Social comparison on facebook and its effect on an individual's well-being
2021
Social comparison is the process through which people compare their opinions, abilities, behaviours and emotions with those of others for selfevaluation and to obtain an external guide for themselves. There is wide evidence that social comparison is a pervasive behaviour, particularly among adults, both in their social life and in online relationships established through Social Network Sites. A growing number of studies show unmistakably that online social comparison through social media can influence people's everyday life. Features such as Facebook's News Feed or Instagram's Daily Stories provide a stream of information about friends' lives, achievements, abilities and personality, creati…
"I ate an apple today" : suitability of Facebook posts and reactions to norm violations
2015
Facebook on yksi maailman suosituimmista sosiaalisista verkostoitumissivuista. Käyttäjät esiintyvät Facebookissa pääsääntöisesti omilla nimillään, kirjoittavat lyhyitä tekstejä verkostolleen ja jakavat muuta materiaalia avoimesti. Facebookia ja sosiaalista mediaa on tutkittu paljon erilaisista näkökulmista, mutta Facebookiin kirjoituksen aiheista ei ole paljoa tutkimusta. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää mistä aiheista ihmiset kirjoitavat Facebookiin, mitä aiheita välttävät, mitä aiheita pitävät täysin sopimattomina ja miten he reagoivat epäsopiviin kirjoituksiin. Näitä kysymyksiä varten suoritettiin verkko-kysely, jossa kysyttiin avoimesti vastauksia näihin kysymyksiin. Vastaaj…
Città, memoria e social network: partecipazione e condivisione su un gruppo Facebook
2018
il contributo propone una riflessione su alcune dinamiche dello spazio nei processi di virtualizzazione e sulle modalità di costruzione di una memoria condivisa della città attraverso lo studio di un gruppo sul social network Facebook. Gli autori analizzano alcune parti del gruppo “Palermo di una volta” dedicato alla storia della città siciliana e, con l’ausilio di diverse interviste effettuate ad alcuni membri del gruppo, mostrano il funzionamento di alcune dinamiche d’interazione dei gruppi tematici sui social network.
Viaggio nel mondo virtuale: commento pedagogico ai risultati della ricerca
2017
Quando si affronta da un punto di vista educativo il rapporto che sussiste tra social network, ragazzi e genitori, è importante basare la riflessione su un’analisi di dati empirici, che la orientino e la guidino verso una messa in atto di pratiche educative ben radicate nella realtà. Questo è ciò a cui tende la ricerca condotta dall’As.Pe.I., sezione di Brembate, con i ragazzi e i genitori del comune bergamasco. A partire dai dati raccolti, infatti, sono stati evidenziati temi, problemi e conseguenti prospettive da sviluppare e concretizzare in interventi educativi. In particolare, le proposte che verranno presentate si concentreranno su un approfondimento della relazione genitori-figli e s…
Siamo l'esercito del Selfie e non abbiamo più contatti
2017
Le tecnologie mobili influenzano profondamente il modo di pensare e di organizzare il sapere: tendenze, potenzialità e criticità. Le persone sviluppano un’adeguata concezione dei processi cognitivi implicati dagli strumenti multimediali e sono in grado di controllare tali processi in maniera funzionale. L'utilizzo di social media online, come Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, ecc., Sta diventando un fenomeno psicologico e sociale. Oltre il 55 per cento dei "Millennials" hanno preso un selfie e lo hanno condiviso sui social media e oltre 93 milioni di selfies vengono utilizzati ogni giorno con il rischio di condurre all'ossessione. Il Selfie è un'attività non così nuova ma popolare nella cultura …
Assisted labeling for spam account detection on twitter
2019
Online Social Networks (OSNs) have become increasingly popular both because of their ease of use and their availability through almost any smart device. Unfortunately, these characteristics make OSNs also target of users interested in performing malicious activities, such as spreading malware and performing phishing attacks. In this paper we address the problem of spam detection on Twitter providing a novel method to support the creation of large-scale annotated datasets. More specifically, URL inspection and tweet clustering are performed in order to detect some common behaviors of spammers and legitimate users. Finally, the manual annotation effort is further reduced by grouping similar u…
Knowledge Extraction from Biological and Social Graphs
2022
Many problems from real life deal with the generation of enormous, varied, dynamic, and interconnected datasets coming from different and heterogeneous sources. Analysing large volumes of data makes it possible to generate new knowledge useful for making more informed decisions, in business and beyond. From personalising customer communication to streamlining production processes, via flow and emergency management, Big Data Analytics has an impact on all processes. The potential uses of Big Data go much further: two of the largest sources of data are including individual traders’ purchasing history, the use of Biological Networks for disease prediction or the reduction and study of Biologic…

The role of social networking services in eParticipation
2009
Published version of a chapter published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 5694, 46-55. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-03781-8_5 A serious problem in eParticipation projects is citizen engagement – citizens do not necessarily become more willing to participate simply because net-services are provided for them. Most forms of eParticipation in democratic contexts are, however, dependent on citizen engagement, interaction and social networking because democratic systems favour the interests of larger groups of citizens – the more voices behind a political proposition, the greater its chances of success. In this context of challenges the study of s…
