Internet And Social Media

The phenomenon of internet and social media addiction has attracted the attention of many people. We have conducted a research to examine whether or not the phenomenon of addiction to the internet and social media is a scientific reality. Then, we follow up this research. About 2014 respondents have been surveyed. Pearson’s Product Moment and Cronbach's Alpha tests were conducted to find out whether or not all the questions on this survey questionnaire were valid and reliable. The Chi Square hypothesis test was put forward Helmert’s theory around 1960; Helmert was a German Mathematical Physicist who mainly studied the field of Geodesy, even though Ernst Abbe and Irenne Jules Bienayme had already discovered this Chi Square distribution. The results of the internet addiction survey showed that 74.68% of respondents were not addicted and the rest were addicted mildly, moderately and severely. For the social media addiction survey, 79.94% of respondents were not addicted and the rest were addicted. Variables affecting addiction are age, occupation, and education. Internet and social media addiction is mostly experienced by Generation Y and Z, while Generation X has less addiction. The results of the measurement of Internet and social media addiction include scientific reality and attention should be paid to it and steps should be taken in the context of prevention and recovery for those who are addicted. Prevention and recovery for those who are addicted can be done by involving three major components: family, community, and state.

The internet and social media is bringing the world closer. It keeps us connected as it is not possible for people to carry any social visits personally due to their hectic schedule. However trolling is a menace in the age of internet and social media. Some people with malicious intentions tend to misuse the social media platforms and thereby cause trouble to other innocent users. Therefore a person who opens an account on social media shall behave in a civilized way and use the social media in decent way so that there is no trouble caused to other social media users.

Internet And Social Media

Internet y las redes sociales se han convertido en las tecnologías estrella entre los estudiantes actuales. En cambio, todavía hay pocos estudios sobre el uso y percepción que el alumnado hace de ellas. Incluso, es difícil encontrar comparaciones entre las percepciones sobre el uso que realizan los estudiantes desde el punto de vista del profesorado y del mismo alumnado. El objetivo de este trabajo es profundizar en las diferencias entre las percepciones del profesorado y los estudiantes respecto a los usos de internet y redes sociales que estos últimos realizan. La muestra está conformada por 17 600 alumnos y 1 498 docentes de la Ciudad de México. Se realizó un estudio exploratorio y ex post-facto, mediante el instrumento de recogida de datos “Social Media Addiction Scale-Studen Form”. Entre los resultados destaca la diferencia entre la percepción de uso que presenta el alumnado y la que tiene el profesorado. Además, son los estudiantes que cursan sus estudios a distancia los que más utilizan las redes para su proceso de aprendizaje. Estos resultados sugieren la necesidad de tomar medidas educativas para intensificar el uso formativo de internet y las redes sociales entre el alumnado. Internet and social media have become so trend tech activity among the current students. On the other hand, there are still few studies about the usage and the perceptions students have about them. It is even harder to find some comparisons between the perception of the students and the professors in this topic. The purpose of this work is to deepen into the existent differences between the students and teachers perceptions referred to the Internet and social media usage. The sample gathered 17600 students and 1498 teachers within Mexico City. The study was made to explore and post-facto as well, using data form from "Social Media Addiction Scale-Student Form". The results emphasized the difference between the perception of usage for students and for teachers. Students who work their curricula on line, use the internet for their learning process. These results suggest the need to apply educative dictations to intensify the formative use of internet and social media in the student´s environment.

This study discusses how the internet facilitated the online donation movement to help deal with the Covid-19 in Indonesia and Vietnam. The internet has critical roles in online donations by spreading information, connecting individuals, and making an online donation movement. We use the connective action concept to explain how the social movement is developed by connecting people through the loose organizational or no-organizational platform. We find that the internet and social media have an essential role in informing, connecting, and simultaneously being a means of online donation activities of individuals from various backgrounds. In this action, individuals are connected emotionally and encourage their empathy and solidarity across identities. In other words, the online connection encourages people to gather and donate as social action. However, in contrast to the connective action concept based on real (offline) action, the online donation for Covid-19 shows that individuals are connected and act online. Therefore, conceptually, the online donation case could enrich the connective action concept in the context of online connection and online action.

