“…This includes impairing their ability to independently select content, influencing their desires, distorting their true, practical identities, and limiting critical reflection [26]. The consequences of being addicted to SM, such as developing personal identity and image disorders [27], are more severe. Such addictions occur when individuals become dependent on seeking attention and validation, feeling a strong urge to conform to the social standards aggressively promoted on SM platforms.…”

“…These categories refer to ASNs as applied in new social communication (33), considering the author's evaluation as a reference point (16), and acknowledging that attitudes towards ASNs is the result of socialisation (19). Personal meaningfulness is attributed to ASNs' content that exhibits coherence of scientific and routine rationality (27) and sustained interest (35) per their knowledge value. Some subjectively necessary categories were identified that vary in their level of concern with academic cognition.…”

“…SM have the potential to translate more objective and transcendental understanding like contemporary ideals, values, and worldviews (9), and incorporate elements of religious and metaphysical knowledge in scientific knowledge (21). Some socially epistemological applications are also expressed, such as applying in new social communication (27) and acknowledging the interaction of the authors' cultural-historical research (14) in creating knowledge. SM offer a balance between other people's and one's own knowledge (34).…”

Academic social networks and social media have revolutionised the way individuals gather information and express themselves, particularly in academia, science, and research. Through the lens of academics, this study aims to investigate the epistemological and psychosocial aspects of these knowledge sources. The epistemological attitude model presented a framework to delve into and reflect upon the existence of knowledge sources, comprising subjective, interactional, and knowledge dimensions. One hundred and twenty-six university academics participated in this study, including lecturers and researchers from different higher education institutions in Latvia. The study employed two methods: the Epistemological Attitudes towards Sources of Knowledge Questionnaire and the Epistemological Attitudes towards Sources of Knowledge Semantic Questionnaire. The data analysis involved several procedures, including exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, and test statistics. By implementing these methods, the study gained valuable insights into the sources of knowledge, examining them from two perspectives. The first perspective brought attention to the differences in academics’ appraisals by discussing their understanding, approach, use, and valuations of these sources. By scrutinising the constructs of meanings, the second perspective sheds light on the anticipated knowledge which is deemed ideal, the concrete knowledge that is both social and objective, and the subjectively valuable nature of academic social networks and social media. The findings underscore the specialised knowledge and qualities that academics rely on for producing knowledge. In terms of epistemology, methodology, social science, and education, the study holds theoretical and practical implications, especially in comprehending knowledge and its sources.
