Full textRelational aggression acted out through social media or cyber bullying is an ever-growing limitedly researched issue that is impacting students and parents alike. A mixed-method study was conducted using existing older and aspiring younger social workers and counselors to investigate attitudes (focus groups and text box comments) and relationships (surveys) between variables. The research questions asked how attitudes toward cyber bullying based on gender, type of social media, parent versus nonparent status, and involved parent versus not involved parent status. Hypotheses tested correlations between the same elements.
Participants were 75 existing social workers and counselors working at a Midwestern school district, and 137 aspiring social workers and counselors enrolled in a Midwestern university undergraduate social worker program and a graduate counselor program. The participant age varied—the youngest group was the undergraduate social worker students and graduate counseling students the oldest group was the existing social workers and counselors. Gender varied, but the majority of participants were female.
All participants were surveyed with an instrument designed to measure attitude that included three scenarios of relational aggression. Among those surveyed, some also participated in a video recorded focus group to measure attitude. Survey results were analyzed using t tests and F tests that found minimal significance between participant responses. Focus group results were first analyzed using axial coding for three key elements: parent involvement, relational aggression, and social media, and found that by far, the majority of responses aligned with the element, parent involvement. Next, open coding of just the parent involvement responses resulted in the following emerging themes: general parent involvement, parent monitoring, parent involvement as a resolution, parent involvement as a prevention, and parental advisement.
There was more female representation that took the survey than males. Lack of familiarity with social media websites made it difficult for honest responses and if they were used to cyber bully. Most respondents felt parent involvement is important in preventing cyber bullying despite parental status. Involved parental monitoring of their child’s social media are aware of their online behavior. Cyber bullying is a prevalent topic that provided strong reactions from all data sets.

Full textTraditional aged college students currently enrolled at institutions of higher education have never known a time without technology and through social media, can interact and engage with one another regardless of physical space. Technology provides fast, easy, efficient, and constant means of communication, and students use social media while simultaneously engaging in campus activities. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between student use of socially interactive technology (SIT) and engagement and involvement in the undergraduate experience. Social media included in this study refers to cell phones, text messaging, Instant Messaging, email, and social networking sites (SNS). Borrowing items from the Net Generation Survey and the National Study for Student Engagement (NSSE) an instrument was created to analyze time dedicated to technology, use by demographics, technology as a predictor student of engagement, as well as qualitative data. Results from 154 participants show that students use technology for approximately eight hours per day, male students in the sample are overrepresented at the lowest levels of social media use, and social media types are correlated with one another. Following a factor analysis on the independent technology items and the dependent engagement items, regression analyses were employed to explore this relationship. Qualitative data illustrate that technology use can distract students from academic activities, and limits interpersonal communication. Conversely, it is beneficial in that students are constantly updated on class discussions, campus events, and with peers and family. Given these findings, because of students' frequent use of technology while engaged or involved in campus activities, concerns regarding the quality of these experiences are discussed. Additionally, redefining the traditional meaning of campus involvement is appropriate

Full textThe aim of this paper is to describe which view the Chinese government in connection with the Olympics wants to display for the natural world and analyze if this view coincide with China’s foreign-policy goals. A qualitative content analysis is used. By using the theory of rational choice and a model with three different political approaches I want to examine whether or not the foreign-policy goals of the Chinese regime comport with the view that displays in two major newspapers in China. Since the runoff voting in Moscow in 2001 for the 2008 Olympics the Chinese government has been able to act rational and to compose different strategies to use the Games in Beijing for political propaganda. The analysis show that the governing in China make use of domestic media to put across their political message and some of the most important foreign-policy goals also occur in articles that handle the Olympic Games of 2008.

Full textThis study examined user-generated (UG) advertising in the context of social media networks. The focus was on how people, whether an expert in the area, a non-expert or a friend, influence the reader of the advertisement. Furthermore, the study analyzed how the certainty level of the UG advertisement influences the person viewing the ad. The study showed that for the friend source a high certainty message was more persuasive. However, regarding the certainty no significant results were found for the expert and non-expert. Further, the type of the source had a considerable impact on persuasion. Someone that we personally know (e.g., a friend) was rated most positive for all analyzes variables. This shows that with the rising usage of social media there are great opportunities for new effective advertising strategies that could include a new type of an endorser – friends.

