The ambivalences of digital disconnection for life coaches
This study examines how life coaches navigate the tension between the authenticity of digital disconnection and the selective, strategic performance of that disconnection on Instagram, either through discrete (unpublicized) or performative (publicly framed) practices. Drawing on interviews with 15 Flemish-Belgian and Dutch life coaches and a qualitative analysis of their Instagram content, the study shows how disconnection emerges as an ongoing n…
From bliss to burden
Drawing from a two-year ethnography with sixteen adults in Flanders and Brussels, Belgium, this study disentangles the social, material, and individual obstacles experienced in day-to-day life that hinder and foster digital well-being. Findings show how these obstacles are interrelated, laying bare the tensions that cut across social relations, digital devices, and spaces. Moreover, (gendered) responsibilities and social relations impact whether …
Do parasocial relationships with micro- and mainstream celebrities differ? An empirical study testing four attributes of the parasocial relationship
The aim of this study was to examine to what extent parasocial relationships with micro-celebrities and mainstream celebrities differ in terms of perceived reciprocity, authenticity, intimacy, and parasocial interaction. A within-person comparison of survey responses collected among 402 college students in China showed that participants perceived their relationships with micro-celebrities as more reciprocal than their relationships with mainstrea…
Fear of Missing Out as a Predictor of Problematic Social Media Use and Phubbing Behavior among Flemish Adolescents
Fear-of-missing-out (FOMO) refers to feelings of anxiety that arise from the realization that you may be missing out on rewarding experiences that others are having. FOMO can be identified as an intra-personal trait that drives people to stay up to date of what other people are doing, among others on social media platforms. Drawing from the findings of a large-scale survey study among 2663 Flemish teenagers, this study explores the relationships …
Mobile Media and Social Space
Using Giddens’ (1984) structuration theory we examine how social structures in mobile communication technologies shape the everyday life of individuals, thereby re-shaping power dynamics that underlie the social organization of society. We argue that the anytime, anyplace connectivity afforded by mobile communication technologies structures society by imposing a network, social and personal logic. We discuss how each logic both reproduces and cha…
Personal, editable, and always accessible
This study takes a perceived affordance approach to explain how differences in teenagers’ mobile messaging behavior associate with indicators of friendship maintenance behavior. Based on a survey among 1943 teenagers, a structural equation model was tested in which their appreciation of three main affordances of mobile messaging predicted the companionship and support that they derive from their friends through their instrumental and expressive m…
Sexting, Mobile Porn Use, and Peer Group Dynamics
There is considerable concern about adolescents producing, consuming, and distributing sexual materials via mobile phone communication. The purpose of this study was to examine key aspects of peer influence and the peer context in relation to two such practices: sexting and mobile porn use. The results of a high-school survey study (N = 1,943) revealed that 6% of Flemish teens (11–20 years of age) have sent a sext, while 9% use mobile porn. Teens…
