A study on Predictive Modeling of Users’ Parasocial Relationship Types based on Social Media Text Big Data

The traditional quasi-social relationship type prediction model obtains prediction results by analyzing and clustering the direct data. The prediction results are easily disturbed by noisy data, and the problems of low processing efficiency and accuracy of the traditional prediction model gradually appear as the amount of user data increases. To address the above problems, the research constructs a prediction model of user quasi-social relationship type based on social media text big data. After pre-processing the collected social media text big data, the interference data that affect the accuracy of non-model prediction are removed. The interaction information in the text data is mined based on the principle of similarity calculation, and semantic analysis and sentiment annotation are performed on the information content. On the basis of BP neural network, we construct a prediction model of user’s quasi-social relationship type. The performance test data of the model shows that the average prediction accuracy of the constructed model is 89.84%, and the model has low time complexity and higher processing efficiency, which is better than other traditional models.

Brands, Fans, and Exchanges

Although fandom has a rich history within pop culture, it is difficult to know what constitutes a fandom, what differentiates fandoms from similar phenomena as well as what different types of fandoms exist and how fandoms are formed and maintained. In this chapter, the authors define fandom and the related member actions that create and maintain fandoms, as well as delineate the concept from the similar fan-brand communities of transactional brand communities, social brand communities and brand publics. A typology for fan-brand communities is presented with two dimensions: 1) motivation for engagement; and 2) social status and relationship type. This typology can help guide researchers, brands, and marketers in effectively managing different subcultures of fans. This chapter may be used as a starting point for further understanding of fan-brand community-based relationships.

Measuring reciprocity: Double sampling, concordance, and network construction

Reciprocity—the mutual provisioning of support/goods—is a pervasive feature of social life. Directed networks provide a way to examine the structure of reciprocity in a community. However, measuring social networks involves assumptions about what relationships matter and how to elicit them, which may impact observed reciprocity. In particular, the practice of aggregating multiple sources of data on the same relationship (e.g., “double-sampled” data, where both the “giver” and “receiver” are asked to report on their relationship) may have pronounced impacts on network structure. To investigate these issues, we examine concordance (ties reported by both parties) and reciprocity in a set of directed, double-sampled social support networks. We find low concordance in people’s responses. Taking either the union (including any reported ties) or the intersection (including only concordant ties) of double-sampled relationships results in dramatically higher levels of reciprocity. Using multilevel exponential random graph models of social support networks from 75 villages in India, we show that these changes cannot be fully explained by the increase in the number of ties produced by layer aggregation. Respondents’ tendency to name the same people as both givers and receivers of support plays an important role, but this tendency varies across contexts and relationships type. We argue that no single method should necessarily be seen as the “correct” choice for aggregation of multiple sources of data on a single relationship type. Methods of aggregation should depend on the research question, the context, and the relationship in question.

Effects of Relationship Type on Quality of Life in Older Adults with Cognitive Impairment and the Informal Caregivers

Purpose The purpose of this study was to assess whether there was an association between care-recipient relationship type and the QoL of older adults and their informal caregivers, and whether this association pertained to older adults’ cognitive function. Methods This was a secondary data analysis. Older adults (n=1230) and their informal caregivers (n=1871) were identified from participants in the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) Round 5 and the National Study of Caregiving (NSOC) II. A series of bivariate and multivariable regression models examined the associations among the care-recipient relationship type and QoL in older adults and their informal caregivers, adjusted for socio-demographic variables as well as cognitive functioning. Results Both older adults and caregivers’ QoL outcomes varied by the type of relationship. Recipients cared for by adult-child caregivers or multiple caregivers experienced higher functional limitation than those cared by spousal caregivers (β=.79, CI [.39, 1.19]; β=.50, CI [.17, .82], respectively). “Other” caregivers, such as siblings, friends, etc., had lower odds of experiencing negative emotional burden than spousal caregivers (OR=.26, CI [.13, .52]; OR=.53, CI [.35, .81], respectively). "Other" caregivers were also 51% less likely to experience social strain than spousal caregivers. Lower odds of experiencing negative emotional burdens were also found with multiple caregivers. The association between adult-child caregivers and social strain was explained by the recipients’ cognitive function. Conclusions Care-recipient relationship type impacts the QoL in both recipients and their informal caregivers. This association appears to be affected by care recipients' cognitive function level.

