Abstract:

La montée en puissance des technologies de l'information et de la communication, notamment sur internet, a permis le développement d'un terrain propice aux échanges interpersonnels ainsi qu'au bouche-à-oreille électronique. Le consommateur n’est plus seulement confronté à l’influence de son réseau personnel traditionnel dans le contexte « hors ligne », mais à une multitude d'internautes qui émettent des avis et des opinions par rapport à des produits ou des marques. L'identification des différentes sources interpersonnelles d'information en ligne, susceptible d’influencer les internautes en communiquant sur les produits, est devenue donc un enjeu important pour les entreprises. Notamment, l’identification des « influenceurs des médias sociaux », cible très prisée du marketing d’influence (Leung et al., 2022). En effet, les partenariats publicitaires entre les marques et les « influenceurs des médias sociaux » (IMS) sont des pratiques devenues courantes. Les marques recourent à ces derniers pour promouvoir leurs produits en échange d’une rémunération. Cependant, les internautes sont de plus en plus méfiants à l’égard de ce genre de recommandations, considérées comme trop peu crédibles car intéressées. Dans ce cas, ces stratégies de communication donnent des effets inverses sur les attitudes et les comportements des consommateurs. Dans cette étude, nous tentons de comprendre les réactions des internautes à l’égard des partenariats publicitaires marque-IMS, en identifiant les facteurs pouvant les améliorer et le mécanisme par lequel cela se produit. Pour ce faire, et après une revue de la littérature existante, deux études ont été menées. Une première étude qualitative exploratoire auprès de 22 internautes, qui a souligné la méfiance des internautes à l'égard de ce genre de communication, ainsi que l’existence de facteurs conditionnant leur efficacité. Ensuite, une seconde étude expérimentale auprès de 868 internautes a été réalisée pour les tester. Ce travail doctoral présente ainsi un certain nombre de contributions théoriques et managériales. Principalement, des facteurs ont été identifiés comme pouvant influencer les réponses comportementales des internautes à l’égard de ces communications. Ces variables sont considérées comme des antécédents de la crédibilité de la source « IMS », qui opère comme l’organisme central par lequel leur influence se produit The advancement of information and communication technologies, especially on the internet, has created an optimal environment for interpersonal interactions and electronic word-of-mouth. Now, consumers are not only influenced by their traditional offline networks but also by a multitude of internet users who share their opinions on products and brands. Identifying the different online interpersonal information sources, capable of impacting internet users, has thus become a critical focus for businesses. Particularly, identifying « social media influencers », highly coveted in influencer marketing (Leung et al., 2022). Indeed, advertising collaborations between brands and « social media influencers » (SMI), have become widespread practices. Brands resort to these individuals to endorse their products in exchange for compensation. However, internet users are increasingly cautious of this type of recommendations, considered not credible due to vested interests. In this case, these communication strategies may have adverse effects on consumer attitudes and behaviors. This study aims to comprehend internet users responses to brand-SMI advertising partnerships by identifying factors that can enhance their effectiveness and the mechanism by which this occurs. To achieve this, and after a review of existing literature, two studies were conducted. Firstly, an exploratory qualitative study involving 22 internet users shed light on user skepticism towards this form of communication and explored factors influencing its effectiveness. Subsequently, a second experimental study involving 868 internet users was conducted to test these findings. This doctoral research thus presents numerous theoretical and managerial contributions. Primarily, factors have been identified as potentially influencing the behavioral responses of internet users towards these communications. These variables are regarded as antecedents to the source « SMI » credibility, which functions as the central mechanism through which their influence occurs

Abstract:

