No effect of different types of media on well-being

It is often assumed that traditional forms of media such as books enhance well-being, whereas new media do not. However, we lack evidence for such claims and media research is mainly focused on how much time people spend with a medium, but not whether someone used a medium or not. We explored the effect of media use during one week on well-being at the end of the week, differentiating time spent with a medium and use versus nonuse, over a wide range of different media types: music, TV, films, video games, (e-)books, (digital) magazines, and audiobooks. Results from a six-week longitudinal study representative of the UK population 16 years and older (N = 2159) showed that effects were generally small; between-person relations but rarely within-person effects; mostly for use versus nonuse and not time spent with a medium; and on affective well-being, not life satisfaction.

How Do German Manufacturers React to the Increasing Societal Pressure for Decarbonisation?

From the perspective of manufacturing companies, the political, media and economic discourse on decarbonisation in the recent years manifests itself as an increasing social expectation of action. In Germany, in particular, this discourse is also being driven forward by powerful companies, respectively sectors, most notably the automotive industry. Against this background, the present paper examines how German manufacturing companies react to rising societal pressure and emerging policies. It examines which measures the companies have taken or plan to take to reduce their carbon footprint, which aspirations are associated with this and the structural characteristics (company size, energy intensity, and sector) by which these are influenced. A mix methods approach is applied, utilising data gathered from approx. 900 companies in context of the Energy Efficiency Index of German Industry (EEI), along with media research focusing on the announced decarbonisation plans and initiatives. We demonstrate that one-size-serves-all approaches are not suitable to decarbonise industry, as the situation and ambitions differ considerably depending on size, energy intensity and sector. Even though the levels of ambition and urgency are high, micro and energy intensive companies, in particular, are challenged. The present research uncovers a series of questions that call for attention to materialise the ambitions and address the challenges outlined.

In this digital era, information and communication technology has made enormous progress, making it easier for people to interact through social media. One of the most widely used social media applications is Instagram. This study aims to find the ratios found on social media Instagram. These ratios can later be used to perform analyzes that can be measured mathematically. The research method used is exploratory to find the variables contained in Instagram. These variables will be juxtaposed to be tested for relevance so as to find the relevant ratio used to assess the performance of an Instagram account. The results of this Instagram social media research show that there are 14 ratios that can be used to assess, measure and compare the credibility of an Instagram account. The implication of the discovery of this ratio is that further researchers can conduct quantitative research in measuring, assessing and comparing accounts on Instagram.

PENGEMBANGAN MEDIA “SMART BOARDBOOK” BERBASIS AUGMENTED REALITY PADA TEMA 6 SUBTEMA 1 KELAS II SD NEGERI 104197 DESA KLAMBIR

The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of using Augmented Reality-based “Smart Boardbook” media. This research is a development research (Research and Development) which refers to the ADDIE development model which consists of 5 stages, namely the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The research shows that the augmented reality-based “smart boardbook” media on the theme of 6 sub-theme 1 class II SD that was developed has been validated by a media expert validator in the first stage obtaining a feasibility percentage of 73.80% included in the “feasible” criteria and in stage II obtaining the results of the percentage of eligibility of 95.20% are included in the "very feasible" criteria. And according to the material expert validator in stage I the percentage of feasibility results is 75.55%. included in the "feasible" criteria and in stage II the percentage of eligibility results was 92.22%. included in the "very feasible" criteria. And according to education practitioners, the percentage of eligibility results is 98.18% including the "very feasible" criteria. The results of individual trials and small group trials each get an average score of 1 which is in the "good" category. In the field trial stage, the effectiveness criteria were achieved with the number of students reaching 17 people in the post-test or about 89.47%.

Instagram is a social network that was born from a company called Burbn, Inc. which was founded on October 6, 2010. The company was founded by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger who currently serve as CEOs of Instagram.

One of the unique features on Instagram is that it looks like a photo into a square shape, so you can see the results of the Kodak Instamatic and Polaroid cameras. This study aims to determine the ratios contained in social media Instagram. These ratios can later be used to perform analyzes that can be determined mathematically. The research method used is exploratory to find the variables contained in Instagram. These variables will be tested, so that relevant ratios can be found to be used to assess the performance of an Instagram account. The results of this Instagram social media research show that 14 ratios that can be used to assess, measure and compare come from an Instagram account. The implication of finding this ratio is that further researchers can conduct quantitative research in measuring, assessing and comparing accounts on Instagram.

Exploring the “Social” in Social Media: Adolescent Relatedness—Thwarted and Supported

The pervasiveness of social media in adolescents’ lives has important implications for their relationships. Considering today’s adolescents have grown up with social media, research capturing their unique perspectives of how social media impacts their relationships is needed to increase understanding and help guide behaviors that nurture social-connectedness. Utilizing multiple qualitative methods, this study explores adolescents’ perspectives of how their social media use impacts their relationships. The sample comprised 36, Year 9 students aged 15 years from four metropolitan schools in Melbourne, Australia. All participants completed a rich picture mapping activity and focus group discussions. To gain deeper understandings, a sub-sample of 11 adolescents participated in subsequent one-on-one interviews. Reflexive thematic analysis generated two overarching themes (1) developing and strengthening relationships and (2) diminishing relationships. Sub-themes included; making new friends, maintaining relationships, deepening connections, enhancing belonging, rifts and strains, and anti-social behavior. Findings revealed nuanced insights into “how” and “why” adolescents believe social media impacts relationships. Adolescents explained that social media transforms interactions through amplifying and intensifying relational experiences resulting in both beneficial and detrimental outcomes for their relationships. Cultivating the positive aspects of adolescents’ social media use whilst mitigating the negative is important toward supporting relatedness and fostering wellbeing.

Editorial

We are pleased to announce several innovations at SComS. In July, SComS was added to the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). This gives our young open access journal more visibility and connects us even better with the growing community dedicated to developing open access journals and making scientific knowledge accessible. In addition, there are technical innovations on the Submission Platform. Authors can now directly enter their ORCID ID as part of the submission process and link their papers to their unique researcher ID. In case you are not familiar with ORCID, you can find more information on https://orcid.org. Let us now turn our attention from future issues to this issue of SComS. It contains four articles in the General Section, a Thematic Section entitled “Critical perspectives on migration in discourse and communication,” and two book reviews in the Reviews and Reports Section. In addition, the Community Section contains the summary of Sina Blassnig’s dissertation, which was awarded the 2021 Dissertation Prize of the Swiss Association of Communication and Media Research (SACM). On a sad occasion, the issue also contains an obituary of the communication and media scientist Michael Schanne.