Purpose/Aim: The general purpose of this essay is to analyse how the member organizations of LSU – The National Council of Swedish Youth Organizations, see the communication,activities and their influence over the organization. I aim to do an analysis of the target group to find out if the lack of involvement in LSU is caused by communication problems.
Material/Method: The method of this essay is quantitative and is based upon a web-survey.The chairmen of the member organizations have been asked to answer a survey about the communication in LSU. To get an idea of how widespread different opinions about LSU are the empirical data has been made into graphs to show the frequencies and also cross tabulations to find out if there are any correlations between the variables.
Main result: This study has shown that the problem with involvement in LSU is only partly a communication problem. One important result is that many member organizations feel that LSU doesn’t listen to their opinions and they express a wish to have more influence over the organization. The broad target group is both a strength and a weakness to the organization. It is a hard task to communicate in such a differentiated organization, since the members have many views on LSU and have different degrees of involvement. But it is also a strength to be able to create meeting points where different organizations can learn from each other.
Keywords: Communication problems, internal communication, involvement, non-profit, organizations, umbrella organization, youth organizations.

Integrated marketing communications strategies are being utilized more and more by practitioners who wish to reach their audiences in different ways at different times. However, the omnipresence that results from these multi-channel campaigns presents a new challenge for marketers, as their message and channel sequences may or may not be experienced in the order intended. Past literature has shown that both message order and channel sequence do matter. However, existing literature has not examined intended message sequences where the first channel “teases” the more comprehensive information available in the second channel. Therefore, the aim of this study was to bridge some of the gaps in past research by exploring message content order effects and channel sequence effects across intentional sequences for both high- and low-involvement product categories through the lens of the Elaboration Likelihood Model. A 2 (message content order: tease-to-answer versus answer-to-tease) by 2 (medium sequence: print-to-online versus online-to-print) by 2 (product involvement: high- versus low-involvement) mixed factorial experimental design was conducted to explore how message content order, channel sequence, and product involvement level affected evaluations of brand and message, as well as perceived behavioral intent. The findings indicated that message content order had significant influence over brand and message evaluation, with the tease-to-answer order producing the highest evaluations of brand and message. The findings also indicated that the online-to-print sequence was only effective for increasing behavioral intent under high-involvement conditions. Implications for marketing practitioners and future research are discussed.

Full textAuthors: Hanna Eriksson, Zara Lood Lindqvist, Alexandra Uhrberg Mentor: Åsa Lindström Examiner: Bertil Hultén Course: Master Thesis 30 credits, Master of Business and Economics, Marketing, Linnaeus University, Kalmar, Spring 2017, 4FE63E Research question: How are consumers affected by influencer marketing compared to advertisement in social media where influencers are not present, when buying low involvement products? Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze and discuss influencers impact on consumers buying decisions for low involvement products. By taking the cost of influencer marketing and residual advertisement in social media into consideration and analyze how consumers perceive advertisement in social media for low involvement products, with and without influencers, the authors of this study aim to generate indicators of the value of an influencer in the unique context. In addition to generate knowledge in a new and fast changing theoretical area this study aims to contribute with practical implications for companies that sell low involvement products and marketing agencies, that advertise this type of products, to determine if they prefer to integrate influencers in social media in their marketing strategies or not. Method: This thesis has an inductive approach, an explorative purpose and a qualitative research have been conducted. Data has been collected through focus groups and a quasi experiment with consumers as well as semi-structured interviews with representatives of the sector. Results and conclusions: Influencer marketing attracts attention to a higher extent than advertisement in social media. It is possible though, to attract attention through social media advertisement for low involvement products. It is more likely that consumers are affected by social media advertisement for strong brands. When implementing influencer marketing, the brand is not that vital. Advertisement in social media and influencer marketing can attain credibility for different reasons. Theoretical contributions and practical implications: Consumers disregard influencer marketing for low involvement products to some extent, since they are not in need of expert opinions when buying low involvement products. They can though act on influencers recommendations for this type of products to minimize the cognitive effort. Consumers perceive advertisement in social media for low involvement products in a positive way when products appears clear and in an appealing way. Advantages as well as disadvantages in using influencer marketing and advertisement in social media for low involvement products have been identified. Influencer marketing can be useful for less established brands while advertisement in social media can work well for strong brands. Strategies regarding influencer marketing and advertisement in social media for low involement products are to be find under chapter 7.3.1 and 7.3.2.

Full textPurpose/Aim: To create a communication strategy for PADI Nordic with the intention of getting Swedish divers, who have been certified abroad, to Swedish dive centers.
Material/Method: The study is based on a number of personal interviews conducted with a) divers who are active in Sweden, b) divers who are not active in Sweden and c) representatives from PADI and PADI affiliated dive centers.
Main results: The main reason that people who have been certified abroad do not dive in Sweden is that they regard it as being too complicated, too cold, too expensive and with nothing interesting to see. These might partly be misconceptions that can be corrected through a communication strategic effort. The best way to change this perception is by two different forms of communication. One will go from PADI Nordic straight to the divers through an email. This will have the purpose of getting their attention, making diving sound interesting and raise their awareness in preparation for the other part of the process. The other part is communication from PADI affiliated dive centres directed towards the divers. This will be in the form of more traditional marketing, and will have the purpose of making diving in Sweden sound easy, uncomplicated and price worthy. Hopefully this will bring people in to the dive centres, and in the ideal case they will in time also bring their friends along – by becoming the first link in a two step flow of communication.