Reason for information seeking by consumers and community members has been the subject of previous research to ascertain any unique issues about the personal attributes of the information seeker, the search environment and context or particular issues associated with the goods or services being researched. Several researchers have identified ways to study how information on health related topics is communicated to the community. While research is limited on the sources, search approaches and conditions associated with obtaining reliable information on health issues and topics, there is extensive literature on the important aspects of communication processes that impact on the unique, and at times complex, environment within which health consumer research occurs. This research project has enabled a review of the interpersonal and noninterpersonal communication modes to understand a range of issues that impact on the community member as the receiver of messages on health issues and topics. A qualitative and quantitative research approach has been utilised in original research to examine a number of issues associated with where community members in Australia turn to find information on health related topics. The study involves the comparison of a number of communication and information gathering approaches and expectations with a picture of information source experiences. The study highlights a range of considerations for campaign, individual communication, environment and background communication planning for those involved in engaging with the community to impart health care orientated messages.

Shea, Geoffrey Yu Kai Surveying &amp Spatial Information Systems Faculty of Engineering UNSW. "A Web-Based Approach to the Integration of Diverse Data Sources for GIS." Awarded by:University of New South Wales. Surveying and Spatial Information Systems, 2001. http://handle.unsw.edu.au/1959.4/17855.

Abstract:

The rigorous developments of GIS over the past decades have enabled application developers to create powerful systems that are used to facilitate the management of spatial data. Unfortunately, each one of these systems is specific to a local service, with little or no interconnection with services in other locales. This makes it virtually impossible to perform dynamic and interactive GIS operations across multiple locales which have similar or dissimilar system configurations. The Spatial Data Transfer Standard (SDTS) resolved the problems partially by offering excellent conceptual and logical abstraction model for data exchange. Recent advancements of the Internet enlightened the GIS community as to the realization of an ideal concept of information interchange. A suite of new technologies that embraces Extensible Markup Language (XML), Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), Portable Network Graphics (PNG) and Java creates a powerful and new perspective that can be applied to all phases of online GIS system development. The online GIS is a Web-based approach to integrating diverse spatial data sources for GIS applications. To address the spatial data integration options and implications related to the Web-based approach the investigation was undertaken in 5 phases: (1) Determine the mapping requirements of graphic and non-graphic spatial data for online GIS application; (2) Analyze the requirements of spatial data integration for online environments; (3) Investigate a suitable method for integrating different formats of spatial data; (4) Study the feasibility and applicability of setting up the online GIS; and (5) Develop a prototype for online sharing of teaching resources. Resulting from the critical review on current Internet technology, a conceptual framework for spatial data integration was proposed. This framework was based on the emerging Internet technology on XML, SVG, PNG, and Java. It was comprised of four loosely coupled modules, namely, Application Interface, Presentation, Integrator, and Data module. This loosely coupled framework provides an environment that will be independent of the underlying GIS data structure and makes it easy to change or update the system as a new task or knowledge is acquired. A feasibility study was conducted to test the applicability for the proposed conceptual framework. A detailed user requirements and system specification was thus devised from the feasibility study. These user requirements and system specification provided some guidelines for online GIS application development. They were expressed specifically in terms of six aspects: (1) User; (2) Teaching resources management; (3) Data; (4) Cartography; (5) Functions; and (6) Software development configuration. A prototype system based on some of the devised system specifications was developed. In the prototype software design, the architecture of a Three-Tier Client-Server computing model was adopted. Due to the inadequacy of native support for SVG and PNG in all currently available Web browsers, the prototype was thus implemented in HTML, Java and vendor specific vector format. The prototype demonstrated how teaching resources from a variety of sources and format (including map data and non-map resources) were integrated and shared. The implementation of the prototype revealed that the Web is still an ideal medium for providing wider accessibility of geographical information to a larger number of users through a corporate intranet or the Internet cost-effectively. The investigation concluded that current WWW technology is limited in its capability for spatial data integration and delivering online functionality. However, developing of XML-based GIS data model and graphic standards SVG and PNG for structuring and transferring spatial data on the Internet appear to be providing solutions to the current limitations. It is believed that the ideal world where everyone retrieving spatial information contextually through a Web browser disregarding the information format and location will eventually become true.

