Attachment Behaviour

Today, social media play an important role in people’s daily lives. Many people use social media to satisfy their personal and social needs, such as enhancing self-image, acquiring self-esteem, and gaining popularity. However, when social media are used obsessively and excessively, behavioural addiction symptoms can occur, leading to negative impacts on one’s life, which is defined as a problematic attachment to social media. Research suggests that tools can be provided to assist the change of problematic attachment behaviour, but it remains unclear how such tools should be designed and personalised to meet individual needs and profiles. This study makes the first attempt to tackle this problem by developing five behavioural archetypes, characterising how social media users differ in their problematic attachments to them. The archetypes are meant to facilitate effective ideation, creativity, and communication during the design process and helping the elicitation and customisation of the variability in the requirements and design of behaviour change tools for combatting problematic usage of social media. This was achieved by using a four-phase qualitative study where the diary study method was considered at the initial stage, and also the refinement and confirmation stage, to enhance ecological validity.

Depth Interviews

In this study, we explored the motivations and the effects of selfie taking, posting, and viewing. To understand the selfie phenomenon, we conducted in-depth interviews with 16 American and Chinese students. The findings suggest that the selfie phenomenon among American students is not necessarily related to narcissism and low self-esteem, as argued in many previous literatures. Contrarily, selfie usage among Chinese students is more associated with narcissism (self-indulgence in recreational selfie-taking) and impression management (selfie-editing to improve online self-image). In the general, selfie taking, viewing, and posting behaviors could be conceptualized as more than just a display of narcissism, but also as a new way of communication, life-recording, online impression management, and relationship management. Cultural differences between American and Chinese students' use of selfies are also discussed.

Trata-se de um estudo descritivo que objetiva identificar as alterações causadas por uma ostomia no viver de seus portadores. Foram realizadas entrevistas com oito ostomizados de uma cidade do Rio Grande do Sul. A resolução 196/96 foi seguida. Os dados foram analisados pela técnica de Análise de Conteúdo. Verificamos que estes pacientes têm sua perspectiva de vida alterada, precisam adaptar-se ao uso de equipamentos, sentem medo da nova situação, têm sua imagem corporal desfeita, sua auto-estima diminuída e sua sexualidade comprometida, perdem o controle sobre o corpo e sentem-se estigmatizados. Algumas pessoas afastam-se do seu convívio enquanto outras se fazem mais presentes como forma de apoio. Verificamos que são complexas as alterações causadas pela ostomização e que a compreensão destas pelo enfermeiro tornam-se importantes no sentido de propiciar o planejamento de um cuidado mais efetivo, humano e de qualidade.Living with an ostomy: knowing for better caringAbstractThis is a descriptive study aiming to identify the changes caused by ostomy in ostomates’ daily lives. Complying with 196/96 resolution, eight ostomates were interviewed in a city in Rio Grande do Sul State/Brazil. Data were analyzed by the technique of Content Analysis. It was verified that these patients’ life perspective has changed. They need to adapt to the use of the equipment, so they fear the new situation. They have their self-image disrupted, their self-esteem diminished and their sexuality hindered; they lose control over their body and they feel stigmatized. Some people from their relations turn their back to them while others stand by them even more than they used to. It was evidenced that changes caused by ostomy are very complex, and it is important for nurses to understand them in order to provide a more effective, humanized and qualified care planning.

My novel #nofilter follows Mia, a photo model who is pretty famous on the social media platform Instagram, as she meets Kyle, her online boyfriend for the first time. In an effort to earn other people’s acceptance, Mia has been building a perfect online persona. However, after meeting Kyle, it is revealed that she is not who she portrays herself to be. As my work revolves on how social media affects someone’s self-esteem, hopefully it can help the readers learn to love themselves and do not depend their self-esteem on others. Specifically, I focus on how Mia maintains an idealized online persona in order to cope with her low self-esteem and earn other people’s acceptance, how the contrast between Mia’s online and real life personas causes her relationship with Kyle to crumble, and how Mia learns to love herself by accepting her weaknesses and acknowledging her positive qualities. For that reason, I use Contingencies of Self-esteem theory by Jennifer Crocker and Connie T. Wole, the Social Comparison theory, and the Presentation of Self in Everyday Life by Erving Goffman. Set in the early years after college, I use New Adult genre and the sub-genre Contemporary Romance to explore Kyle and Mia’s romantic relationship. Keywords: Social media, Instagram, self-esteem, online persona, New Adult, Contemporary Romance

Mental Well Being

Introduction: Population health concerns have been raised about negative impacts from overuse of digital technologies. We examine patterns of online activity predictive of Digital Overuse and Addictive Traits (DOAT). We explore associations between DOAT and mental well-being and analyse how both relate to self-reported changes in self-esteem, perceived isolation, and anxiety about health when individuals use the internet for health purposes.Methods: A cross-sectional nationally representative household survey of adults using stratified random sampling (compliance 75.4%, n = 1,252). DOAT was measured using self-reported questions adapted from a social media addiction scale (failure to cut down use, restlessness when not using, and impact on job/studies and home/social life in the last year), combined into a single DOAT score. Higher DOAT score was defined as >1 standard deviation above population mean. The Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale was used to measure mental well-being. Analyses were limited to those with internet access (n = 1,003).Results: Negative impacts of digital technology use on work and home/social lives were reported by 7.4% of respondents. 21.2% had tried but failed to cut down use in the past year. Higher DOAT was associated with higher social media and internet use but also independently associated with greater risks of low mental well-being. Higher DOAT was associated with both improvement and worsening of self-esteem, perceived isolation and anxiety about health when using the internet for health reasons, with no change in these outcomes most likely in those with lower DOAT. Lower mental well-being was associated with a similar bi-directional impact on perceived isolation and was also associated with worsening self-esteem.Conclusions: Substantial proportions of individuals report negative impacts on home, social and working lives from digital technology use, with many trying but failing to cut down use. Individuals with higher DOAT may experience improvements or worsening in self-esteem and other measures of mental well-being when using the internet for health purposes. From a public health perspective, a greater understanding of risk factors for digital overuse, its impacts on well-being and how to reasonably limit use of technology are critical for a successful digital revolution.

