The impact of social media on sleep journals: analyzing the correlation between altmetrics and citation count.

The assessment of scientific articles is essential for making informed decisions regarding promotion, tenure, and funding, as well as for identifying influential research within a specific field. Traditional metrics like citation count have been the standard for evaluating the reach and influence of publications, but they have limitations. A new web-based metric-the Altmetric Attention Score (AAS)-offers a dynamic analysis of online engagement through social media platforms, including X (Formerly Twitter), Facebook, and YouTube. This study primarily examines the role of X activity in shaping AAS and explores its correlation with traditional citation counts in sleep medicine journals. The study included articles from the top 10 sleep journals ranked by impact factor, focusing on articles published in 2020 and 2021. Data on citation counts were extracted from Journal Citation Reports (JCR), while AAS data were retrieved from the Altmetrics website. The analysis primarily focused on X activity as a proxy for online engagement. Pearson's and Spearman's correlations were used to evaluate the relationship between AAS, citation counts, and X activity. Statistical analysis was conducted using R software. A total of 3,944 articles were analyzed. The average AAS was 20, with a median of 2. A weak but statistically significant positive correlation (r = 0.22, P < 0.001) was observed between AAS and citation counts. X activity showed a strong correlation with AAS (r = 0.65, P < 0.001), but only a weak correlation with citation counts (r = 0.16, P < 0.001). This study highlights the strong relationship between X activity and AAS, emphasizing X's role in influencing Altmetric scores. However, the weaker correlation between AAS and citation counts implies that while AAS may measure immediate online attention, it is not always a reliable predictor of long-term academic impact.

The Influence of Film and Television Works on Feminism

In recent years, the film and television industry has developed rapidly, and the stereotypes portrayed in film and television works have a huge impact on people’s image preferences. As women become increasingly important in society, they still appear in an unequal image in current electronic media. This article explores the impact of unequal images on people and the challenges women face today through questionnaire surveys and interviews, combined with literature analysis. Research has found that the public does not believe that women have equal status and that female images in film and television works are sufficiently realistic. The media always promotes feminism to the public in a negative way, which makes it difficult to see the impact of media attention on the current reality of feminism. Displaying authentic female images to guide public attention to the challenges faced by women is an appropriate way to improve current movies and TV dramas. Many papers have discussed the impact of feminism on the media, and this paper will discuss the impact of media on feminism from a global feminist perspective. This study will provide reference value for gender equality issues and women’s work environment, and provide reference suggestions for the development of the film and television production industry.

Impact of multi-platform social media news use on civic participation: the mediating role of news engagement and the moderated mediation effect of news trust

ABSTRACT This study examined the effect of multi-platform social media news use in a digital media environment, leading to civic participation through news engagement. It also explored how these indirect effects vary depending on the level of news trust. To this end, 45,011 responses from adults nationwide were analyzed using the 2022 Media Users in Korea data by the Korea Press Foundation. First, it determined that the level of diversity in news media use in the digital environment promotes civic participation. Second, multi-platform news use fostered civic participation via news engagements. Third, the indirect effect of news engagement between multi-platform news and civic participation depends on the level of news trust. This underscores the significance of varied media consumption and trust in promoting civic engagement, with higher levels of news engagement acting as a crucial mechanism by which multi-platform news use leads to greater participation. Specifically, when users trust the news they consume, a combination of diverse news sources and increased engagement significantly enhances their involvement in civic activities, highlighting the roles of both news engagement and trust in enhancing the impact of digital media on civic participation.

Investment behavior in the Egyptian stock market: The impact of social media on investor decision-making

Social media significantly influences investor behavior, particularly in emerging markets like the Egyptian stock market. This study examines its impact on trading frequency, herding behavior, and overconfidence among Egyptian investors. Data were collected through a structured survey of 300 active investors, distributed via two prominent Facebook pages: “The Popular Union of Investors in the Egyptian Stock Market” and “Investment in the Egyptian Stock Market.” The sample was determined using Cochran’s formula for large, undefined populations, achieving a 78% response rate from the 385 recommended respondents. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, utilizing correlation tests and regression analysis to assess relationships between social media engagement and investor behavior.Findings indicate that social media usage significantly increases trading frequency, as investors make more reactive decisions based on rapidly available information. Herding behavior is also positively associated with social media engagement, demonstrating that investors tend to follow market trends and decisions discussed in online communities. Additionally, social media exposure fosters overconfidence, leading to increased risk-taking behavior. These insights highlight the critical role of social media in shaping investor behavior, with practical implications for regulators, financial advisors, and individual investors. Regulators should promote investor education on the cognitive biases linked to social media engagement, while financial advisors must address its influence on client decision-making. Future research should explore platform-specific features, such as visual content and influencer-driven financial advice, to better understand their effects on investment strategies.

The Relationship Between Healthcare System Distrust and Intention to Use Violence Against Health Professionals: The Mediating Role of Health News Perceptions.

