Full textAbstract:
The purpose of these two studies was to examine two factors that may influence the effects of uncertainty on information processing. The first factor is the positioning of uncertainty relative to a target of judgment, and how this affects people’s judgment processing. The second factor had to do with the degree to which uncertainty signals active goal conflict or not. In the first study, 145 participants with a mean age of 19.51 were induced with uncertainty either before or after information about the target accused of illegal behavior. The results demonstrated that uncertainty before information produced higher guilt judgments of the target and uncertainty after information produced lower guilt judgments towards the target, but only in a subset of conditions. The second study, with 121 participants and a mean age was 19.58, primed participants with one of two different goals. It then induced uncertainty threat which either was or was not relevant to the primed goal, and asked participants to make judgments based on information given about the target as in Study 1. The results revealed that for women, but not for men, uncertainty threat produced stronger guilt judgments when the uncertainty was relevant to the primed goal. Together, these results indicate that both the positioning and goal relevance of uncertainty may impact its effect on information processing.

Full textAbstract:
The present study examined social information processing in a sample of teenagers with various comorbid neurodevelopmental disabilities and typically developing controls. Crick and Dodge’s (1996) model of social information processing was used as the theoretical framework for the current study. Specifically, emotion recognition of self and others, attribution biases, and outcome expectations were measured in adolescents with and without a neurodevelopmental disability. Performance on these social measures was compared to caregiver ratings of social skills, and was also compared across diagnostic groups. 52 adolescents with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and/or learning disability participated in the current study, as well as 51 typically developing control participants. Analyses showed that individuals with any neurodevelopmental disability were less accurate at recognizing sadness in others and at identifying their own feelings and emotions. An interaction between participant group and sex was found, such that females with a neurodevelopmental disability were most likely to report feeling badly after acting aggressively and reported that acting aggressively would be difficult, but that they believed aggression would result in a successful social outcome. Males with a neurodevelopmental disability believed the opposite, that acting aggressively would be socially unsuccessful, but that they would feel good about themselves and that acting aggressively would be easy. Additionally, caregiver ratings of social skills were positively related to participants’ abilities to identify their own feelings, and negatively related to participants’ ratings of the ease of aggressive social encounters. Interestingly, although diagnostic group differences were predicted on these measures, few were found. This research has implications for clinical and educational work with individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities. First, individuals with any neurodevelopmental disability appeared to have similar social impairments, suggesting that deficits may be related to the presence of any diagnosis, rather than one in particular. Analysis of the steps of social information processing in this population is useful for teachers and clinicians when trying to plan social skills interventions.

Wir untersuchten die Verarbeitung sozial relevanter visueller Reize während “continuous flash suppression” (CFS), einer besonders wirkungsvollen Technik der interokularen Unterdrückung, die benutzt wird um Reize unsichtbar zu machen. In den Studien 1–6 maßen wir die Dauer der perzeptuellen Unterdrückung während CFS um zu testen, ob sozial relevante Reize bevorzugten Zugang zum visuellen Bewusstsein haben. Studie 1 zeigte, dass die Detektion von Gesichtern bei Erwachsenen durch Gesichtsmerkmale beeinflusst wird, welche auch Blickpräferenzen von Neugeborenen beeinflussen. Studie 2 zeigte, dass Gesichtsdetektion durch die Ethnie und Altersgruppe des zu detektierenden Gesichtes beeinflusst wird. In Studie 3 fanden wir größere Effekte der Inversion auf die Detektion von menschlichen Gesichtern und Körpern als auf andere vertraute Objekte. In Studie 4 fanden wir, dass Gesichter mit direktem Blick schneller detektiert werden als Gesichter mit abgewandtem Blick. Studie 5 deckte einen konfundieren Faktor in schematischen emotionalen Gesichtern auf. In Studie 6 fanden wir, dass die schnellere Detektion von furchtsamen im Vergleich zu neutralen Gesichtern auf hohen Raumfrequenzen beruht. Studie 7 zeigte, dass die Messung der visuellen Detektion während CFS keinen eindeutigen Nachweis für unbewusste Verarbeitung unter CFS erbringen kann. In den Studien 8 und 9 maßen wir deshalb Adaptations-Nacheffekte von Reizen, die durch CFS dauerhaft unsichtbar gemacht wurden. Studie 8 zeigte, dass lediglich monokulare Komponenten der Gesichtsform-Adaptation unbewusst ablaufen können, während komplexere Komponenten auf visuelles Bewusstsein angewiesen sind. Studie 9 zeigte, dass nur größenabhängige Komponenten von Blickrichtungen unbewusst repräsentiert werden können, während objektzentrierte Repräsentationen von Blickrichtungen visuelles Bewusstsein benötigen.We studied the processing of socially relevant visual stimuli during continuous flash suppression (CFS), a potent interocular suppression technique that we used to render stimuli invisible. In Studies 1–6, we measured the duration of perceptual suppression during CFS to test whether socially relevant stimuli have privileged access to visual awareness. Study 1 demonstrated that face detection in adult observers is modulated by facial properties previously shown to modulate looking preferences in newborns. Study 2 revealed own-race and own-age biases in face detection, indicating that visual awareness of faces is shaped by visual experience with one’s own social group. In Study 3, we found larger effects of stimulus inversion on the detection of human faces and bodies than for other familiar objects, suggesting that detection mechanisms are preferentially tuned to conspecifics. Study 4 showed that faces with direct gaze are detected more quickly than faces with averted gaze. Study 5 revealed a confounding factor in schematic emotional faces that are considered to be well-controlled visual stimuli. In Study 6, we found that faster detection of fearful compared to neutral faces relies on high spatial frequencies, arguing against a functional role of a subcortical pathway to the amygdala. Study 7 showed that measures of visual detection during CFS cannot provide unequivocal evidence for unconscious processing under CFS. In Studies 8 and 9 we therefore measured adaptation aftereffects from stimuli rendered permanently invisible by CFS. In Study 8, we measured face shape aftereffects and found that only low-level monocular components of face shape adaptation can proceed unconsciously, whereas higher-level components depend on visual awareness. Study 9 revealed that only size-dependent low-level components of eye gaze can be represented unconsciously, while object-centered higher-level representations of eye gaze directions require visual awareness.

