Usage patterns and social circles on Facebook among elderly people with diverse personality traits     

Fan Mo  Michal Kosinski  David Stillwell 《Educational gerontology》2018,44(4):265-275

Elderly people are exposed to information technologies to keep them in touch with younger generations. Among various technologies, social network sites (SNSs) are seldom used by the majority of elderly people. To bridge the digital divide, it is necessary to dig deeply into the minority elderly users of SNSs. This study explores usage patterns of elderly Facebook users and further investigates how their diverse characteristics influence their usage and social circles. Three findings were derived. First, a sharp digital divide on SNSs does exist, and existing elderly Facebook users are mainly the dabblers. Second, personality profiling could predict elderly people’s SNS usage behaviors. Elderly users with a high level of openness and extroversion have more friends, status updates, and group memberships, and those with a high level of conscientiousness have fewer likes and status updates. Elderly users are likely to seek insightful content on SNSs. Moreover, they may have a higher degree of emotional stability than young users when using SNSs. Third, elderly people tend to build small social circles on SNSs that “copy” the family relationship in the real world; whereas, they build large social circles with interests and hobbies that are difficult to share in the real world. Based on these results, detailed suggestions are presented for better targeting elderly people in ways that move them toward SNSs.  相似文献

Tongan students’ attitudes towards their subjects in new zealand relative to their academic achievement     

Mo’ale Otunuku  Gavin T. L. Brown 《Asia Pacific Education Review》2007,8(1):117-128

Research indicates that affective attitudes such as liking of a subject and confidence in one’s ability within a subject predict academic performance. Generally, immigrant minority students have positive attitudes and often have low academic performance. This study examines the self-efficacy and liking of subjects of New Zealand students and analyses the relationship of those attitudes towards academic performance in mathematics, writing, and reading by self-reported ethnicity. Data were obtained from the norming samples from the Assessment Tools for Teaching and Learning project in New Zealand. Of special interest are the relationships between attitude and performance for Pasifika and Tongan students in New Zealand. Tongan and Pasifika students had positive attitudes, but their mean scores were not significantly different to other ethnic groups except in writing for Tongan students. Tongan and Pasifika students did have lower academic performance than majority and Asian immigrant students in all three subjects. The correlation between liking and self-efficacy was fundamentally zero for Tongan and Pasifika students, while it was weakly positive for majority and Asian immigrant students. Together these results question the power of self-efficacy and liking attitudes to predict academic performance for immigrant students from agrarian or traditional societies. Further, the data suggest that ‘school effects’ are most likely explanations for this relationship, rather than lack of attachment, opposition, or deficiency theories.  相似文献

我国科技期刊市场环境的SWOT分析   总被引：7，自引：3，他引：4  

莫京 《编辑学报》2007,19(1):53-55

利用SWOT分析法分析了我国科技期刊市场环境的优势(strengts)、劣势(weaknsses),以及存在的机遇(opponunities)和威胁(threats).认为我国科技期刊市场环境的优势是产品替代性小、可利用资源丰富;劣势为期刊的影响力亟待提高、办刊思路滞后、发行量小、市场化程度低;威胁是外资和外刊进入、信任度危机、广告竞争加剧;目前我国科技期刊的发展机遇是科技形势的发展、国家宏观经济体制的改革、消费水平不断提高和期刊对外合作的日益加强.  相似文献   

唠叨话的语用学分析     

莫国辉  章礼霞 《北京工业职业技术学院学报》2007,6(1):57-60

从语用学的角度,根据Grice的会话合作原则和Leech提出的礼貌准则,对唠叨话进行深层分析探究.唠叨话,之所以通常被认为是失败的交际话语,是因为其严重违反了合作原则中的数量准则、关联准则和方式准则;归属于竞争类和冲突类的言外行为,唠叨话常常违反了礼貌原则中的策略准则和赞扬准则.  相似文献   

基于上市公司年报分析的图书馆与数据库商博弈思路研究     

杨华  李玲丽  莫晓霞  辛蕾  牛悦 《图书情报工作》2023,67(5):99-107

[目的 /意义]针对图书馆数字资源采购谈判中面临的不合理合约、产品高定价、高涨幅等业内难题,引入上市公司年报分析法来寻求新的博弈思路。[方法 /过程]构建产业链分析、收入-利润指标、竞争力因素分析框架,以Elsevier、中国知网、Clarivate三家数据库商为分析案例,发现竞争力、利润、续订率是数据库商最关注的3个方面,认为图书馆在与数据库商的博弈中同时存在主动性和被动性两方面,在过去的谈判思路中对营业成本与涨价幅度、利润率和参考对象、开放获取与社会责任的认知有一定偏差。[结果 /结论 ]图书馆在开放信息生态下将面临新一轮的资金压力和业务重塑,应从探索零和博弈、重复博弈的竞争性策略,资金适度向国内学术出版商倾斜,寻求媒体关注、法律支持,深化数字出版产品价格相关研究方面应对新的挑战。  相似文献   

以实验教学培养大学生之"大学精神"     

张宇  莫蓓莘  汪安泰  聂晓云  陈伟钊 《实验技术与管理》2011,28(11)

大学所传授的绝不应该仅仅是科学文化知识和能力,更重要的是在潜移默化中把"大学精神"的种子播在每个大学生心中,以期在走向社会的实践中,让这颗种子长成"参天大树".在大学生参加自然科学实验课程和创新实验的学习过程中,利用自然科学与生俱来的客观规律性和逻辑必然性,在大众化教育的基础上,以精英教育为主,师生互动引导大学生自我学习并领会"创造精神、批判精神和社会关怀精神"等"大学精神"的内涵,最终成为指引他们努力一生的精神力量.  相似文献
