“…In a study with university students, Aydın et al (2013) investigated the relationships of loneliness and shyness with the purposes of Facebook use and found a significant, positive relationship between shyness and Facebook use. However, Facebook only enables interaction based on authentic credentials, so for the sake of comfortably expressing emotions, it might be less preferred than SNS, such as Twitter, which allow individuals to hide their true identities.…”

This study was aimed at testing a model which applies structural equation modeling (SEM) to explain social networking sites (SNS) usage. Performing SEM with a sample of 500 high school students (40% male, 60% female), the model examined the relationships among shame, guilt and pride on SNS, such Facebook and Twitter. It was hypothesized that SNS usage was predicted directly by shame and indirectly by pride and guilt. The SEM showed that shame affected SNS usage directly and positively, while guilt and pride indirectly affected SNS via shame. The fit indices of SEM produced good fit values (χ2 = 0.11, df = 2, χ2/df = 0.055, p = 0.94532, RMSEA = 0.00, GFI = 1.00, AGFI = 1.00, NFI = 1.00, NNFI = 1.00, CFI = 1.00, IFI = 1.00, RMR = 0.039; SRMR = 0.0042). According to these results, high school students' feelings of shame, guilt and pride are important predictors of SNS usage.

“…In the same manner, respondents of Seto (2012) study revealed that they use Facebook because of boredom, out of habit, to read what others are doing, to share photos, and to look at pictures they are tagged in. Likewise, Aydın, Muyan, & Demir (2013) showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between shyness and following pictures, videos, status, comments on Facebook. The result means that when shyness increased, following FB pictures, videos, status, and comments will also increase.…”

“…The result means that when shyness increased, following FB pictures, videos, status, and comments will also increase. Number of Facebook friends, time spent on Facebook, and Facebook usage frequency should be taken as continuous variables (Aydın, Muyan, & Demir (2013). Most importantly, Carpenter (2012) identified the types of people who may build a socially disruptive atmosphere on Facebook.…”

The social media revolutionized the power of collaboration and networking. If overused and misused, it provides negative impacts among users. This paper presents the prevalence of self-promotional behaviors on Facebook among students in a university in the Philippines. A total of 106 college students were randomly selected as respondents of the study. An adapted survey questionnaire was used during analysis. The results show that the respondents promote their selves on Facebook every semester. Specifically, the result shows that the respondents update their status, post photographs of their selves and change profile pictures once a month. On the other hand, the respondents update their profile information, tag pictures of their selves and upload “selfie” pictures every semester. It is concluded that the students sometimes possess behaviors that tend to be tied to narcissism on Facebook.

“…Beberapa penelitian menunjukkan sisi baik dari kegunaan jejaring sosial tersebut, yaitu bahwa fitur mengobrol dan presentasi diri dapat mengurangi kesepian (Aydin, Muyan & Demir, 2012); meningkatkan dukungan sosial (Nabi, Prestin & SoJ, 2013) serta menjadi sebuah media untuk mengungkapkan perasaan atau curahan hati (Andangsari, Gumilar & Godwin, 2013). Dengan demikian, penemuan ini dapat dilihat sebagai disinhibition effect yang bermuatan positif.…”

This study examines the deservingness theory of envy over success stories post in the social media. The hypotheses are that there is a difference in; (1) the level of deservingness on posting stories of success gained through high effort (KUT) with success gained through low effort (KUR), (2) the level of envy over KUT and KUR posts, and (3) there is an influence of deservingness toward envy over KUT and KUR posts. A total of 214 undergraduate students became a subject of this research. The measurement of envy (y1) and deservingness (y2) over success post (x) used the scenario method. We used MANOVA-RM as the analysis technique to explore the envy and deservingness scores on KUT and KUR. MANCOVA-RM analysis was used to determine the effect of deservingness to envy. The findings suggest that envy increases when subjects are exposed to KUR post because of low deservingness.