Full textAbstract:
While both social information processing and cortisol secretion in childhood aggression have generated a great deal of interest and research in the past few decades, these social-cognitive and physiological components of aggressive behavior have not been examined in the context of an integrative model. This lack of an integrative framework may underlie some of the inconsistencies that have plagued the literature in this area to date, especially with respect to hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis functioning in aggressive children. This investigation tested a mediational model of the relationship between social-information processing, cortisol secretion, and reactive and proactive aggression. Specifically, it was hypothesized that social-information processing variables would mediate the proposed relationship between reactive and proactive aggression and cortisol secretion. One hundred and twenty-six children between the ages of 13 and 18 were administered the Child Behavior Rating Form (CBR), the Home Interview with Child (HIC), the Response Decision and Social Goals Instrument (RDSGI), the Antisocial Processes Screening Device (APSD), the Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory (BDHI), the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI), and the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale (RCMAS). Each child also contributed two samples of saliva for cortisol assay, and each child's teacher completed a teacher-version of the APSD and the CBR. Regression analyses revealed no significant associations between proactive or reactive aggression and cortisol secretion, or between any of the social-information processing variables and cortisol secretion. Predicted associations between proactive and reactive aggression and social-information processing variables were found. Overall, therefore, the mediational model was not supported. However, cortisol secretion was found to be associated with both anxiety and depression, and exploratory analyses revealed significant associations between cortisol secretion and Psychopathy as measured by the APSD. Taken together, the findings suggest that while the specific relationship proposed here among social-cognitive, psychophysiological, and behavioral variables was not found, an integrative model examining each of these components may be useful in further investigations of the complex phenomenon of childhood aggression.Ph.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, considerable attention has been given to a social information processing model as a means of understanding interaction patterns in children. Within the framework of that model, systematic biases have been found in the manner in which aggressive children process social information. The present study sought to extend that literature by applying the model to younger children, by examining the processing of withdrawn, as well as aggressive, children, and by employing traditional affect recognition tasks as the stimuli.
Sixty preschool children were nominated by their classroom teachers as either aggressive, withdrawn, or well adjusted, according to their predominant interaction style. The children were then tested, using a set of affect recognition tasks which assessed stimulus encoding and interpretation. Stimuli consisted of facial expression photos and context stories portraying one of four emotions (Happy, Sad, Mad, or Neutral). The hypotheses of the study predicted systematic biases in stimulus encoding and interpretation, consistent with the subjects’ behavioral style.
Analyses failed to support the hypotheses in that the groups failed to show identifiable systematic biases. Exploratory analyses revealed that subgroups of subjects demonstrated such biases, but those biases were related only to level of developmental maturity. The discussion of the findings explored issues which may have led to the negative results. Further research directions were also discussed which will help to clarify the questions raised by the present study.Ph. D.

PsychologyPh.D.
Changes in social information processing that occur during adolescence are thought to rely on the functional and structural maturation of a network of interconnected brain regions referred to as “the social brain.” The morphology of these brain regions, individually, is thought to be associated with functional specialization and/or ability, but little is known about the relationship between the morphology of the network and its functional specialization. Studies suggest that repeatedly executed psychological processes are not only reflected in functional networks, but may also be related to coordinated morphological changes in the brain across multiple regions that are functionally and structurally connected. The present study sought to explore changes in neuromorphological covariation that occur in the social brain network between adolescence and adulthood (Aim 1), using magnetic resonance imaging and graph theory, and link the properties of this covariance to self-reported and behavioral aspects of social information processing, specifically resistance to peer influence (Aim 2.1), rejection sensitivity (Aim 2.2), and the control of automatic reactions to socially relevant stimuli (Aim 2.3). The specificity of these results to social stimuli was assessed by also analyzing covariance properties in relation to a non-social measure of cognitive functioning (Aim 2.4). Subjects were 217 healthy right-handed individuals between the ages of 13 and 25 – 77 adolescents (ages 13-17), 73 young adults (ages 18-21), and 67 adults (ages 22-25). Analyses involved extracting cortical thickness values for the social brain network for each subject, and conducting group-level graph theoretic analyses. Results suggest that older subjects, subjects who are less sensitive to social stimuli and those who perform better on a behavioral inhibition task, all share one characteristic: the density of covariance in the structural social brain network is low compared to individuals who are younger, more sensitive to social stimuli, and who perform worse on a behavioral inhibition task. Furthermore, this pattern was not observed in a non-social measure of cognitive functioning, suggesting a level of specificity to social information processing in the reported findings. By suggesting that selective structural covariance in the social brain may be characteristic of maturity but also more adaptive in social contexts, the findings from the present study contribute to the idea that adolescence is a time of great opportunity for shaping the brain's structural architecture.

Full textAbstract:
As social media keeps expanding and alternatives for existing services arise, the need for engaging and sustaining users increases as well. One method for engaging users is the use of gamification.
The purpose of this study was to found a basis of knowledge of the current state of gamification social media. The study was conducted as qualitative content analysis, analysing 18 social media sites of different types. The analysis concentrated on the game elements incorporated in the services, such as points and badges.
The findings of the study resulted that social media in general employs many different game elements. Gamification is used to suggest activities to the users, to encourage active participation and to reward users for wanted behavior. A common use of gamification in social media was found to be quality and appeal control over user-generated content.