The Impact

The existence of social media that is growing so rapidly that teenagers, especially students, cannot be separated from social media in their daily lives. This is because social media can meet the needs of students, such as communication, existence and information search. Social media itself will certainly have positive and negative impacts. If students are addicted to social media, it can cause mental disorders such as uncontrolled emotions, anxiety, irritability, jealousy, and even losing their self-confidence. With qualitative research methods and interviews with eleven university students in March Surakarta, the author can explain the role of social media in the mental health conditions of students at Sebelas Maret University. The impact caused by social media can be overcome in various ways, one of which is to be able to use social media wisely. The purpose of this study was to find out how influential social media was on mental health in eleven university students in March Surakarta. The results showed that social media is very influential on students' mental health, this can be proven by the number of students who lack confidence in the potential that exists within them.

In current times social media is considered a necessity and it is often normal for people to be dependent on them. With the arrival of these platforms, it has created an opportunity for people to express themselves in a way that they could not otherwise. However this has also led to an addiction in some people and has proved to be disruptive of daily life activities. But the expression of this addiction to social media is not similar in all cases. The differences in behavioral and personality patterns manifest themselves as social media addiction. This may be rooted in narcissistic tendency as a way of portraying themselves as superior to their peers and a need to feed their ego; or low self esteem as a way of seeking approval and a need to boost their self-image. To test this hypothesis and to estimate the correlation between the three factors of social media addiction, narcissistic tendency and low self esteem we used the following questionnaires – Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale, Narcissistic Personality Inventory-16 and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem scale. The questionnaires were administered to 290 persons (104 males and 186 females) in the age group of 15 – 50 years. It was found that both males and females exhibited social media addiction with females having a higher tendency to be narcissistic and lower self esteem.

PurposeDriven by social comparison and self-congruity theories, this paper's aim was to investigate the associations with Korean millennials' usage of social media, self-image congruity and conspicuous online consumption. The mediating influence of self-image congruity and the moderating effect of self-esteem were also examined.Design/methodology/approachThese data were gathered through an online research portal from 302 Korean millennials. Structural equation modeling (SEM) analyses and moderated mediation analysis using Hayes PROCESS macro were applied to test proposed hypotheses.FindingsThe result of the structural equation analyses showed strong, positive associations between social media usage, self-image congruity and conspicuous online consumption, while self-image congruity also acted as a mediator between Korean millennials' usage of social media and conspicuous online consumption. Moreover, in moderated mediation analysis, the pathway between self-image congruity and conspicuous online consumption was stronger for millennials with higher self-esteem.Originality/valueMillennials' social media usage and conspicuous consumption are widely acknowledged in consumer research. However, little is known about how millennials' social media usage could influence their conspicuous online consumption through mediating and moderating mechanisms such as self-image congruity and self-esteem. This research extends previous studies by analyzing these mechanisms.

Background: The present study has been carried out to find out the people’s perception about the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects of this pandemic on their daily lives. Methods: A Google form was used to create an online survey questionnaire distributed via personal relationships and social media. Data were collected using questionnaires consisting of socio-demographic status of participants, COVID-19 concepts and changes in the participants’ lifestyle. A total of 1088 respondents took part in the survey, and the results were evaluated using several statistical approaches. The results were presented in a variety of tables and graphs. Results: Males made up 53.3% of the participants, while females made up 46.7% who were from villages (29.87%), cities (53.77%), and semi-urban areas (16.36%). Most participants reported that they got information about the COVID-19 pandemic from social media, and they cited 'fever' as an indicator of the sickness. Although the amount of physical interactions with friends and family has not dropped much, working conditions and employment status have significantly altered. The majority of the participants claimed they have no concerns about the COVID-19. Conclusion: For up-to-date information regarding COVID-19, people in Bangladesh from all walks of life rely largely on social media. COVID-19 awareness isn't enough to inhibit the spreading of the virus from community to community. Employees' work schedules have also been drastically altered. To prevent transmission, we should all follow the safety rules strictly.               Peer Review History: Received: 4 November 2021; Revised: 17 December; Accepted: 28 December, Available online: 15 January 2022 Academic Editor: Dr. Muhammad Zahid Iqbal, AIMST University, Malaysia, [email protected] UJPR follows the most transparent and toughest ‘Advanced OPEN peer review’ system.

Summary: My comment is basically restricted to the situation in which less-able students find themselves and refers only to literature in German. From this point of view I am basically able to confirm Marsh's results. It must, however, be said that with less-able pupils the opposite effect can be found: Levels of self-esteem in these pupils are raised, at least temporarily, by separate instruction, academic performance however drops; combined instruction, on the other hand, leads to improved academic performance, while levels of self-esteem drop. Apparently, the positive self-image of less-able pupils who receive separate instruction does not bring about the potential enhancement of academic performance one might expect from high-ability pupils receiving separate instruction. To resolve the dilemma, it is proposed that individual progress in learning be accentuated, and that comparisons with others be dispensed with. This fosters a self-image that can in equal measure be realistic and optimistic.
