Abstract

Scholars of computer-mediated communication have long been interested in the way in which interpersonal impressions form among computer users. Early Internet research explored how people used text-based social information to form impressions of others. However, sociotechnological systems now allow users to present themselves in a variety of forms. The first study found that when textual and photographic cues were presented alone, the principle of textual primacy predicted results; however, Study 2 found when cues were presented together in the context of a Facebook profile, the data were consistent with a visual primacy—negativity perspective such that photographs more strongly influenced judgments of social orientation, and textual cues influenced social orientation judgments when accompanied by an introverted photograph.

  • Most studies on SNSs focus predominantly on its affordances for communication, such as impression management and formation, and not many have examined the darker side of SNSs use, particularly why adolescents use SNSs excessively and how addictive tendencies form.

    “First, most studies on SNSs focus predominantly on its affordances for communication, such as impression management and formation (Haferkamp, Eimler, Papadakis, & Kruck, 2012;Van Der Heide, Angelo, & Schumaker, 2012).Not many have examined the darker side of SNSs use (Arcy, Gupta, Tarafdar, & Turel, 2014;Tarafdar, Gupta, & Turel, 2013), particularly in the context of unpacking why adolescents use”

  • External pressure from friends may not be enough to motivate adolescents to use SNSs more than they should; their excessive use may instead stem from intrinsic motivations such as self-presentation and mood modification.

    “This suggests that external pressures from friends may not be enough in motivating adolescents to use SNS more than they shouldusing SNSs excessively could be due to intrinsic motivations such as using SNSs for self-presentation and mood-modification purposes (Darvell, Walsh, & White, 2011;LaRose et al., 2010;Van Der Heide et al., 2012).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
