“…Several recent studies have also found that neuroticism is related to increased feelings of envy as a result of social comparisons activated by Facebook use (Chow & Wan, 2017;Wallace, James, & Warkentin, 2017). It is unclear if there is any interaction between neuroticism and user gender on Facebook use; gender was found to moderate the effect of neuroticism on number of Facebook friends and photos (Basak, Yasar, & Calisir, 2018), with emotionally stable females having more friends, and neuroticism being a stronger predictor among male than female users, but there has been no moderating impact of gender found on the effect of personality on Facebook use (El-Tah & Jaradat, 2018).…”

Passive Facebook use, which involves engaging in non-socially orientated behavior on the popular social networking site, is associated with a range of negative outcomes, including social anxiety, loneliness, jealousy, and depressed mood. Research indicates that passive Facebook use may also be related to a tendency to engage in social comparison with others. In addition, there is some evidence that this tendency is more prevalent in individuals high in the personality trait neuroticism. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between passive Facebook use, neuroticism, and social comparison orientation (SCO). In addition, we explored whether SCO mediates the potential relationship between neuroticism and passive Facebook use. In a cross-sectional study, 318 Estonian Facebook users completed the Multidimensional Scale of Facebook Use (to ascertain passive Facebook use), the Extra Short Big Five Personality Inventory, and the Iowa-Netherlands Comparison Orientation Scale. The results revealed positive bivariate-correlations between passive Facebook use, neuroticism, and SCO. In addition, SCO mediated the relationship between neuroticism and passive Facebook use. These findings suggest that people higher in neuroticism are more prone to social comparison, which is associated with passive Facebook use. These findings are discussed, and several directions for future research are provided.

“…This is acceptable for two reasons. The composite reliabilities are higher than 0.6 (Fornell & Larcker, 1981) and the study was conducted for the first time employing a new model (El-Tah & Jaradat, 2018;Lee, 2012;Ping, 2009). Hence, the measurement model is an acceptable fit to the data from the sample and the seven-factor model, and it is possible to identify the relations between each pair of constructs.…”

This study utilised students' online engagement, digital technology attitude, digital literacy, and self-efficacy theories to develop and test a model connecting these factors within a regional university in Australia. A field survey collected data from 110 first-year students. AMOS 28 was employed for measurement and structural model path analysis. The study initially examined the impact of students' attitudes and digital literacy on their self-efficacy. Subsequently, the effects of self-efficacy on five dimensions of online engagement were assessed: social, collaborative, cognitive, behavioural, and emotional. The findings indicated that positive student attitudes and digital literacy significantly contributed to self-efficacy, which, in turn, positively affected the engagement dimensions. This suggests that when designing and facilitating online, blended, or technology-enhanced courses in higher education, educators should pay attention to various elements of engagement. The study highlights the importance of considering students' attitudes and digital literacy in fostering self-efficacy and enhancing online learning engagements. Further research and implications for future studies are also recommended.