Full text

Abstract:

Modeling the "thick description" of photographs began at the intersection of personal and institutional descriptions. Comparing institutional descriptions of particular photos that were also used in personal online conversations was the initial phase. Analyzing conversations that started with a photographic image from the collection of the Library of Congress (LC) or the collection of the Manchester Historic Association (MHA) provided insights into how cultural heritage institutions could enrich the description of photographs by using informal descriptions such as those applied by Facebook users. Taking photos of family members, friends, places, and interesting objects is something people do often in their daily lives. Some photographic images are stored, and some are shared with others in gatherings, occasions, and holidays. Face-to-face conversations about remembering some of the details of photographs and the event they record are themselves rarely recorded. Digital cameras make it easy to share personal photos in Web conversations and to duplicate old photos and share them on the Internet. The World Wide Web even makes it simple to insert images from cultural heritage institutions in order to enhance conversations. Images have been used as tokens within conversations along with the sharing of information and background knowledge about them. The recorded knowledge from conversations using photographic images on Social Media (SM) has resulted in a repository of rich descriptions of photographs that often include information of a type that does not result from standard archival practices. Closed group conversations on Facebook among members of a community of interest/practice often involve the use of photographs to start conversations, convey details, and initiate story-telling about objets, events, and people. Modeling of the conversational use of photographic images on SM developed from the exploratory analyses of the historical photographic images of the Manchester, NH group on Facebook. The model was influenced by the typical model of Representation by Agency from O'Connor in O'Connor, Kearns, and Anderson Doing Things with Information: Beyond Indexing and Abstracting, by considerations of how people make and use photographs, and by the notion of functionality from Patrick Wilson's Public Knowledge, Private Ignorance: Toward a Library and Information Policy. The model offers paths for thickening the descriptions of photographs in archives and for enriching the use of photographs on social media.

McGlynn, Joseph. "More connections, less connection: An examination of the effects of computer-mediated communication on relationships." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2006. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc5449/.

Full text

Abstract:

The impact of computer-mediated communication (CMC) on relational behavior is a topic of increasing interest to communication scholars (McQuillen, 2003; Tidwell & Walther, 2002). One of the most interesting issues that CMC raises concerns the impact of CMC on relational maintenance and development. Using dialectical theory, social exchange theory, social information processing theory, and the hyperpersonal perspective as theoretical frameworks, this study used quantitative and qualitative analyses to identity potential effects of CMC on relationships. Study 1 (n=317) examined the effects of CMC on relational closeness, satisfaction, and social support. Study 2 (n=196) explored the reasons individuals provide for privileging computer-mediated forms of communication, and the perceived effects of using CMC in relational communication. Results indicated that quality of CMC predicted increased perceptions of social support and relationship satisfaction. Results further suggested that CMC enabled participants to manage more effectively relational tensions of autonomy-connection and openness-closedness. Specifically, individuals used CMC to retain higher levels of conversational control, and to maintain greater numbers of relationships with decreased levels of investment. This paper concludes with a discussion of implications and directions for future research.

Abstract:

The Internet – when defined as a massive, uncontrolled database of information – is not a reliable source of information. Despite this, it has developed into the default terminology tool for most translators today. This study explores what criteria are used by translators to define website credibility and whether translation experience affects the criteria used. Three groups of differently experienced translators were asked to translate two technical texts from English to Swedish and document the websites they visited. The documentation was used as the basis for follow-up interviews, where the translators were asked to argue for their choices. The results show a significant similarity in application of criteria between student and experienced translators, indicating that other factors than experience are at play. Moreover, source text complexity does not affect the criteria used but rather to what extent research is performed. These results can be used to encourage further research into the information search behavior of translators.

