathy-driven model was validated through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. A part of the questionnaire used for the first part of the study was used for the second part as an independent instrument and validated through confirmatory factor analysis. The instrument was further validated for convergent, discriminant and concurrent validity. Thus, a model for empathy-driven school organizations was validated and a reliable and valid instrument for measuring empathy-driven cultures in schools was developed.

Kemajuan teknologi Internet di dunia memunculkan fenomena baru dalam penggunaan media sosial. Media sosial tidak hanya digunakan untuk berhubungan dengan orang lain, namun juga untuk membentuk kesan yang baik, bahkan untuk melakukan manipulasi. Pengguna media sosial seringkali memanipulasi penampakan mereka di media sosial, seperti mengedit foto atau memalsukan identitas mereka. Fenomena ini termasuk dalam Deception Behavior (perilaku menipu). Meski fenomena ini sering dijumpai, belum banyak studi yang berupaya untuk mengukur kecenderungan seseorang untuk terlibat dalam perilaku menipu di media sosial. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuat skala Deception Behavior in Social Media berdasarkan teori Utz (2005). Partisipan penelitian adalah pengguna aktif media sosial sebanyak 457 orang di wilayah Jabodetabek dengan rentang usia 15-40 tahun. Penelitian ini meliputi pembuatan butir dan pengujian dengan menggunakan Principal Component Analysis (PCA), dilanjutkan dengan Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Sementara itu, reliabilitas diuji dengan menggunakan koefisien Cronbach’s Alpha. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa skala ini reliabel untuk mengukur deception behavior di media sosial.

The aim of this research is to identify social media activities that affect the increase of brand awareness in the fashion industry in Kosovo. The research considers five different social media activities (advertising, influencers, sharing, entertainment, and interaction), and to the best knowledge of the authors, this is the first experiment to consider these factors all together, as well as the first one addressing brand awareness in Kosovo. Quantitative methods were used on a sample of 224 respondents, including confirmatory factor analysis and regression analysis. The analysis was conducted by using the AMOS statistical software. The findings indicate that activities, such as interaction and advertising, have a significant impact on brand awareness, unlike entertainment, sharing, and influencers’ behaviour. The findings provide marketers with recommendations regarding social media activities and the challenges that must be considered before they are implemented.

This study develops two scales, namely, the outside school social media behavior (OSSMB) scale and inside school social media behavior (ISSMB) scale, to measure the types of behavior that adolescent students engage in on social media in two separate contexts: outside school and inside school. Data collected from 814 students in four Hong Kong secondary schools were divided into two equal data sets ( n = 407 for each) by random selection and then analyzed. Principle component analysis (PCA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used to generate and test the structures of the two scales on the different data sets. The PCA results showed good factor loadings for all items (all above .60), and satisfactory total variance were explained by the both structures (69.06% for the OSSMB and 75.30% for the ISSMB). The CFA results showed acceptable model fits for both first- and second-order CFA for both scales. The internal consistency for all factors (and subdimensions) and the two scales were also acceptable. The 21-item OSSMB scale has four subdimensions: Consuming, Communicating, Creating, and Sharing. The 10-item ISSMB scale has three subdimensions: Consuming, Creating, and Sharing. In conclusion, this study provides new tools and conceptual frameworks for assessing students’ social media behavior in two contexts (i.e., outside and inside of school).

This study documents the basic psychometrics of the Past and Planned Investments Measure (PPIM; Goodfriend & Agnew, 2008) in a Turkish sample. Two hundred and sixty-four dual-career married individuals participated and completed the Turkish version of the PPIM (PPIM-TR) along with the Investment Model Scale (IMS; Rusbult, Martz, & Agnew, 1998) and a demographic information form. A four-factor structure of PPIM was confirmed via confirmatory factor analysis albeit with an item deletion due to its irrelevance to Turkish culture. Adequate criterion validity and satisfactory internal consistency results were obtained as a result of the confirmatory factor analysis. Based on the preliminary investigation, the Turkish PPIM proved to be a promising and psychometrically sound measure of the past and planned investments dual-career married individuals make in their relationships. Consequently, the findings were discussed in relation to the relevant literature, implications for counselors were mentioned, and recommendations for future research were presented.
