“…Social media has been studied with a view to assessing its impact on collecting market information (Baur 2016), behavioural mining (Bulut and Dogan 2017;Manca et al 2015), analysing political developments (Boerman and Kruikemeier 2016;Lee et al 2015), cocreation (Cheung and To 2016;See-To and Ho 2014) and co-promotion (Zhou and Wang 2014). Like other technologies, social media can facilitate social change and changes in business practices.…”

Social media has emerged as a significant and effective means of assisting and endorsing activities and communications among peers, consumers and organizations that outdo the restrictions of time and space. While the previous studies acknowledge the role of agents of culture change, it largely remains silent on the role of social media in influencing acculturation outcomes and consumption choices. This study uses self-administered questionnaire to collect data from 514 Turkish-Dutch respondents and examines how their use of social media affects their acculturation and consumption choices. This research makes a significant contribution to consumer acculturation research by showing that social media is a vital means of culture change and a driver of acculturation strategies and consumption choices. This study is the first to investigate the role of social media as an agent of culture change in terms of how it impacts acculturation and consumption. The paper discusses implications for theory development and for practice.

“…Parliamentary institutions are more and more aware of the need to use social networks tools and about consolidating the informative work made therein within the changing mediatic dynamic . Moreover, the progression moves forward in a parallel manner with the increase of the incursion of social networks in the daily life of citizens (Bulut and Doğan, 2017) and with the acknowledgement of its relevance within the current games of politics (Bennett and Segerberg, 2012;Salzman, 2016). Also, the increase of the number of followers in all networks used by parliaments between 2015 and 2017 is noticeable, as well as a general trend to increase the presence of parliamentary activity in social networks.…”

“…Baek et al (2011) indicate that the most noticeable use of social networks is about processes related to the flow of information, while entertainment is positioned in second place (Alhabash et al, 2012;Ruano et al, 2016). In third place, its communicative function has been identified (Pempek et al, 2009;Bulut and Doğan, 2017) and, linked thereto, the fourth intention, related to the contents creation process (Chung et al, 2016). The socialization and looking for a social status have been identified by Martínez and Ferraz (2016) as a fifth motivation, and Sharma and Verba (2015) suggest the construction of relationships associated to specific motivations (such as social acceptance, expression, creation of identity) as the sixth reason for the use of networks.…”

“…Social networks -online platforms that exponentially integrated inside the daily routines of millions of users -have been defined as services based in web applications that allow the user to create a public or semipublic profile within a delimited system of interaction (Boyd and Ellison, 2008 studies have highlighted the use of networks by users and have identified (Bulut and Doğan, 2017) seven main motivations.

2010, 2015 and 2017, the text presents the evolution and the paths of the social media use of the selected parliaments. Results and conclusions: Results show a progression in the informative parliamentary use of social media, but they highlight few advances in the creation of deliberative or participative arenas in social platforms. The paper identifies parliamentary actions oriented to integrate the changing media ecosystem, linked to social media, but the institutional intention is limited to the presence and the impact inside the media framework, more than in the promotion of the social media mediated participation.

Background and AimsThe number of social media users is growing with each passing day at full tilt, keeping pace with digitalization and technological advances. Despite several advantages, there are also certain negative aspects to using social networking sites (SNS) for communication, amusement, self‐expression, impression management, and other purposes. This study sought to investigate the association between mental health status and flaunting behaviors in social media among the general population in Bangladesh.MethodsWe conducted this nationwide cross‐sectional online survey among 465 people aged between 18 and 60 between October 15, 2021 and January 15, 2022. Following electronic consent, we collected the socio‐demographic profiles and psychometric parameters of the respondents. Additionally, we assessed the diverse perspectives on SNS usage and its relationship to the self‐reported symptoms of depression and loneliness.ResultsThe estimated prevalence of loneliness and depressive symptoms were 65.16% (mild: 39.57%, moderate: 16.56%, severe: 9.03%) and 55.49% (mild: 26.67%, moderate: 22.15%, severe: 6.67%), respectively. Key factors associated with flaunting on social media were mental health issues such as depression and loneliness. Several social factors were also considered, such as being young, of the male sex, unmarried, illiterate, a student, urban dwelling, average economic status, nuclear family structure, types of SNSs, checking social media first in the morning, and the use of SNS for gaining popularity.ConclusionA significant portion of SNS users reported symptoms of mental illness. Current study findings urge for longitudinal studies with larger sample sizes to have a nearly equal distribution of users from each social media platform for in‐depth exploration of how user attitudes about SNSs and site usage patterns impact the general public's mental health. We suggest that regulating SNS usage patterns and treatment approaches would improve the situation.