Full textResearch questions: Do companies have processes to create content for social media? How do consumers engage in content that companies have published on social media? Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to describe and explain companies’ processes to create content for social media and analyze the consumers’ commitment to the content that companies have published. Another purpose is to provide a conceptual model for the course of creating, publishing and following up content between a company and a consulting firm. Finally we aim to give recommendations to companies about how they can develop their use of social media as a marketing tool. Method: The study has an inductive approach with an explorative purpose. The survey was performed using a qualitative method. The data was collected by means personal interviews and an observational study with an additional interview. This empirical data was analyzed using a qualitative data analysis. Results: The companies’ processes to create content are insufficient. The study also revealed that consumers have a greater commitment to content published by companies if their friends have recommended the content, if it is humoristic or related to charity. Theoretical and practical contributions: The theoretical contribution is to develop the process to create content on social media. The practical contribution is in the form of recommendations to companies about how they can develop their usage of social media as a marketing tool.

Full textThis dissertation examines three state-funded human papillomavirus (HPV) campaigns in Sweden. The author shows that they include and articulate a range of different forms of care that are not limited to just asking people to “take care of themselves” or “care for others”. Care is instead approached as a multilayered, contextual and contingent phenomenon, and as made by a heterogeneity of human and nonhuman components. The study shows how care is articulated by human actors such as county council professionals who try to communicate care to girls and their relatives, and by material devices like an “HPV app”, a Facebook campaign site and a vaccination trailer which enable, distribute and trouble different forms of care. Campaign devices and campaign media, interviews, and textual cancer narratives are analyzed using a feminist science and technology studies (STS) approach. The study is situated within feminist STS discussions on the politics of care in technoscience, and contributes to discussions on temporal dimensions of care. In the campaign material the study examines, there is a dominant focus on care as something that needs to be done now to enable a healthy and happy future. By working with an ethico-political and analytical standpoint that is focused on making present neglected, marginal, absent and alternative matters of care, the author disrupts and troubles such future-oriented visions of care as an “anticipatory immediacy” through a focus on other temporalities of care. These include slower, messier and folded temporalities which open up for uncertainties, hesitations, indeterminacies, a range of feelings, and for more caring articulations of what care is.

Este estudo investiga o envolvimento do córtex pré-frontal medial ventral nos comportamentos de defesa inatos e aprendidos em paradigmas de condicionamento de medo e estimulação elétrica intracraniana em ratos. A lesão cortical aumentou significativamente o comportamento defensivo condicionado. No comportamento defensivo incondicionado, a lesão cortical diminuiu significativamente o congelamento pós-fuga dos animais. Os resultados replicam os dados da literatura científica a respeito do papel do córtex infralímbico como uma estrutura inibitória do estímulo condicionado em um circuito amidaloide de medo condicionado, e indicam uma participação do córtex pré-frontal na modulação dos comportamentos de defesa originários da estimulação da MCPd, em especial a sustentação do congelamento motor pós fuga.
This study investigates the role of the prefrontal cortex in the innate and conditioned defensive behaviors in rats during classical conditioning and intracranial electrical stimulation procedurals. It was found that the cortical lesion augmented the conditioned freezing behavior to contextual fear cues. On the other hand, the lesions impaired the motor freezing presented after the escaping provoked by dPAG stimulation. These results replicate the findings from the literature about a prefrontal cortex role as an inhibitory structure in the aversive classic conditioning circuitry, as well as presenting a role for it in modulating freezing behavior in a panic circuitry involving the dPAG, especially regarding its function as a possible short term memory device for innate fear expression.

Full textThe family business is widely considered the dominant property structure around the world and the research on this field has increased rapidly in the last decades to understand whether and in which aspects family firms differ from other organizations. Despite this convergence, the actual body of research on family firms is populated by conflicting theories and findings, especially on the relationship with financial performance. On the other hand, few studies focus their attention on which strategic choices may explain the financial differences between family firms and non-family peers. Starting from this research gap, we think that both positive and negative aspects may coexist in family firms, and it would be difficult to identify which predominate without considering how family principals frame strategic decisions. In our thesis, we try to disentangle the effect of family ownership on firm performance focusing on three main aspects of firm strategy: the level of strategic conformity through the creation of a composite index (in which we incorporated six items that can be considered as key determinants of the business strategy), the departure of the internationalization process through foreign direct investments (FDI), and the implications of acquisition strategies.