The purpose of this study was to examine patterns of development and gender in first- through fifth-grade children's (N = 514) social information processing, as well as the role emotion plays in these patterns. Developmental patterns and goal selection have been relatively understudied in past social information processing literature. Videotaped ambiguous provocations were presented in which provocateur's emotion displays were manipulated (two each of happy, angry, and sad); children imagined being the provocateur's victim. Results revealed age and gender differences in children's goal selection and social problem-solving. Provocateur's emotion displays were also found to Influence goal selection and problem-solving in children, further supporting the role of emotion in social information processing.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to provide a clearer picture of how gamers view gaming as a social construct and how social interaction changes the gaming experience. Social interaction in games brings people together. Online games have been researched from many points of view. However, the research done from social perspective is relatively new and this is why I wanted to write my thesis from the social interaction perspective.
Games are created more and more social. Gaming culture has changed from single player games to games where gamers interact with the world and each other with the help of different technologies. Social contacts from games extend outside the game world. Social media and gaming communities in the internet bring people together to share their experiences and find company to play with. The world of online games is not just playing games. Gaming has become a way of life and a culture. Gamers converse in their own communities about games, gaming related affairs and everything else. Even though most conversations in the communities relate to games, gamers exchange a lot of information about themselves and things related to them.
The research utilizes scientific articles as a base for the theory and a questionnaire that has been distributed among Finnish gamers.

Full textAbstract:
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a life-long developmental disorder, which affects communication, social interaction, and flexible behaviour. Kanner’s and Asperger’s original descriptions suggested a hidden intelligence in Autism, reflected in islets of ability. However, for more than three decades it has been documented that ASD has a strong association with Intellectual Disability (ID) and low measured IQ: a high percentage of cases of ASD have intellectual disability, and risk of ASD increases with reduced IQ. The current study aimed to investigate the underlying cognitive potential in ASD, using a simple measure of processing efficiency. The thesis reports studies testing the notion that learning and acquisition of skills is hampered by poor social insight in ASD, which curtails ordinary social learning mechanisms. This general framework further predicts that the basic processing mechanism is not impaired in ASD, and that learning will proceed more efficiently through non-social than through social routes. The Inspection Time (IT) task was used to assess processing efficiency and speed of processing, free of social demands. ITs were predicted to be significantly better than expected from standard IQ in children with ASD and ID, but not in those with ID alone. A novel photograph version of a well-known receptive vocabulary test was developed, predicting that this less socio-communicative version would specifically aid children with ASD, compared to the traditional line drawing format (which may be more determined by the author’s own interpretation and/or drawing ability). Finally, learning in novel social and non-social odd-one-out tasks was tested in children with ID with and without ASD. Learning performance was examined in relation to performance on standard IQ tests, IT, Theory of Mind, and report of everyday life skills and deficits. Results showed that ASD individuals outperformed ID individuals in the IT task despite matched IQ. However, IT did not predict better non-social learning than IQ did. Implications of these results and future directions are further discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Violent behaviors among adolescents serve as a disruption to many aspects of society. If these behaviors remain uncorrected, there is increased potential for serious self-harm, harm to others, incarceration, and escalation of violence into homicide or suicide. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between youth exposure to community violence and adolescents' social information processing underlying aggressive responses, as well as the potential role of gender in moderating this relationship. A sample of 160 male and female 18-year-olds from the Midwestern United States completed an online survey, which included the Things I Have Seen and Heard (TISH) Scale to assess exposure to community violence and a measure of aggressive responding to ambiguous social situations, based on 4 vignettes devised by Crick and Dodge. The data were analyzed using moderated multiple regression analysis and correlational analysis. Results indicated that a relationship between community violence exposure and adolescents' social information processing of aggressive responses is moderated by gender; there was a significant correlation between TISH scores and the total score from the vignettes among females but not among males. The study results suggest that school-based interventions and violence prevention programs should target the ways in which adolescent girls and young women make decisions when placed in ambiguous or potentially threatening situations, with reference to the level of community violence to which they have been exposed. Hence, this study has implications for positive social change to break the cycle of community violence, based upon enhancing the understanding of mechanisms that relate previous exposure to violence and aggressive responding among youth.