Abstract:

碩士 南臺科技大學 商管專業學院 107 ABSTRACT When consumers recognize a need, they seek information about the products or services that can describe their need and want. This process is the most important part of making a purchase decision. Research concerning offline information sources such as TV commercials and newspaper advertisements has been abundant. Nevertheless, with the trend of rapid growth of the online information sources that may affect purchase decision, there is a need to undertake more research to appreciate consumer information search behavior in pre-purchase process. Therefore, it would be interesting should we investigate the issues of consumer behavior, specifically, individual differences, and the relationship with the consumer’s choice of information sources before making purchase decision. Since the year of 2000, Internet usage in Mongolia, especially in big cities, is thriving and pervading. This study focuses on the Mongolian consumers. It tries to understand the relationship between online vs. offline sources and individual factors. Specifically, I examine the relative value of online vs. offline sources of information for the pre-purchase information search for consumers. A quantitative research design and a three-part questionnaire survey were used. Samples of 215 Mongolian luxury goods buyers were obtained. Data was followed with data analysis and hypothesis tests. Among the four individual differences (personality, perceived risk, customer experience, and consumer lifestyle), this finding shows that perceived risk, customer experience and lifestyle have significant influence on Mongolian consumers’ search for pre-purchase information. However, personality influenced only the search of online sources yet the effects toward offline search was not clear. In summary, for high involvement product markets in Mongolia, individual factors do count. It is also suggested that managers should understand numerous factors which influence the acquisition of information in order to segment their customers and optimize their communication channels for marketing. In addition, brand managers should concentrate on these individual factors to succeed on the market.

Abstract:

Bipolar disorder is a chronic mental illness with a global prevalence of 1–2% (Grande, Berk, Birmaher, & Vieta, 2016) and a suicide rate more than 20 times that of the general population (Altamura et al., 2010). Receiving a bipolar disorder diagnosis can be a life-altering event with implications for selfhood and identity (M. L. Inder et al., 2008) as well as the need to accept ongoing, often lifelong, treatment. Psychoeducation plays an important part in diagnosis acceptance which in turn facilitates better illness management and more positive outcomes. Although many patients would prefer to receive information from their healthcare providers, up to 75% use the Internet as their primary bipolar information source (Kerner et al., 2019). Prior research has assessed the accuracy and readability of bipolar websites (Morel, Chatton, Cochand, Zullino, & Khazaal, 2008), however, to date no one has closely analysed the language used on these websites and the impact it may have on information seekers. This qualitative study takes a grounded approach to examine the language of online bipolar information sources, using psychiatrists’ insights as a reference point, and finds that much of the information on bipolar websites is couched in confusing or stigmatising language and, despite strongly advising against self-diagnosis, many sites actively enable self-diagnosis. The study also reveals a contrast between psychiatrists’ approach to diagnosis delivery and the uncertainty that is necessarily embedded in the process, and the way this is depicted on websites. An implication of these findings is that psychiatrists may not be familiar with the content of popular websites and could benefit from guidance when choosing which online resources to recommend to their patients.

Using the elaboration likelihood model ELM), we examine source of e-WOM(social network, virtual community) affect consumer’s decision-making. Using the cognitive fit theory, we try which type of reviews fits consumers with a high (low) level of expertise. We also investigate that the effects of the source of e-WOM, level of expertise and type of reviews. The hypotheses were tested using a 2 (source of e-WOM) x 2 (levels of expertise) x 2 (number of reviews) mixed design. The results show that consumers with a low motivation have the effect of ELM (source of e-WOM) on purchase intention is stronger for social network than for virtual community, and in social network that cognitive fit (benefit-centric reviews) on purchase intention is stronger for novices than for experts, in virtual community that cognitive fit (attribute-centric reviews) on purchase intention is stronger for experts than for novices. This study delivers future research and online sellers to refer.