Health news refers to media coverage that informs the public about health-related issues, policies and healthcare systems, shaping public perception and understanding. While prior research has examined media's impact on public health behaviour, limited studies have focused on how perceptions of health news affect attitudes towards healthcare professionals, especially in the context of violence against them. This study addresses this gap, examining the mediating role perception of health news on the relationship between distrust in healthcare systems and intentions to use violence against healthcare professionals. This research aims to explore how the perception of health news influences the relationship between distrust in healthcare systems and the intention to use violence against healthcare professionals. A survey was conducted with 693 participants over the age of 18 who had received healthcare services in the last year. The study utilized an intermediary model to assess the role of perception of health news in the relationship between distrust in the healthcare system and the intention to use violence against healthcare professionals. The findings indicate a positive correlation between distrust in healthcare systems and the intention to use violence against healthcare professionals. Additionally, the perception of health news was found to significantly mediate this relationship. The study concludes that negative perceptions of healthcare systems, exacerbated by the portrayal of health news, can escalate the risk of violence against healthcare professionals. There was no direct patient or public involvement in the design, conduct, reporting, or dissemination plans of this research. The study primarily relied on data collected through surveys and questionnaires administered to participants. Although the research addresses issues pertinent to the public and healthcare professionals, such as violence against healthcare professionals and the role of media in shaping public perceptions, the public's role was limited to responding to the survey. The findings and implications of this research are intended to benefit the public and healthcare community by informing future strategies and interventions, but the public did not actively contribute to the research process itself.

Impact of social media on triggering nonsuicidal self-injury in adolescents: a comparative ambulatory assessment study

BackgroundNonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a prevalent and concerning behavior among adolescents, often triggered by negative interpersonal events. As social media is essential in the daily life of adolescents, gaining a better understanding of the impact of negative online events on NSSI urges and behaviors, distinct from that of real-life events, is warranted.MethodsWe recruited 25 adolescents with a history of NSSI and 25 healthy controls. Participants reported on their stress, affect, and NSSI urges four times daily over seven days using ambulatory assessment. We examined the immediate effects of negative events in real-life and on social media on these psychological outcomes.ResultsIn adolescents who engage in NSSI, negative events on social media were positively associated with perceived stress, negative affect, and NSSI urges to a greater extent than real-life negative events. However, NSSI events during the sampling period were mostly triggered by real-life events. While the frequency of social media use was generally similar between groups, those with NSSI reported experiencing more negative events on social media.ConclusionsOur findings highlight the significant impact of social media on the mental health of adolescents who engage in NSSI, possibly exacerbating stress and negative affect more than real-life events. These results underscore the need for targeted interventions addressing online interactions to mitigate NSSI behaviors and improve adolescent mental health.Trial registrationThis study has been registered at the German Clinical Trials Register (ID: DRKS00025905, https://drks.de/search/en/trial/DRKS00025905).

The Impact of Social Media on Social Behaviour: A Double-Edged Sword

Social media has changed how people interact and behave in society. It allows individuals to stay connected across distances and maintain relationships. It also acts as a platform for raising awareness and supporting movements like #MeToo. People use it to learn new skills, gain knowledge, and express their creativity. However, its effects are not entirely positive. Overuse of these platforms has reduced face-to-face communication and weakened personal connections. Many users experience anxiety and low confidence due to constant comparisons with others. The spread of false information has led to confusion and division among groups. Online harassment has caused emotional harm, while concerns about privacy and data misuse continue to grow. This paper studies how social media influences behaviour and examines its benefits and challenges. It highlights the need for responsible usage and better strategies to reduce its negative effects

The Impact of Social Media on Anxiety and Self-Esteem Among University Students

Abstract: Social media has become an integral part of daily life, particularly among university students, significantly influencing the psychological well-being of its users. Its pervasive presence offers a platform for communication, self-expression, and community building, yet it also introduces challenges that impact mental health. This research paper delves into the nuanced effects of social media on anxiety and self-esteem among university students, a demographic particularly susceptible to its influence. By analyzing patterns of usage and their psychological ramifications, this research investigates both the positive and negative psychological effects of social media usage on university students. Drawing from both primary data and an extensive review of existing literature, this study examines the intricate relationship between social media usage patterns, anxiety prevalence, and self-esteem fluctuations. The research identifies that excessive engagement with social media correlates strongly with heightened anxiety levels and diminished self-esteem. However, the findings also suggest that when used mindfully and in moderation, social media can serve as a neutral or even positive tool for social connection and self-enhancement, highlighting the complexity of its impact. The implications of these findings underscore the urgency for action. University policies and individual awareness campaigns must prioritize fostering healthier social media habits among students. By promoting digital literacy, encouraging balanced usage, and providing support for mental health challenges, institutions can empower students to navigate the digital landscape more effectively. This paper aims to contribute to the growing discourse on the need for a mindful approach to social media usage, ensuring its benefits are maximized while its risks are mitigated.