Full textAbstract:
Children with poor social adjustment are at risk for a number of maladaptive outcomes in adolescence and adulthood, such as psychopathology, conduct problems, and substance abuse. Social information processing (SIP) theory consists of six distinct but interrelated steps through which individuals process and respond to incoming social information. The ability of individuals to accurately process social information at all six steps has been used to predict aspects of social adjustment such as aggression and social skills. Similarly, the ability of individuals to accurately process and recognize facial expressions of emotion has also been used to predict social adjustment. However, despite the presence of facial expressions as an important piece of social information, no researchers have attempted to examine the specific role of expression recognition in social information processing, or to determine whether or not expression recognition ability may contribute to the predictive power of the SIP model. The goal of the current study is to demonstrate that expression recognition is an integral yet overlooked aspect of SIP, specifically of the first two steps of processing, encoding, and interpretation of cues. Seventy-four elementary school students in grades three and four participated in this study. Verbal and nonverbal measures of encoding were used, as well as an attribution task to measure children’s ability to interpret cues. Participants completed measures of expression recognition accuracy and cognitive ability, and teachers were asked to respond to standardized questionnaires regarding the social skills and aggressive behaviour of participating students. Children who were accurate at recognizing facial expressions were also more accurate at processing social information. However, after accounting for the variance explained by age, ethnic group, and cognitive ability, expression recognition did not account for a significant amount of variance in teacher reporLes enfants éprouvant des difficultés au plan de l’ajustement social présentent un risque élevé de vivre des problèmes d’ajustement à l’adolescence et à l’âge adulte, notamment la psychopathologie, les difficultés de conduite, et l’abus de substances. La théorie du traitement de l’information sociale (social information processing theory – SIP) inclue six étapes associées mais distinctes au fil desquelles les individus traitent et répondent à l’information sociale leur étant présentée. L’habileté des individus à correctement traiter l’information sociale à chacune des six étapes du modèle SIP a été utilisée comme prédicteur de divers aspects de l’ajustement social, incluant l’agressivité et les habiletés sociales. De la même façon, l’habileté des individus à correctement traiter et reconnaître les expressions faciales de diverses émotions a également été utilisée comme prédicteur de l’ajustement social. Toutefois, malgré l’importance des expressions faciales en tant que source d’information sociale, les chercheurs n’ont pas tenté d’examiner le rôle spécifique de la reconnaissance des expressions faciales dans le traitement de l’information sociale, ou de déterminer si l’habileté à reconnaître les expressions faciales contribue au pouvoir prédicteur du modèle SIP.

Full textAbstract:
In the last decade, without any doubt, social media i.e. social network platforms that are mainly created in order to interact with each other such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google +, Tumblr, Instagram, Flickr, Myspace, Blogs, YouTube, or any user generated content websites gained huge access in public daily life including individuals and organizations. These social network platforms, especially Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, were grown in such fast pace manner that even the big companies including Microsoft, Google, etc. has changed their strategies, and adapted social network platforms very well. That was the time when people, and small organizations who did not have platform for user generated content, had to pay fee to upload their content over Internet. Most of small companies were using privately purchased platform to distribute and share their content; whereas, individuals were limited to post their contents; Emails & IMs were used frequently to share their text, pictures, videos, etc.
By the year 2004, freely/ free social network platforms became so common/easy to use and were hugely successful. Platforms were able to provide users to share content quite easily. Small businesses started using social network to promote their business. Veterans were easily connected with their users & followers to provide help & information they are looking for. Upon such rapid growth of these social media platforms; benefits, rewards & opportunities are uncountable, however, it also came with risks and security issues.
This research is limited, however it provides valuable information presented in scientific articles in digital libraries. There was total of 214 articles found related to research topic. By refining results, number of articles were reduced to 30 which were selected for actual research using SLR steps.
The results were summarized in tabular format and answers the research question in discussion chapter which can be helpful to existing social network platforms, their operators and users.

Full textAbstract:
The rapid development of Internet technologies and pervasive spread of social media in the last decade have led to a tremendous growth of interest in customer engagement (CE). Nowadays, social media significantly enrich and facilitate marketing communications and enable brands to get closer to their customers, serve them and engage as never before. At the same time, social media allow customers to be active and often to play a leading role in their relationships with brands. CE in social media is a complex and challenging task, which requires companies to have a clear vision of motivational drivers that lead customers toward engagement with brands. Moreover, the development and implementation of effective customer engagement strategies in practice is difficult without an understanding of how social media influence customers’ attitudes and behaviors.
This research identified and analyzed fourteen key customer engagement drivers (KCEDs) in social media. Additionally, a new conceptual framework for KCEDs was developed. The framework presents gratification and positive emotions; utilitarian; and social groups of drivers that take place in the brand-to-customer and customer-to-customer contexts. The proposed framework is aimed at enhancing the understanding of online CE and its motivational origins as well as providing the foundation that facilitates designing effective CE strategies in social media.
In addition to a review of marketing and persuasive technology academic literature, twelve interviews with marketing and communication professionals were conducted in order to provide an empirical insight into the phenomenon of CE in social media. The findings of the empirical part indicate that a thorough analysis of the persuasion context helps companies in selecting the proper social media channels for CE activities; designing an appropriate persuasion message; and determining a suitable route of persuasion depends on the industry of a brand, the type of marketing relationship, and the target audience. The findings prove that customers consider social media as trustworthy sources of brand-related information and highly value their openness. Also, the empirical results verify the reliability of the theoretical finding and demonstrate that effectiveness of KCEDs in social media may vary in different countries.

Full textAbstract:
Business process reengineering (BPR) has been discussed over 20 years. Nowadays, social media is widely used by companies in doing business. It plays the role to influence business processes. This thesis aims to answer the question: “How does social media change the major business processes?” The prior research in the disciplines of BPR and social media is reviewed first. Based on the literature, a framework used to illustrate the influence of social media on business processes and degrees is developed. In the framework, four types of communication (firm-to-customer communication, customer-to-firm communication, internal-firm communication, and customer-to-customer communication) are discussed in four main business processes (marketing/sales, services, product, and personnel.) Finnair, because of its activity of using social media, is introduced in detail as an example. The story of Finnair using social media supports the framework. The relationship between BPR and social media is found that is medium.

