“…23 Ramirez and Broneck 24 also found that females are more likely to use instant messaging for maintaining relationships than males. Rosen et al 25 found that women share more photos on social-networking sites and spend more time maintaining those sites. This evidence suggests female students spend more time on mediated communication than male students for relationship maintenance, and suggests systematic differences in terms of social-network composition.…”

Social-networking sites like Facebook enable people to share a range of personal information with expansive groups of ''friends.'' With the growing popularity of media sharing online, many questions remain regarding antecedent conditions for this behavior. Contingencies of self-worth afford a more nuanced approach to variable traits that affect self-esteem, and may help explain online behavior. A total of 311 participants completed an online survey measuring such contingencies and typical behaviors on Facebook. First, exploratory factor analyses revealed an underlying structure to the seven dimensions of self-worth. Public-based contingencies explained online photo sharing (b ¼ 0.158, p < 0.01), while private-based contingencies demonstrated a negative relationship with time online (b ¼ À0.186, p < 0.001). Finally, the appearance contingency for self-worth had the strongest relationship with the intensity of online photo sharing (b ¼ 0.242), although no relationship was evident for time spent managing profiles.

“…Such activities may not inherently manifest in FtF friendship, however they do help students learn host national online communication patterns and behaviors. Research studies indicate that cultural differences exist in how individuals communicate online [74], specifically self-disclosure [75] [76]. Yildiz [77] suggests that due to language anxiety Chinese international students in the UK tended to self-disclose more in online contexts than in face-to-face situations.…”

The current study uses a longitudinal, mixed-method approach to investigate the role that new media, such as social networking sites and video chat, play in cross-cultural adaptation and international student friendship network development. Results indicate that international students significantly increase and adapt their new media use while abroad to communicate globally with their friends and family, and locally with their newly formed relationships. Furthermore, social networking site host national friends do not necessarily lead to the development of face-to-face host national friends; however, interaction with established face-to-face host national friends and friend groups via new media platforms leads to an increased understanding of host communication patterns. Finally, this study proposes that researchers who apply Kim's [1] cross-cultural adaptation theory consider incorporating Host New Media Communication as a principal concept.

“…More recently, research attention has shifted toward the use of CMC to support existing relationships, like weblogs and SNS (boyd 2007; Ellison et al 2007;Kim and Yun 2007;Lackaff et al 2009;Rosen et al 2010;Stefanone et al 2010a). The research on SNS reflects a shift in the way Internet users are afforded more ways to create and actively manage online content, often referred to as Web 2.0 (O'Reilly 2005).…”

“…Research interest in mediated social networks and SNS use has grown recently, with topics including the study of online social capital from a social support and resource access perspective (Ellison et al 2007;Lackaff et al 2009), communicative behaviors from a social-psychological perspective (Stefanone et al 2010a) and from a cultural perspective (Byrne 2007;Kim and Yun 2007;Rosen et al 2010), as related to media consumption (Stefanone et al 2010b), and for a global cooperation network (Roy Lafontaine et al 2010). …”

“…The appearance contingency for self-worth had the strongest relationship with the intensity of online photo sharing, although no relationship was evident for time spent managing profiles. Rosen et al (2010) examined the occurrence of culturally and gender influenced differences in online behavior, offline networks, and satisfaction. Results revealed that participants who identify with more individualistic cultural backgrounds have larger networks of friends on SNSs, have a greater proportion of these friends whom they had not actually met face to face (dubbed promiscuous friending by Stefanone et al 2008), share more photos online as opposed to participants who identify with less individualistic cultural backgrounds.…”