Abstract:

In recent years, virtual communities have become increasingly popular among online users and businesses. Public press has shown a strong interest in virtual communities and announced their informational value. The explosive growth of virtual communities has aroused tremendous interest among academic researchers as well. Academic researchers have noticed that participation dynamics of virtual communities among online users create valuable information that influences subsequent economic outcome. However, relatively little research has explored the underlying motives of passive and active participation in virtual communities. In particular, research explicating how the information created by user participation influences users’ economic decisions has not been investigated. To investigate user participation dynamics and the resulting informational value of virtual communities, I explore three major issues in my dissertation. First, I investigate the determinants of passive and active users of virtual communities using survey data from 502 online investors. The results indicate that social, psychological, and community factors influence two different behavioral intentions – the intention to share and the intention to seek. For instance, social factors such as reputation seeking increase the intention to share in virtual communities, whereas psychological factors such as perceived knowledge deteriorate the intention to seek. Second, I explore how an online investor processes information posted on virtual communities and its subsequent economic outcomes by conducting a field experiment. I find that psychological bias (e.g., confirmation bias) influences investors’ information processing behaviors, which ultimately leads to a low return of investment as compared to economic rationales. Following this line of exploration, I empirically examine the relative informational impact of virtual communities on users’ decisions and market performance in the context of electronic markets. Using customer review data from a well-known online retailer and from three third-party customer review websites, I find that consumers obtain product information from external information sources during the information search stage for high involvement products and are thus less influenced by retailer-hosted information. All in all, my dissertation contributes to the understanding of user participation dynamics and informational value of virtual communities by investigating users’ information processing behavior and the subsequent economic outcomes and performance. text

Abstract:

Digital information and economic activity: gaps and progress in Spain during the period 2007-2010 In this dissertation we evaluate some of the progresses and gaps that can be observed in the supply and delivery of digital information for economic activity in Spain during the period 2007-2010 from four different viewpoints. These four study areas are: - the Spanish e-Administration as an energizing factor of all national economic sectors, and the digital information market in particular; - the contribution made by the Spanish Chambers of Commerce in digital information for economic activity; - changes, gaps and progresses made in the provision of digital information to the agricultural sector; - the presence of subjects related to the information on economic activity in the curricula aimed to train information professionals at the Spanish universities. To put in context the research work, we have also analyzed the development and current status of each of the four study areas. The dissertation highlights the importance the Spanish Public Administration has had in the past, and still has, in the development of the electronic information industry in Spain. Contributions made by private initiatives are also discussed. Furthermore, in the four study areas we observe dynamics which take place at very different speeds. This depends on the contribution of the actor or group of actors involved in each case. Particularly notable was the low presence of information on economic activity in the curricula aimed to train information professionals in Spanish universities.

Relatório de estágio de mestrado em Ciências da Comunicação (área de especialização em Informação e Jornalismo) Tendo como ponto de partida um estágio no jornal Público, num momento marcado por uma certa instabilidade profissional, este relatório/dissertação sugere, de um modo geral, uma reflexão sobre as ameaças a que estão actualmente sujeitos os jornalistas no exercício da sua profissão. Num primeiro momento, faz-se o relato e análise – adoptando uma perspectiva autocrítica – de alguns episódios fundamentais dessa experiência. De seguida, partindo do pressuposto de que existem condições essenciais ao normal funcionamento da missão jornalística, procura-se estudar um conjunto de constrangimentos, resultantes de uma reconfiguração social recente, tentando perceber até que ponto poderão colocar em causa a qualidade e a liberdade jornalística e, numa perspectiva mais alargada, a estabilidade democrática. Falamos dos efeitos perversos da concentração de vários órgãos de comunicação social em grandes grupos económicos; das interferências das fontes de informação – cada vez mais profissionalizadas – no processo de construção da notícia; e das dificuldades associadas à migração do jornalismo para a esfera online. Para finalizar, procurando perceber até que ponto se verificam efectivamente estas ameaças no interior das redacções, investiga-se o caso do Público, almejando uma visão mais nítida sobre a actual paisagem jornalística portuguesa. Based on a traineeship at the Público newspaper during a period marked by a certain instability within the profession, this dissertation/report offers a general reflection on the threats currently faced by journalists in the course of their profession. It starts with an account and analysis – adopting a self-critical stance – of some essential episodes during that experience. On the assumption that essential conditions were in place for the normal functioning of journalism, a number of constraints arising out of recent reconfigurations of society were studied, in order to understand the extent to which they may affect the quality and freedom of journalism and, from a broader perspective, democratic stability. Issues addressed include the perverse effects of concentration of media ownership by major economic groups; the interference by – increasingly professionalised – information sources in the process of constructing news; and the difficulties associated with the migration of journalism to the internet. Finally, in order to understand to what extent these threats are effectively felt by newspaper staff, the case of Público was studied, for a clearer view of the current situation of journalism in Portugal.