Full textAbstract:
Group commitments such as partisanship and religion can bias the way individuals seek information and weigh evidence. This psychological process can lead to distorted views of reality and polarization between opposing social groups. Substantial research confirms the existence and persistence of numerous identity-driven divides in society, but means of attenuating them remain elusive. However, because identity-protective cognition is driven by a need to maintain global and not domain specific integrity, researchers have found that affirming an unrelated core aspect of the self can eliminate the need for ego defense and result in more evenhanded evaluation. This study proposes a competing intervention. Individuals possess numerous social identities that contextually vary in relative prominence; therefore a different means to unbiased cognition may be to make many social identities salient simultaneously, reducing influence of any potentially threatened identity. This may also reduce selective exposure to congenial information, which has not been found with affirmation. This study also advances research on the phenomenon of selective exposure by considering individuals’ interpersonal networks in information search. Because networks are not static, and are instead contextually activated, inducing a more complex representational structure of the self may broaden the set of contacts from whom individuals seek information. The bias-mitigative potential of self-affirmation and social identity complexity is examined here in a series of dispute contexts — two partisan, one religious — over a mining spill, an advanced biofuels mandate, and gene editing technology. Results from the three experiments (total N = 1,257) show modest support for social identity complexity reducing group-alignment of beliefs, behavior, and information search, while affirmation failed to reduce, and in some cases increased, group alignment.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated various aspects of the Social Information Processing Model, in particular, young children’s emotional behavior regulation and negative emotionality, in Hong Kong. The sample was N=628 from 12 schools. Using Rasch measurement, linear unidimensional scales were constructed for Emotion and Behaviour Regulation (10 items) and for Negative Emotionality (10 items). The well-known Short Temperament Scale was Rasch analyzed too, but a linear scale could not be created – it had initially been designed under the True Score Test theory paradigm. The children were divided into Type A (high on negative emotionality and low on emotion and behavior regulation, N=27 and Type B (low on negative emotionality and high on emotion and behavior regulation, N=31). The children’s teachers were given conflict situations and asked to state what strategies the Type A and Type B children would adopt in each conflict situation. The first conflict situation was about the child who was being accidentally pushed by a peer. The second conflict situation was about the child who is being excluded from a game that has enough participants. The third conflict situation was about the child being called “a baby” because he/she was playing with baby toys. The fourth conflict situation was about a peer criticizing and putting marks on a child’s picture. The fifth situation was about a peer pushing ahead and taking a toy that a child has been waiting for a long time. The Type A and Type B children were also asked to state what strategies they would adopt in each conflict situation. When the teachers’ views were compared to the children’s views, it was clear that the teachers did not know their children’s thought processes very well. For both Type A and Type B children, Rasch analysis was used to create a calm/angry scale and a sad/happy scale. Conflict situation two (being excluded from a game) is very hard on the calm/angry scale and both Type A and Type B children need to have a very high angry measure to answer this item positively. Conflict situation two is moderately easy on the sad/happy scale and both Type A and Type B children need only a low sad measure to answer conflict situation two positively. In contrast, conflict situation three (being called a “baby”) is very hard on the sad/happy scale and both Type A and Type B children need to have a very high happy measure to answer this item positively. Conflict situation three is moderately easy on the calm/angry scale and both Type A and Type B children need only a low calm measure to answer conflict situation three positively. The present study gave strong support for the Social Information Processing Model and for the inclusion of emotion and behavior regulation and negative emotionality in the revised model. The study rejected the Short Temperament Scale as it did not produce a linear, unidimensional scale, and it showed that teachers do not know their children, in terms of strategies selection in common social conflict situations, as well as they think that they do. Children are much more conscious of the variety of strategies that can be used in common conflict situations than teachers would normally give them credit. Results indicate that levels of anger aroused in Type A children are associated with differences in the quality of strategies that they are able to generate for solving social problems. Type A and Type B children differ significantly in their choice of best strategy under different emotional conditions for the different conflict situations.

Full textAbstract:
Social media systems like Facebook and Twitter have experienced exponential growth in their user base as they fulfill basic human desires of communication, sharing of opinions, thoughts and intentions. Plus they also act as source of news and a place to network and meet interesting people who would otherwise be unreachable. Social media systems have thus become important tools for dissemination of information and addressing peoples’ information needs and as they are user driven and interactions are mainly over user-generated content, they provide useful features for supporting conversations which are the essence of such systems.
This research is a conceptual analysis of how social media systems have been modeled to influence. The aim is to discern how the design choices made during development have enabled the growth of such systems and their prevalent influence on user interactions. The theoretical basis of the research is a persuasive context which describes how interactive computing systems have an impact on users’ thoughts and consequently lead to a change in their behavior. The study focuses on the architectures of Facebook, Twitter, Yammer and Foursquare to date among the most common social media systems serving different user needs while essentially encouraging conversations in a collaborative environment. The architectures of these systems mainly developed using open source software have undergone numerous changes in order to be able handle enormous amounts of user-generated data in real time and at the same time also be secure and respond to the user’s needs.
Taking these factors into consideration, this research through review of literature, provides further insights into the use of social media systems and how their inherent design choices provide a platform to influence both user actions and interactions by: (i) contrasting between various social media systems, (ii) detailing the features that facilitate influence, (iii) analyzing the architectures of four social media systems, and (iv) analyzing the persuasion context and the resultant effects.
The research is limited by the choice of the four systems for analysis and its conceptual nature which could not provide adequate opportunities for discerning key contextual issues like location, category and knowledge of users and so forth. This could be extended by empirical studies that are longitudinal in nature and use of data mining and/or social network analysis to discern the relationships and discussions with the respective systems.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of Living Lab has gained attention as a user-centered approach in ICT development, especially when talking about the innovation creation. Nowadays, social network has become part of the daily life for many people to share news, pictures, and stories. The earlier researches mostly see Living Lab as an approach for innovation with the supporting of social media in terms of user involvement.
Considering the challenges of user commitment into the online Living Lab communities, and the insufficiency of social network approach, this paper is aiming to provide a guide for the development and improvement of online Living Lab community, with answering the research questions of the online Living Lab community characteristics towards social web, and the primary requirements of establishing such online community.
The main research methodology applied in this paper is based on grounded theory. Through the case study of PATIO, the data was collected via various sources including user motivation survey, user modelling interview, participant-observation as system administrator, and utilizing of existing organizational documents. As the outcomes of the research, based on the personas and the scenarios generated through user interviews, the requirements of developing online Living Lab community were defined, which also served as the fundamental of the framework establishing.
This research contributes to the Living Lab with the further analysis of the online community from different stakeholders’ points of view. The online Living Lab community framework associating with the characteristics social web, provides an overall picture of the whole Living Lab environment. This online community serves as a platform, which is targeting to the user-centered products and services testing in real-life contexts. The study in this paper has put more emphasis on the roles of end users and system administrator. Therefore, the direction for future research could be focusing on the needs and benefits to customers (e.g. SMEs) and researchers. In addition, the technologies for the system implementation (e.g. platform choosing, web 3.0) also have the needs to be further studied.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine whether childrenâs internal working models predict their social information processing with their peers. Specifically, the study examined if the self representations, parent representations, and attachment themes of maltreated children predicted their attributions of intent or response generation. Participants were a sample of 65 maltreated children who were in preschool, kindergarten, or first grade at the time of the assessment. The MacArthur Story Stem Battery was used to assess childrenâs internal working models and the Home Interview with Children was used to assess social information processing. A number of significant correlations were found between childrenâs representations of themselves, their parents and their expressed attachment themes. Findings also indicated that only childrenâs positive self representations predicted their response generation, in that children who represented themselves positively had fewer aggressive responses. However, negative self representations, parent representations and attachment themes did not significantly predict attributions of intent or response generation.