Generational Views of Life Challenges and the Aging Process: Influence of Relationship Type, Frequency, Experience

This study, conducted within a higher education setting, examines and compares views of younger adults (age 20-24) and older adults (age 65-97) in two major areas; life challenges and aging processes. Are they complimentary, neutral, or opposing? We investigate views and the potential association to relationship type (family relation, close contact, casual), frequency (times interacting per month) including mode of communication (face-to-face, phone, visual technology), and narrative of overall experience. A mixed-method approach incorporated convenience survey data and extensive in-depth interviews. Data collection instruments were designed and conducted by students in an upper-division wellness and aging course at SUNY Oswego. Students partnered with older adult study participants. Participant (n=80) inquiries centered on life challenges (COVID, adversity, loss, discrimination/bias, regrets) and aging processes (views on aging, life expectancy, changes in health). The study also examines the impact of the 3-credit course on aging views; specifically did they change their life expectancy choice (years) from the week one by the end of the course.

Examining the Associations Between Online Interactions and Momentary Affect in Depressed Adolescents

Concern has been raised over parallel increases in youth depression and online interactive media use over the past two decades. The aim of this study was to determine whether online interactions are associated with users’ affective states. Using ecological momentary assessment, we measured depressed adolescents’ momentary affect during and residual feelings following online interactions with offline friends and family, online friends, and acquaintances/strangers. We found that depressed adolescents use texting services and social networking sites to interact online, most frequently with offline friends and family, followed by online friends. Results of generalized estimating equations showed associations between negative affect and digital interactions with offline friends and family. Participants were less likely to report feeling better after interacting with online friends than after interacting with any other relationship type. Our findings highlight the heterogeneity of depressed adolescents’ online interactions and suggest that their affective experience varies depending on the nature of the relationships they have with those with whom they interact.

What Are Networks for Social Impact?

This introductory chapter describes the key concepts and approaches used throughout the rest of the book. First, it defines social impact and distinguishes it from individual, organizational, and network outcomes. Second, it defines networks as arrangements of organizations characterized by autonomy and interdependence. Further, the chapter unpacks the dimensions of networks for social impact, including organizational composition, number of organizations, relationship type, network governance, type of social impact, and longevity. Third, the chapter introduces the systems perspective and axioms used throughout the book, contrasting it with configurational and process approaches. Finally, it describes the research and case studies that are foundational to the claims of the book.

Body image self-consciousness, sexting, and sexual satisfaction among midlife Canadians

Life circumstances at midlife are often different than those for younger adults (e.g., relationship type and duration, physical health, experience of sexual problems), and these circumstances impact experiences of sexuality and sexual behaviour. Past research on sexual behaviours like sexting, which has been primarily conducted on young people, may not generalize to middle-aged adults. Sexting may be a beneficial activity for midlife adults in long-term relationships who are seeking private and convenient ways to communicate sexual interest. Furthermore, as in younger samples, sexting may be associated with body image and sexual satisfaction. A cross-sectional study with a sample of 640 midlife (40–59 years old) married Canadians was conducted to address these suppositions. Structural equation modelling was used to test the factorial validity of a body image self-consciousness (BISC) scale and to investigate the connections between BISC, sexting frequency (to communicate sexual interest, to initiate sexual activity, and that include a picture), and sexual satisfaction. Almost one-half of participants (43%) reported sexting to communicate sexual interest, 37% sexted to initiate sexual activity, and 18% sexted sexy pictures of themselves. Women with lower levels of BISC were more likely to sext (communicate, initiate, and pictures), and men with lower levels of BISC were more likely to send sexts with pictures. Both men and women with lower levels of BISC and those who engaged in sexting to communicate sexual interest had higher levels of sexual satisfaction. Sexting may be an opportunity for busy marital partners to engage in technology-mediated sexual activity when apart. The current results indicate that technology-mediated sexual communication has similar psychological mechanisms to face-to-face interactions and that sexting may be a beneficial behaviour for sexual satisfaction within midlife marriages.