Internet And Social Media

Background Growing individualization within the past decades has been described as a fundamental shift in society. Studies have reported how the digital age promotes new forms of individualism with self-tracking technologies and self-presentation in social networks. Potential harmful effects on the mental health of young adults have already been at the forefront of research. However, 2 questions that remain unanswered are how emotional experiences and expressions of self-relatedness differ among generations in their usage of the internet and social media, and if an increasing individualism can be observed by this. Objective The aim of this study is to examine whether the use of the internet and social media has led people to be more concerned about themselves than former generations. The potential consequences of mental and emotional distress among different age groups are analyzed. Methods A focus-group approach was chosen to study the following age groups: Baby Boomers (those born in 1950-1965), Generation X (those born in 1966-1980), and Digital Natives (those born in 1981-2000). We organized 6 focus groups with 36 participants who discussed their private usage of the internet and social media, different devices, platforms and functions, communication behavior, and self-tracking. We applied inductive category formation and followed the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research (SRQR) checklist. Results We found differences in the 3 studied generations regarding the reasons for their use of the internet and social media, the effects of this use, personal feelings and experiences, expressions of self-relatedness, and social relationships. The Baby Boomers voiced a wish to stay autonomous while being in contact with their personal network. Generation X included enthusiastic members who appreciate self-tracking for curiosity and fascination, as well as people who felt fears about data surveillance. The Digital Natives reported a wish to optimize their own body by self-tracking while being faced with norms and expectations that were communicated via the internet and social media. Conclusions All generations expressed self-relatedness, yet by different means. The Baby Boomers expressed less individualism than Generation X and the Digital Natives, who felt the highest strain due to social comparisons. However, all generations reported specific, potentially problematic consequences for their mental health. Age-specific coping strategies are necessary to promote a mentally healthy way of using the internet and social media.

Abstract Background With an escalating prevalence, vaccine rejection is one of the ten threats to global health as identified by the World Health Organization in 2019. Vaccine rejection and hesitancy can be defined as the hesitancy of individuals to get vaccinated against diseases that can be prevented by vaccination. This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes and behaviours of parents who use primary healthcare services. Methods Conducted between August and September 2019, this study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional design. The sample size of the study was calculated to be 378, considering a 95% confidence interval and 80% power. The survey form, the data collection tool of the study, included questions concerning sociodemographic characteristics of individuals and their knowledge, attitudes and behaviours regarding vaccination. The data were analysed on SPSS 22.0. Chi-square test was used in statistical analyses, and the significance level was set as p < 0.05. Results In the study group, 15.5% of the parents stated that they were hesitant about vaccines in childhood, 81.3% stated that their source of information on vaccines was healthcare staff and 28% stated that it was the internet. The hesitancy level was significantly high among those who believed that vaccines led to autism and infertility and those who did not trust pharmaceutical companies (p < 0.05). The hesitancy level regarding vaccines was significantly lower among those whose source of information was healthcare staff, whereas it was significantly higher among those whose source of information was the internet (p < 0.05). Conclusions Parents' beliefs that vaccines led to autism and infertility increased their hesitancy levels. The inaccurate information on the internet and social media increased their hesitancy levels. Hesitancy levels were lower among the parents who received information from healthcare staff. Key messages Healthcare staff should organise public trainings on vaccines to reduce the hesitancy levels of parents. Anti-vaccination statements on the internet and social media influence individuals’ vaccination behaviours.

This study was planned with the aim of determining the usage of the Internet and social media among the nurses at the Centre of Health Research and Practice at the University of Mersin, in addition to investigating its contribution to their professional development and evaluating the usage of social media in an ethical perspective. Nurses as an employee group work very closely with society and provide services to healthy and ill individuals. They have been increasingly using both Internet and social media sources while undertaking their roles. This study is a descriptive study. A questionnaire was supplied to 260 nurses who were on duty at the hospital while the data was being collected and who agreed to participate in the research. The data acquired was analyzed using the statistical methods of arithmetic averages, percentages, standard deviations (SD) and chi-square (X2). The results were evaluated using a confidence interval of 95%, with a level of significance of p<0.05. The nurses who stated that they use the Internet comprised 259 of the 260 nurses that participated, while 83.8% of them used social media. According to this study, the usage of the Internet and social media for professional development is also common. The majority of the nurses accept that the usage of social media has various risks and state that there is a need for informative studies directed towards more effective usage of these tools.

Abstract 1) Purpose: When speaking of behavioral addictions (especially to the Internet and social media), it is emphasized that is not the environment that is the main contributor to addiction, but rather certain behaviors and personality traits. The aim of this study was to assess the level of Internet and social media addiction on the example of Facebook with regard to psychological and social factors. 2) Methods: This survey-based study involved a group of women representative of the female population in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland (N = 556). Research instruments were a self-developed questionnaire concerning sociodemographic data, the De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale, the Beck Depression Inventory, the Internet Addiction Test, and the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale. 3) Results: Age, depressive symptoms, loneliness were the variable contributing to Internet and Facebook addiction among the studied. Available studies confirm the results of own research. 4) Conclusions: Depressive symptoms, and dependence on the Internet and Facebook were more common among single women. In the employed women we only observed higher levels of Internet and Facebook addiction. The level of dependence on the Internet and Facebook was higher among younger women. Loneliness correlated with Internet and Facebook addiction, and more severe depressive symptoms entailed higher levels of Internet and Facebook addiction.