Full textAbstract:
Many studies have investigated social networks. So far little work has been done to explore the virtual identity construction in social network communities. The virtual identity that an individual constructed in the social network community may not be exactly same as his/her identity in the physical world. Using self-discrepancy theory and social capital theory as theoretical foundations, this paper reports a qualitative study by interviewing members of communities (or large groups) on one of the largest social network platforms in the world: QQ. The results of this study suggest that some people do indeed construct a virtual identity different from their identity in the physical world. Findings from this study reveal the complexity of virtual identity re-construction and people’s motivations to do so in social network communities. Theoretical contributions and implications for practice are described.

Full textAbstract:
The apparent relationship between rejection from the peer group and future maladjustment, combined with the fact that peer rejection appears to be a relatively stable phenomenon (Coie & Dodge, 1983), has led to increasing concern about children who are experiencing peer relationship problems or who are socially rejected by their peers. Therefore, the social status of children deserves investigation to identify children
at risk. Three factors that have emerged as important predictors of social status for children in middle childhood are individual differences in social information processing, temperament and social behaviour. However, although early childhood may be a optimum period for implementation of intervention programs, little is known about the correlates of social status in early childhood. Additionally, relatively little research has
addressed the issue of sex differences in the factors that are associated with peer social status. The studies in this thesis were derived from a program of research focused on peer social status in early childhood. Specifically, the studies constitute an examination
of sex and social status differences in social information processing, temperament and social behaviour in a sample of preschool-aged children. The first study used peer informants to identify children's social status as a basis for subject classification for the subsequent research studies. One hundred and eighty-seven
preschool children (94 boys and 93 girls, mean age 62.4 months, SD = 4.22) were assigned to social status groups through a sociometric procedure involving a
combination of limited choice positive nominations and a three-point rating scale (Asher & Dodge, 1986). From this procedure five social status groups were constituted: popular (12 boys, 14 girls), rejected (13 boys, 11 girls), neglected (13 boys, 12 girls), controversial (7 boys, 4 girls) and average (13 boys, 22 girls) and an unclassified group of "others" (36 boys, 30 girls). These social status groups were subsequently used for
analysis of social status differences.
In the second study, sex and social status differences in social information processing were examined. Children took part in individual interviews in which they were asked to respond to hypothetical problematic social situations involving same and opposite sex
target peers. The situations consisted of intentional and ambiguous provocation situations, peer group entry and a situation that violated social expectations, such as sharing or taking turns. There were few social status differences in the competency of children's responses to the problematic social situations however, sex differences were evident both in the overall competency of children's responses and in the ways in which
they responded to same and opposite sex target peers. Overall, girls were more likely than boys to suggest prosocial responses while boys were more likely than girls to suggest aggressive or retaliatory responses. In response to provocation situations, boys
responded less competently to provocation by a boy target than they did to a girl target
while girls responded similarly to same and opposite sex target figures. In contrast, while boys responded similarly across target figures in social expectation and peer group entry situations, girls responded less competently to a girl target child than to a boy
target child in social expectation situations and less competently to a target group of boys
than to a target group of girls in peer group entry situations. The third study assessed sex and social status differences in temperament. Teachers
were asked to complete a 23 item Teacher Temperament Questionnaire (Keogh, Pullis & Cadwell, 1982) and data were analysed along the dimensions of Task Distractibility, Personal-Social Inflexibility, Reactivity and Threshold of Response. There were
significant sex differences in temperament. Specifically, teachers rated boys as more likely than girls to display Task Distractibility in terms of high distractibility, high activity and low persistence. Temperament also emerged as an important discriminator between social status groups in that rejected children were rated by their teachers as displaying a more "difficult" temperamental style than popular children in terms of high Task Distractibility and high Personal-Social Inflexibility. The relationship between temperamental characteristics and social status also differed for boys and girls. Specifically, while Task Distractibility, Personal-Social Inflexibility and Reactivity were
important predictors of rejected social status for girls, temperament did not predict rejected social status for boys. However, low Task Distractibility predicted popular
social status for boys while temperament did not predict popular social status for girls.
The fourth and fifth studies assessed children's social behaviour through teacher report and naturalistic observation. In the fourth study, teachers completed a 30 item questionnaire developed for this program of research which assessed aspects of prosocial behaviour, aggression, peer group entry and peer conflict. With respect to sex differences, teachers rated boys as more likely than girls to engage in aggressive behaviour, use aggressive and disruptive peer group entry strategies and use aggressive strategies when dealing with conflict. Results with respect to status differences indicated
that the most powerful discriminator between children in the rejected and neglected
groups and popular children was a lack of prosocial behaviour. The demonstration of cooperative play behaviour also emerged as the strongest predictor of popular social status for boys while low rates of cooperative play and prosocial behaviour predicted
rejected social status for girls. In the fifth study, rejected, neglected and popular children were observed for a total of 25 minutes over a three month period engaging in free play within their preschool centres. Popular children were observed to engage in cooperative
play, ongoing connected conversation and display positive affect while rejected and
neglected children spent more time alone, engaged in conversation less often and were
