Prior research into using social networking sites (SNSs) by visually impaired (VI) users has focused primarily on their competencies and accessibility barriers in its usage. We argue, however, that there exists insufficient the daily pattern of use SNSs VI benefits unique to this population. To address these limitations, we conducted two empirical studies, a diary study follow-up in-depth intervie...

Abstract In this paper I argue that social networking sites (SNSs) are emotion technologies promote a highly charged emotional environment where intrinsic regulation is significantly weakened, and people's emotions more strongly modulated by other people the technology itself. show these features of media simplistic outlook which an obstacle to development maintenance virtue. addition, focus on...

Social Network Sites (SNSs) have become a pervasive part of people’s everyday lives, the implications their use need to be investigated and understood. We conducted systematic literature review lay groundwork for understanding relationship between SNS psychological distress. The included articles published 2003 2020, extracted from major academic databases. Findings revealed that SNSs can assoc...

The rationality of believing a piece information depends on the level trust each individual. To make purchase decision, an individual has to they have collected from social media content. That said, influence individual’s companies obtain successfully. This study aims investigate what makes read (SM). Participants this are Germany and United Kingdom (UK). A model is created tested with regressi...

The literature on emotional expression Social Network Sites (SNSs) is still in its infancy. It assumed that SNSs are subject to a positivity bias: individuals share positive aspects of their lives rather than negative ones. However, sentiment analysis studies have shown this bias might not be appropriate for all SNSs, particularly Twitter. This research aimed understand how the emotions message...

BACKGROUND Social networking sites (SNSs) such as Facebook have the potential to enhance online public health interventions, in part, as they provide social exposure and reinforcement. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to evaluate whether social exposure provided by SNSs enhances the effects of online public health interventions. METHODS As a sample intervention, we developed Food He...

Customers’ post-adoption switching behavior among competing service providers, particularly among different online Social Network Sites (SNSs), is gaining increasing attention from both information system researchers and practitioners, as the size of user base is both a selling point and a source of revenue of SNS service providers. In this study, we draw on the uses and gratification theory to...

This study examines individuals’ intentions and behaviour on Social Networking Sites (SNSs). The study proposed model asserts that “Co-presence”, “Intimacy”, “Immediacy”, “Perceived Enjoyment”, and “Perceived ease of use” formed individuals' “Attitude” towards “behavioral intention” to use SNSs. The results support all formulated hypotheses. The proposed model in this study explains 69% of indi...

In wireless body sensor systems (WB-SNSs), all sensor nodes need energy-efficient techniques due to battery limitations. The transmission power control (TPC) algorithm is a representative technique to reduce energy consumption in WB-SNSs. But the sophisticated control of transmission power is very difficult because of many factors such as sensor placements and human motions. So, we must conside...

Prior research on predictors of social network site (SNS) use has mainly focused on the Big Five, narcissism, and self-esteem. Results have been inconsistent, and variance explained was rather low. Need for popularity (NfP) might be a better predictor of SNS use, because SNSs are ideal venues for people with a high NfP. Study 1 tested NfP, self-esteem, need to belong, entitlement, and vanity as...
