Friends, academic achievement, and school engagement during adolescence : A social network approach to peer influence and selection effects

Abstract Peers become increasingly important socializing agents for academic behaviors and attitudes during adolescence. This study investigated peer influence and selection effects on adolescents' emotional (i.e., flow in schoolwork, school burnout, school value), cognitive (i.e., school effort), and behavioral (i.e., truancy) engagement in school.

Network analyses revealed that the degree to which peer influence and selecti…

Social network site communities as agents and spaces of pursuing influence in society : forms, stages and attributes of building communicative power

2018

Before the emergence and high popularity of social media, individuals or even collectives of individual citizens rarely had strong voice in public discourse.

The objectives of the thesis were to investigate what types of ‘societal influence (SI) oriented SNS communities’ the Internet and social media arena consists of and how their potential communicative power is formed, even to the extent that they can challenge news media and business…

Social network, texting e solitudini verbali. L’analisi linguistico-espressiva delle interazioni tra gli studenti universitari su fb

2019

Nowadays, social platforms play a leading role in the ways of social communication and knowledge building. Young people are the main recipients and users of these means, both with positive effects in the learning and cognitive field and also with negative consequences in the social-relational field. Considered in terms of linguistic-communicative analysis, when used in the teaching do-main, social networks have both the advantage of providing ac-cessible corpora of conversational exchanges and that of contin-uously re-proposing the operational and pragmatic centrality of the subject/user. Starting from the parallel between the models of real conver-sation and the realizations of virtual com…