more likely to display neutral or negative affect.
The final study investigated the stability of social status over a six month period. Group differences in temperament and social behaviour between children with stable rejected, neglected and popular social status and children whose social status was less stable were
examined and profiles of children with stable rejected social status were described. The results indicated that preschool-aged children's social status classifications showed a moderate to high rate of stability for those children classified as popular, rejected and
neglected. Specifically, half the boys and over half the girls identified as rejected on the basis of peer nominations and a rating scale at the beginning of the year retained this classification six months later. Children who were stably rejected and neglected were
rated by their teachers as displaying higher Personal-Social Inflexibility and less
prosocial behaviour than those children who were more transiently rejected or neglected.
Children who retained popular social status over the six months of the study period were rated by their teachers as displaying lower Task Distractibility and more prosocial behaviour than children who were popular for a shorter period of time. Finally, four stably rejected children were selected and profiled in terms of their social problem solving strategies, teacher-rated temperament, teacher-rated social behaviour and
observed social behaviour. The profiles illustrate both typical and atypical rejected children in order to demonstrate the need for intervention programs to be informed by
observation of individual children and specifically tailored to the needs of each child. Overall, the results from the studies in this thesis suggest that although a lack of positive prosocial behaviours predicts a lack of peer acceptance in early childhood, the relationship between temperament, social behaviour and social status differs for boys and girls. Specifically, with respect to teacher-rated temperament, Task Distractibility,
Personal-Social Inflexibility and Reactivity appeared to be important predictors of rejected social status for girls but not for boys. Similarly, with respect to teacher-rated social behaviour, low rates of prosocial, cooperative behaviour, high rates of aggression,
use of aggressive or disruptive group entry strategies and infrequent use of direct group entry strategies predicted rejected social status for girls but not for boys. These differences appear to be related to gender specific styles of social functioning in that girls
spend more time in small group activities, in cooperative and tum-taking games and are more sensitive to the requirements of collaboration than boys (Dorsch & Keane, 1994; Jones & Glenn, 1991; Maccoby, 1988). The results of these studies are discussed in tenns of the implications for intervention programs and research into the peer
relationships of young children.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to provide companies guidance on how to adopt social media as a part of their marketing strategy and efforts. Social media has been making its way to being a crucial part of marketing communications for over a decade now and its importance has been steadily growing over the years. Marketers and managers have started to see the potential in the channel, and early research on the phenomenon has provided them with insight on how to use the channel properly.
With use of literature the author wants to show how companies can benefit from the use of social media in marketing, and what challenges they may face while implementing these changes. Along with possible benefits companies will face risks when engaging with social media. There are some key challenges arising from the literature that will be tackled and given guidance on how to counter them.

Full textAbstract:
Delphi technique is the structure communication process to collect and analyse the experts’ opinions with controlled feedback in an iterative manner to build consensus. Social media is an open and unstructured communication platform with flexibility to generate the contents at anytime from anywhere. Integration of the Delphi technique with social media provides an opportunity to utilize the social media users as experts and leverages the experts to participate in the Delphi communication process from anywhere and at anytime. The purpose of this research is to study the feasibility to integrate the Delphi technique with social media.
To examine the feasibility of integrating the Delphi technique with social media, the design science research method is chosen as a research approach. From the literature review of the Delphi technique and social media, the design guidelines were identified to develop the prototype system and to conduct the experiment as a proof of concept.
The university course feedback is selected as the context area to conduct the experiment with the prototype system. A pre survey is conducted to study the background information of technological knowledge of the participants and to know the opinions of the participants towards the context area. In the experiment, four questions were asked to the participants in each Delphi round to measure the group consensus and ideas convergence. The participants in the experiment were free to provide response to the questions from anywhere at any time using the Twitter account.
The results show that the experiment has been successful and the experts are able to make consensus on their opinions. In addition, this study also shows that the Delphi technique can be integrated with social media to build consensus. The results also support that Twitter may not be the ideal social media platform for such experiment. In the future studies, the design issues should be carefully considered for getting the better results.

Full textAbstract:
Based on interests and topics, different communities are created within social network platforms. Community members discuss questions, share information, and help others solve problems. Some social network communities are very successful and have attracted a lot of members, whereas other social network communities cannot sustain because members are not satisfied and leave. The current study investigates the factors associating with user’s satisfaction in the social network communities. Regulatory focus theory is used to frame the investigation. Based on regulatory focus theory, vanity, disinhibition, enjoyment, bridging social capital are proposed as promotion-focused goals, while privacy concern and risk aversion are categorised as prevention-focused goals. The research model is tested with the data collected from online questionnaire. Results suggest that individuals’ satisfaction increases when they feel disinhibited, obtain enjoyment, and gain bridging social capital in social network communities. The fulfilment of vanity is not regarded as a significant source of satisfaction in social network communities. This study has important contributions to literature and implications for practice.

