“…in Rosen et al, 2013). Other forms to measure Facebook use include assessment of Facebook activities and friends (e.g., Deters & Mehl, 2013;Moore & McElroy, 2012), number of times logging per day (e.g., Rosen et al, 2013b) and evaluation of time spent in the site per day (e.g., Karpinski, Kirschner, Ozer, Mellott, & Ochwo, 2013).…”

Measures on usage and attitudes towards ICT and social media are very diverse hindering the comparability of data. Due to its heavy use by young Portuguese, it is relevant to have comprehensive and accurate measurement tools.The main aims were to translate and adapt The Media and Technology Usage and Attitudes Scale (Rosen, Whaling, Carrier and Rokkum, 2013a) This psychometric study included an EFA conducted on a sample of 322 subjects aged between 12 and 18 years old (Mean age=14.78; SD= 2.04), being 59.3% girls. It also included a CFA on a sample of 479 subjects also aged between 12 and 18 years old (Mean age= 14.94; SD= 2.01), being 53% girls. The subjects were invited to participate voluntarily and the confidentiality of the data was assured.In EFA, for Usage, the PCA with a varimax rotation originated a solution with 10 factors explaining 73% of the total variance and for Attitudes a PCA forced to four factors with oblimin rotation resulted in 61% of total variation explained. The CFA presented acceptable adjustments to fit indices in Usage and Attitudes sub-scales.The MTUAS-PY scale has adequate psychometric qualities for assessing use and attitudes towards ICT and social media in Portuguese youth. Studies on different profiles throughout the youth and the comparison with behavioral data will further our understanding on a reality in constant technological change.

“…Self-controlled individuals mainly prefer direct-messaging in social networking sites and they strictly limit their personal information that can be seen by others (Muscanel and Gudagno, 2012). About the posts that they believe to be inappropriate, they significantly feel the remorse (Moore and McElroy, 2012). These individuals are seen to use social networking sites for academic purposes rather than spending free time and entertainment (McElroy, Hendrickson, Townsend and DeMarie 2007).…”

“…But, the tenderminded users of Facebook use it for explaining personal truths and communicating rather than drawing attention or gathering information (Seidman, 2013). Moreover, while these users avoid from sharing posts with others through Facebook, they share relatively more posts about themselves (Moore and McElroy, 2012). Although having personality trait of tendermindedness is not an important factor for having more friends in Facebook (Amichai, Hamburger and Vinitzky, 2010), it can be seen that the friends of these individuals send positive feedbacks for their posts (Wang et al, 2012).…”

“…Given the studies examining the relationship with use of Facebook, it can be seen that openness for improvement is both an important (Correa et al, 2010;Hughes et al, 2012;McElroy et al, 2007;Seidman, 2013) and unimportant (Moore and McElroy, 2012) factor for both the frequency of using Facebook. Considering from the contextual aspect, it can be seen that the individuals that are open to development do not significantly prefer messaging in Facebook but sending posts on the walls of others (Ross et al, 2009), sharing personal information and using Facebook for communicating with others (Amichai, Hamburger and Vinitzky, 2010).…”

“…Moreover, beginning with the diffusion of the informational communication technologies (ICTs) around the 1990s, a series of novel communication tools based on ICTs have penetrated into almost every corner of our life and become the essential avenues for us to access information, maintain social relations, and find something fun. Especially in recent years, the emergence of SNSs has greatly changed the pattern of communication and provided a new channel allowing people to be more flexible as they socialize and interact with each other (Moore & McElroy, 2012).…”

By integrating useful insights from social cognitive theory and social capital theory, we aim to develop a model for better understanding people's behaviors related to the use of social networking sites (SNSs) and formalize the role of social capital in individuals' continuous SNS use. Propositions that emphasize the triadic interactive relationships among environmental, personal, and behavioral factors were highlighted in this study.After reviewing previous studies, in this paper we proposed the following: (1) the causation between SNS use and individuals' perceived social capital might be mutual; social capital may not only be the result of media selectivity, but could also be an essential stimulus initiating the start of using SNSs; (2) the influences of SNSs use on the generation of individuals' online social capital might be conditional upon particular patterns of use; (3) both the level of dependence on SNSs and the differentiated patterns of SNSs use vary according to individuals' perceived offline social capital and their personal characteristics, for instance, personality or self-construal, and social anxiety.
