Mass Media Versus Social Media

The State of Social Media

Media is the plural of medium and is a broad term that may refer to mass communication forms such as print (including newspapers and magazines), radio and television broadcasting, advertising, photography, and cinema.

Unlike mass media, social media function in a dialogic manner (many sources to many receivers) while mass media function in a monologic manner (one source to many receivers). There are other important differences as well.

In your initial discussion post, please address each of the following elements:

• Describe at least three additional factors that distinguish social media from mass media.
• Locate a credible timeline of social media and add an active hyperlink to that source in your initial post so others may click on the link and view your timeline. For guidance, ask your DA “How to create an active hyperlink” or “YouTube videos on creating active hyperlinks.”
  • How did this timeline get your attention?
  • What about this timeline do you find engaging? If it was not engaging to you, what was missing?
• Locate a website credibility checklist and select one for use in this discussion. Add an active hyperlink to that source in your initial post so others may click on the link and view your checklist.
  • Does the social media timeline you used in this discussion meet the criteria for online credibility per your checklist? Why or why not?
• Why is credibility a critical aspect of social media?

Be sure to incorporate course readings and other reliable resources as supportive evidence in your discussion. For guidance, refer to the APA Example Sheet linked in Resources or APA Style and Format on Campus.

PSYC2210 UNIT 1 DISCUSSION2

Motivations for Using Social Media

Motivation is an important psychological construct that attempts to explain behavior. It is also very relevant to our understanding of the use and popularity of social media.

We can examine motivation for using social media from several perspectives:

• Intentions (good uses versus bad uses).
• Consequences (benefits versus risks).
• Domains (psychological or psychosocial versus biological).

Behavior can result from a cluster of motivations that occur at the same time. For example, Joe may make a post on Facebook to embarrass Fred (bad intention) and see this as personally advantageous (benefit) to him socially because others may enjoy seeing Fred embarrassed online. Joe may also get a minor rush of adrenaline (biological) if he experiences his actions as exciting or thrilling (psychological). In this case, we may say that Joe’s Facebook post involved multiple motivations.

In this discussion, review research from the Capella library, the Facebook page for this course, and articles found by using your DA, then discuss the following:

• What are the major motivations for use of social media?
• How do motivations for social media use vary with respect to user age, gender, culture, or country of origin? Provide some examples.
• How does an understanding of motivations for social media use inform the development of social media platforms and marketing efforts?

Be sure to incorporate course readings and other reliable resources as supportive evidence in your discussion. For guidance, refer to the APA Example Sheet linked in Resources or APA Style and Format on Campus.

PSYC2700 UNIT 1 DISCUSSION 1

Over the next two weeks, we will be discussing prenatal to toddlerhood stages of development. Using Yellowdig, please get the discussion started. Please create pins of 50–60 words. Use one of the following recommended conversation starters or pin ideas:

• Find a video from one of the classic childhood studies (Piaget, Harlow’s monkeys, Bandura’s Bobo doll, strange situation test, Sally-Anne task, visual cliff experiment, little Albert experiment, Wug test, marshmallow test, et cetera). Include a link to the video.
  • Share what conclusions you would make as a researcher after watching the video. What led you to those conclusions? How would you apply this in a real-life scenario?
  • Include a hashtag for the study, for example #harlowmonkey, #piaget, #bobodoll.
• Find a video of an infant or toddler that exhibits typical behavior expected of that stage of development. Share a link to the video.
  • Share which development theories would explain the behaviors you see. What characteristics led you to the theory you identified? How might this information be valuable in providing guidance to a parent or teacher? 
  • Include a hashtag for the theory, for example #erickson, #piaget.
• Locate an article on development from prenatal to toddlerhood, either through the Capella library or online from a reputable source. 
  • Share the link and describe how this article supports what you have learned in class so far. Make a connection between what you read and your personal experience with children at that stage of development. How does this information support your intended work in the field? 
  • Include a hashtag for your article topic or the idea supported.
