Twitter Users' Privacy Behavior
Social networking sites have become a predominant means of communication across the globe. Activities on these sites generate massive amounts of personal information and raise concerns about its potential abuse. Means designed to protect the user's privacy and prevent exploitation of confidential data often go unused. In this study, we draw on the theory of planned behavior, a reasoned action approach, to explain intentions to adopt privacy behav…
The Role of User Comments in Estimation of the Public Opinion Climate and Perceived Support for One’s Opinion
This article examines how user comments influence assessment of public opinion climate and perceived support for one’s opinion. The effects of user-comment sentiment (positive vs. negative) and of user-comment content (with or without personal exemplification) were tested with an online experiment (n = 1,510). Results show that user-comment effects on estimates of public opinion depend mainly on the sentiment of the comments and not on their fram…
Opinion expression via user comments on news websites
User comments have become an essential part of news websites. In this article, we examine this mode of public expression via the theory of the spiral of silence. This is done while adopting alternative measures, with regard to three major issues on the Israeli agenda, and in comparison to expression in public, as in the traditional theory. Based on an Internet survey (n = 712), the present study results support the relevancy of the spiral of sile…
To Post or not to Post
User comments have become an integral part of news websites. This study implements the well-validated theory of planned behavior (TPB) in order to understand the individual decision to post anonymous comments on news sites in Israel. We examine whether commenting is a spontaneous behavior, as has been argued in previous studies, or a reasoned behavior. Based on an internet survey (N = 707), the present study results support the hypothesis that th…
Measurement Invariance across Face-to-Face and Telephone Modes
This article tests the implications of mode selection on measurement equivalence in interview-administered surveys among minorities using a Multi-Group Multiple Indicators-Multiple Causes Model. A measurement invariance test procedure comparing face-to-face and telephone modes was performed on an attitude scale concerning social integration between Arabs and Jews. The scale was measured in two surveys conducted simultaneously among the Arab minor…
Coverage Bias in Telephone Surveys in Israel
Potential coverage bias in telephone surveys among the general population in Israel was studied in a random sample of 6,405 adults drawn from the population register. Registered telephone status (landline and mobile, mobile-only, no telephone) of each sampled individual was matched with his or her sociodemographic characteristics obtained from diverse databases. This facilitated estimation of the coverage properties of the landline telephone dire…
The Decision to Participate in Social Surveys
This study suggests a general theoretical framework for explaining the decision to participate in surveys, and tests its applicability to the Arab minority in Israel. The theory of reasoned action is proposed as a conceptual framework that can explain the willingness of respondents to participate in surveys. Although the model tested here refers to a specific population (Israeli Arabs), a specific topic (coexistence) and a specific context (a dee…