DIPLOMOVÁ PRÁCE Komu věří české konvertitky? Zdroje informací mladých pražských konvertitek k islámu Bc. Klára Popovová English Abstract At present, Islam is a hotly debated issue in the Czech society; however, we still know very little about our own Muslim minority and academic studies only started to focus on it in the last few years. Apart from native Muslims, several hundred converts to Islam live in the Czech Republic. These people discovered their religion as adults and have not been brought up with it. Where do women who have decided to become Muslims look for information and on what basis do they trust their sources? Apart from the above-mentioned questions, this thesis discusses other topics related to conversion of women to Islam, be it their motivation to convert or the response of their families and friends. The main contribution of this thesis consists of original quantitative research in which fifteen young women converts to Islam living in Prague took part. This sample provides an interesting insight into the lives of several Czech Muslim women and also a starting point for further, more complex research. From the respondents' answers, it is evident that the Internet, social networks, and information exchange between Czech Muslim women play an important part. More traditional sources, such as...

Abstract:

O presente relatório, elaborado no âmbito do Mestrado em Jornalismo, pretende procurar e refletir como é que as redes sociais são uma fonte de informação no jornalismo desportivo. Com o crescimento das redes sociais muitas das notícias são provenientes do Facebook ou do Twitter. No jornalismo desportivo é ainda mais notório as notícias que têm como fonte de informação as respetivas redes sociais. As perguntas de investigação a que preponho responder são, Quais foram as fontes de informação usadas na cobertura jornalística das eleições do Sporting pelo Record? e Qual é a importância das redes sociais como fonte de informação nesta cobertura? Para responder a estas perguntas de investigação, recorremos a uma análise de conteúdo de todas as peças publicadas no website do jornal Record sobre as eleições da Direção do Sporting entre os dias 8 de agosto de 2018 e 18 de setembro de 2018. Ao todo foram analisadas 157 artigos. As principais conclusões são que as redes sociais não foram muito usadas como fontes de informação nos respetivos artigos, os candidatos à presidência do Sporting foram a fonte de informação mais usada e a importância das redes sociais como fonte de informação nesta cobertura deve-se ao facto das plataformas digitais explicarem-se pela facilidade com que a informação é vinculada. This report, developed within the scope of the Master's in Journalism, aims to look for and reflect on how social networks are a source of information in sports journalism. With the growth of social networks many of the news comes from Facebook or Twitter. In sports journalism, the news is more noticeable, which has its social networks as a source of information. The research questions that I intend to answer are: What were the sources of information used in the journalistic coverage of the Sporting elections by the Record? and What is the importance of social networks as a source of information in this coverage? To answer these research questions, we used a content analysis of all the pieces published on the website of the Record newspaper on the elections of the Direction of Sporting between August 8, 2018 and September 18, 2018. All were analyzed 157 articles. The main conclusions are that social networks were not widely used as sources of information in their articles, candidates for the presidency of Sporting was the most used source of information and the importance of social networks as a source of information in this coverage is due to the fact of digital platforms are explained by the ease with which the information is linked.
