Singaporean Adolescents' Perceptions of Online Social Communication: An Exploratory Factor Analysis
Abstract
The current study investigated adolescents' perceptions in online social communication. Three factors were perceived by adolescents as critical to online social communication. These included self-identity, self-confidence, and self-social factors. Results showed significant differences between the factors derived from the current study and those in the literature. Regression analyses showed demographic and online experience variables significantly predicted adolescents' perceptions in online social communication. Implications of these findings for online educators were offered along with suggestions for future research.

“This finding is consistent with previous research where self-confidence is believed to correlate with the concept of locus of control ( self factor ) (e.g., Madell & Muncer, 2006; Sheeks & Birchmeier, 2007) and making friends with peers ( social factor ) (e.g., Antonio, 2004; Cheng & Furnham, 2002).”

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.