Full textAbstract:
Social trust – one's opinion about the integrity, honesty, and fairness of others (GSS, Mutz (2005))– plays an important, yet not fully understood role in consumer behavior. This thesis contributes to the study of trust by comparing the effects of a high versus a low social trust mind-set on consumers' processing strategies of advertising claims and choice behavior. Results from four studies demonstrate that consumers with a low social trust mind-set think more analytically whereas consumers with a high social trust mind-set think more experientially. An additional study shows that consumers with a high social trust mind-set are more likely to choose new products, whereas consumers with a low social trust mind-set are more likely to choose status quo options. Specifically, consistent with Analytical Experiential Theory (S. Epstein, 1990), participants with a low-trust mind-set experienced greater fluency when processing objective advertising claims and performed better in the recognition tasks of these claims, whereas participants with a high-trust mind-set experienced greater fluency when processing subjective advertising claims and performed better in recognizing them. Moreover, I show that the effect of a social trust mind-set is independent of the effect of market place trust, which is predicted by the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM – (Petty & Cacioppo, 1986)). My comparison of the Analytical Experiential Theory with the ELM framework shows that while the latter is more suitable to address the effect of market place trust; the former is more suitable to address the effect of social trust. I further show that consumers with a high social trust mind-set are more likely to choose new products while consumers with a low social trust mind-set are more likely to choose status quo options. In addition, consumers' regulatory foci (E. Tory Higgins, 1997) are shown to mediate this effect. Based on these results, I develop the notion of stimulus-relevant and stimulus-irrelevant trust, discuss the critical differences between these constructs and suggest several avenues for future research. Major contributions of my thesis to marketing are the findings that consumers with a high social trust mind-set are more receptive to subjective advertising claims and prefer new products, whereas consumers with a low social trust mind-set are more receptive to objective advertising claims and prefer status quo options.La confiance sociale – son opinion quant à l'intégrité, l'honnêteté et l'équité des autres (GSS, Mutz 2005) – joue un rôle important, mais pas pleinement compris dans le comportement des consommateurs. Cette thèse contribue à l'étude de la confiance en comparant les effets d'un état d'esprit avec une confiance sociale élevée versus basse sur les stratégies de traitement des consommateurs des requêtes publicitaires et choix de comportement. Les résultats de quatre études démontrent que les consommateurs ayant un état d'esprit avec une confiance sociale basse pensent plus analytiquement alors que les consommateurs ayant un état d'esprit avec une confiance sociale élevée pensent plus expérimentalement. Une étude additionnelle démontre que les consommateurs ayant un état d'esprit avec une confiance sociale élevée sont plus enclins à choisir de nouveau produits, alors que les consommateurs ayant un état d'esprit avec une confiance sociale basse sont plus enclins à choisir les options statu quo. Plus précisément, cohérent avec l'«Analytical Experiential Theory» (Epstein 1990), les participants ayant un état d'esprit avec une confiance sociale basse ont expérimenté une plus grande aisance lorsque des requêtes publicitaires objectives sont traités et performent mieux dans la reconnaissance des tâches de cette requête, tandis que les participants ayant un état d'esprit avec une confiance élevée ont expérimenté une plus grande aisance lorsque des requêtes publicitaires subjectives sont traité et performent mieux à les reconnaitre. De plus, je démontre que l'effet d'un état d'esprit avec une confiance sociale est indépendant de l'effet de la confiance du marché, qui est prédit par l'«Elaboration Likelihood Model» (ELM – Petty and Cacippo 1986). Ma comparaison de l'«Analytical Experiential Theory» avec le system ELM montre que, pendant que le dernier est plus adéquat à adresser l'effet de la confiance du marché, le premier est plus approprié à adresser l'effet de la confiance sociale. Je démontre de plus que les consommateurs ayant un état d'esprit avec une confiance sociale élevée sont plus enclin à choisir de nouveaux produits alors que les consommateurs ayant un état d'esprit avec une confiance sociale basse sont plus sujet à choisir les options statu quo. En plus, il est démontré que les foyers régulateurs des consommateurs (Higgins 1997) négocient cet effet. Basé sur ces résultats, je développe la notion de confiance stimuli-pertinent et stimuli-impertinent, discute les différences critiques entre ces concepts et suggère quelques avenues pour la recherche future. Les contributions majeures de ma thèse au commerce sont les résultats que les consommateurs ayant un état d'esprit avec une confiance sociale élevée sont plus réceptif aux requêtes publicitaires subjective et préfèrent les nouveaux produits, alors que les consommateurs ayant un état d'esprit avec une confiance sociale basse sont plus réceptif aux requêtes de publicité objective et préfèrent les options statu quo.

Full textAbstract:
This study explored the relationship between anxiety and the social information processing (SIP) model. Children’s responses to several stages of the SIP model were assessed after children had undergone anxious mood induction procedures, and similarities and differences between anxious and aggressive children were examined. Furthermore, temperament and heritability were investigated in relation to anxiety and stages of the SIP model. Data were collected from 45 families within the Southern Illinois Twins/Triplets and Siblings Study (SITSS). Results showed that children’s anxiety was related to generating avoidant responses in one stage of the SIP model, whereas children’s aggression was not significantly associated with any SIP stage. Children’s worried and angry mood states predicted avoidant and aggressive responses, respectively. Temperament was not significantly related to anxiety or stages of the SIP model. Lastly, there was evidence of heritability for child-rated anxiety, but not for parent-rated anxiety or stages of the SIP model. Overall, this study provides important information about possible contributors to children’s maladaptive social behavior.
