Exploring Survey Instruments in Online Hate Speech Research: A Comprehensive Scoping Review
Research on online hate speech is burgeoning, highlighting its significant negative consequences on individual and societal levels. Still, there is a lack of attention directed towards understanding the perceptions and experiences of individuals in the general population toward this phenomenon. Such insights could significantly help decision-makers and scholars in formulating initiatives to inform and educate the public, thereby preventing furthe…
Disentangling the role of algorithm awareness and knowledge in digital inequalities: An empirical validation of an explanatory model
Algorithms have become almost ubiquitous on the internet. They shape the way internet users engage with internet services across diverse online domains and what outcomes they obtain from their internet uses. While scholars have extensively studied the societal implications of algorithms in the digital world, only a few studies investigated the relationship between digital inequalities and algorithm awareness and knowledge. Little is known about h…
Antecedents of Privacy Protection Behaviors at the Vertical and Horizontal Levels
Internet users face privacy threats when using online services. Privacy protection behaviors, such as adjusting privacy settings, can alleviate some of these threats. Research shows that individuals’ privacy protection behaviors (PPBs) depend on their socio-demographics characteristics, digital engagement, privacy concerns, and online privacy literacy (OPL). In addition, it has been suggested that due to the complexity of privacy issues online, a…
Systematic review of survey scales measuring information privacy concerns on social network sites
Privacy in social network sites (SNSs) is an important issue, and many researchers have focused on understanding the effects of information privacy concerns (IPCs) on user behavior. However, to develop research capable of addressing the complexity and multilayered nature of IPCs on SNSs, valid and reliable IPC survey scales are necessary. To this end, a systematic review of IPC scales utilized in SNS research was conducted to describe the survey …
Methodological Issues When Interpreting Changes in Social Phenomena Over Time: Perceptions of Relative Difference, Absolute Difference, and Time Distance
When comparing social science phenomena through a time perspective, absolute and relative difference (RD) are the two typical presentation formats used to communicate interpretations to the audience, while time distance (TD) is the least frequently used of such formats. This article argues that the chosen presentation format is extremely important because the various formats suggest different substantive interpretations. To elaborate upon this is…
The Quality of Survey Scales for Measuring Information Privacy Concerns on Social Network Sites: A Systematic Review
Information privacy concerns (IPCs) play an important role in user behavior on social network sites (SNSs). They are associated with self-disclosure behavior, enjoyment, and, perhaps most importantly, a user’s intention and ability to form and sustain social ties on SNSs. While conceptual integration of different approaches to studying IPCs has already been pursued, prior research has pointed to potential problems with respect to the survey measu…

Measuring the Dynamics of Information Societies: Empowering Stakeholders Amid the Digital Divide
Accurate insight into the emergence of information societies is essential not only for understanding the social effects of information and communication technologies, but also for empowering stakeholders to promptly and appropriately respond to the challenges they encounter. One much-discussed challenge that is particularly in need of analytical clarity is the digital divide, which is difficult to empirically elaborate, given its complicated natu…
Interpreting the Dynamics of Social Indicators: Methodological Issues Related to Absolute, Relative, and Time Differences
Social uses of interpersonal communication technologies in a complex media environment
This article investigates the patterns of social use of interpersonal communication technologies that can be discerned in today’s complex media environment, in which people have many channels available for interpersonal communication. The article starts with a comprehensive review of the comparative uses and gratification research of interpersonal communication media. It argues that these studies are efficient in answering questions such as why o…
Measuring ego-centered social networks on the web: Questionnaire design issues
Methodological Challenges of Digital Divide Measurements
The term “digital divide” has been used for almost a decade and typically relates to sociodemographic differences in the use of information and communication technology. However, the corresponding measurement is still relatively imprecise. Very often it is simply reduced to comparisons of Internet penetration rates. This article extends the measurements above the usual bivariate comparisons. Within this context, three essential approaches are pre…
