Journalists and readers of celebrity news regularly bash celebrities online, a behavior that is easily accepted among adolescents. This study investigates whether these attitudes of acceptance differ according to the perpetrator of the bashing (media versus public) and the likeability of the involved celebrity (liked versus disliked). Using a vignette study, we examine adolescent girls’ attitudes toward media (journalists’) and public (readers’) bashing of a generally disliked celebrity (Miley Cyrus) and a generally liked celebrity (Selena Gomez). All participants read an identical negative news story (media bashing) and two related negative reader comments (public bashing). Participants were randomly assigned to read this information about either Miley Cyrus or Selena Gomez. Results of a mixed-design ANOVA showed that the girls had less negative attitudes toward media bashing compared with public bashing. Moreover, they more easily accepted the bashing of a disliked celebrity than the bashing of a liked celebrity.  相似文献   

Out of Sight, (Not Yet) Out of Mind: The Impact of Tie Strength on Direct Interaction and Social Surveillance Among Geographically Close and Long-Distance Facebook Friends     

Kevin Koban  Sophie Krüger 《Communication Research Reports》2018,35(1):74-84

Social networking sites are considered a valuable resource to maintain existing friendships even over considerable distances. The present study emphasizes tie strength as a crucial determinant for the use of interactive and passive features among 302 active Facebook users and friends of different relational closeness (close friends vs. casual friends vs. acquaintances) as well as a moderator for the impact of physical distance. As expected, tie strength affected direct interaction linearly, whereas social surveillance followed a quadratic trend. Furthermore, moderation analyses revealed less frequent direct interaction between close friends and stronger surveillance of casual friends’ profiles as physical distance increases. These results indicate different functions in relationship maintenance for both behaviors as direct interaction aims at nurturing current relationships, while surveillance serves as a catalyst for promising future communications. As a consequence, physical distance influences direct interaction adversely due to emerging constraints but also contains informational value encouraging information-seeking behaviors.  相似文献   

Investigating the Role of Problem Severity and Channel Publicness on the Sophistication of Support-Seeking Messages on Social Network Sites: A Replication Study     

Emily M. Buehler  Ashley M. Peterson  Andrew C. High 《Communication Studies》2018,69(3):304-313

Oh and LaRose (2016) contended that problem severity and channel publicness shape support seekers’ goals, time spent composing messages, and the sophistication of those messages. The current study seeks to replicate and extend Oh and LaRose’s study to produce a more accurate understanding of the factors that influence the sophistication of support-seeking messages online. Support seekers’ goals varied according to the severity of a stressor and the publicness of a channel, and the amount of time people spent composing a message influenced its sophistication. We extend the original study by examining associations that were not initially tested. Time spent composing messages mediated the influence of problem severity on the quality of people’s messages, and this effect was moderated by channel publicness.  相似文献   

Two Thousand Students,One Librarian: Balancing Depth and Breadth of Library Instruction for Online Graduate Students     

Lindley Homol 《Journal of Library & Information Services in Distance Learning》2018,12(3-4):250-258

Many librarians struggle with how to balance scalable instructional offerings with more personalized instruction for online students—scale tends to come at the cost of personalization and vice versa. This paper will discuss three methods for connecting with online students that range from one-to-one personalization to widely scalable instruction: individual consultations, scaffolded instructional webinars, and asynchronous video tutorials. The student engagement with each type of instruction will be discussed, with ideas for future directions provided.  相似文献   

If Only They Knew: Audience Expectations and Actual Sourcing Practices in Online Journalism     

Ville J. E. Manninen 《Journalism Practice》2020,14(4):412-428

ABSTRACT

This article answers the question “Are the sourcing practices in Finnish online journalism trustworthy?” Here, trustworthiness is operationalized as the fulfillment of audience expectations towards sourcing practices. To this end, expectations of young Finnish adults (aged 18–28) were compared to the observed practices of Finnish online journalists. A total of 36 news items (from 12 journalists working in three newsrooms, published in 2013 and 2017) were analyzed. The analysis indicates that online journalists’ sourcing practices largely do not conform to this audience segment's expectations. Namely, the audience expects more comprehensive investigation and thorough verification than what is common practice in online journalism. The use of high-credibility sources is both expected and commonplace. The results imply that transparency may be harmful rather than beneficial to journalism's credibility, as the unveiled practices do not always meet audience expectations.  相似文献

我国图情领域期刊论文在线百科的利用特征探析     

王志红 《图书情报工作》2016,60(19):99-107

[目的/意义]在线百科主题覆盖面和用户范围非常广泛,不同的学科领域及不同类型的用户对应着不同的需求和利用模式,因此需要从研究人员对在线百科的引用特征和引用类型出发,深入分析在线百科的用户需求和利用特征。[方法/过程]以我国图书情报学领域（以下简称“图情领域”）期刊论文为研究对象,从引用在线百科资源的论文数量及引文数量、时间分布、主题分布、期刊分布、机构分布、作者分布、文献类型、引用类型等多个指标,探析图情领域期刊论文在线百科的利用特征与规律。[结果/结论]结果表明,在我国图情领域学术研究过程对在线百科资源具有较高的依赖性,引用在线百科的期刊论文研究主题集中在图书馆、当下流行的信息技术和概念等相关方面,以非实证性研究居多,引用频次较高的期刊和机构主要是排名靠前的核心期刊和高校,引用较多的作者群体多为女性作者和实践工作者,引用类型依次为对非图情专业术语的引用、图情专业术语的引用以及网站和词条本身的引用。最后从在线百科词条质量和信息聚合两个角度对这一现象和特征进行讨论。  相似文献

Reflectors as online extraverts?     

Kevin Downing 《Educational studies》2004,30(3):265-276

Increasingly, online learning is perceived as an effective method of instruction. Much recent educational research has focused on examining the purposes and situations for which online education is best suited. In this paper, students enrolled in two online courses are compared with their peers enrolled in equivalent classroom‐based courses to investigate aspects of the relationship between learning style and mode of delivery. Student satisfaction measures are taken from participants in both modes of delivery and compared with student learning style. Feedback from the ‘Reflector’ learning style demonstrates higher satisfaction levels with the online mode of delivery compared with their matched counterparts following equivalent classroom‐based courses. Therefore, whilst ‘Reflectors’ might be regarded as Introverts in the traditional classroom setting, the additional time for reflection offered by online delivery makes this group more likely to contribute to online discussion, report higher satisfaction levels and generally behave more like online Extraverts.  相似文献
