Parental mediation in the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) is a protective factor against adolescents' online risk behaviours. This study aimed to design an assessment scale of parental mediation referred by minors and to explore its structure and psychometric properties. A total of 560 secondary education students (47.5% girls) informed, in addition to parental mediation, about their habits of connection and online communication, privacy and risky online behaviour, and cyber-victimization. Data revealed a Parental Mediation Scale for ICTs (EMP-TIC) composed of 28 items distributed in five dimensions: active regulation, restrictive regulation, co-use, software monitoring and personal monitoring, which explain 55.98% of the variance. The dimensions of monitoring and co-use showed significant positive correlations with cyber-victimization. Higher scores in parental mediation are associated with greater privacy. The Parental Mediation Scale (EMP-TIC) structure is coherent to previous theoretical proposals. EMP-TIC shows adequate psychometric properties and provides information about the parental patterns in the use of ICTs. The scale can be used as a total score of parental mediation or for each of the five included domains. [Spanish translation by Mercè Rius.]

This study investigates the posting strategies of CEOs of Latin American companies on LinkedIn and their impact on engagement. It examines activity levels and types of presence, and engagement rates. Based on a quantitative analysis, the results reveal that executives in this region have a significantly lower frequency of posting on LinkedIn compared to the averages recommended by experts. Regarding the type of presence, CEOs are “content creators” and mainly post their own content. The engagement analysis shows discrepancies between own and hybrid posts. Due to the originality of own content, it receives better engagement rates than hybrid posts. The findings reveal that most Latin American CEOs adopt a “passive funnel” posting strategy on LinkedIn, which is characterized by low activity and own content. It is striking that CEOs with a more passive approach tend to have higher engagement rates compared to those with a more active approach. From these findings it is clear that, although authentic content generates interaction, CEOs should take advantage of the potential of shared publications, which are characterized by fostering dialogue based on content with diverse perspectives, a particular feature of the actors and institutions of the business environment. This research assesses the potential of CEOs as institutional communicators and provides methodological guidelines for academics and professionals in charge of the publication strategies of organizations and managers in the region.

The early presence of adolescents in social networks (SN) and their prolonged exposure to influencer advertising, a non-invasive tactic focused on short-term advertising objectives with influencers as the digital advertising system’s pillar, have placed them at risk. Evidence indicates hybridization in advertising (Feijoo et al., 2021; Feijoo, et al., 2023; Suárez-Álvarez and PastorRodríguez, 2023) and limited capabilities of the adolescent to recognize advertising if it is not signaled (Evans et al., 2017; Feijoo et al., 2021; Martins et al., 2023; Zozaya Durazo et al., 2022; Zozaya-Durazo and Sádaba-Chalezquer, 2022). This prevents him from activating a critical attitude toward advertising (Evans et al., 2017; Feijoo et al., 2021; Feijoo et al., 2023; Zozaya Durazo et al., 2022). Therefore, it is essential to understand how they interact, perceive, and respond to influencer advertising in SR. This study seeks to understand the response of Peruvian adolescents aged 11 to 17 years to influencer advertising on body and diet in SR, using a quantitative method, applying a representative survey to a sample of 1020 adolescents. The results indicate a significant volume of perceived advertising, and it is considered reasonable (52.25%), credible (45.91%), trustworthy (45.50%), and ethical (43.25%). They are the most valued leader dimension and a source of inspiration and motivation. Their emotional response is positive, and their attitude is receptive but less willing to interact. Finally, it is confirmed that the instructions and tips influence the attitude to see and read the content and the desire, likewise, the motivational phrases influence the intention to like it.

The main objective of the present study was to examine the relationship between Instagram addiction and objectified body awareness. The sample involved 248 Mexican participants, 68% women and 100% claimed to be users of the Instagram social network. Age ranged from 18 to 24 years, averaging 21 years. The methodology was quantitative and correlational, and contributors agreed to participate voluntarily. The participants showed a slightly above-average addiction to Instagram that correlated positively with factor 1 of the Self Objectification Scale, Self-vigilance, and negatively with factor 2 (Body shame). The present study showed that physical appearance is not significantly related to the use of Instagram and that, on the contrary, less body shame is associated with using this social network. Within the scope of this study, results suggest that using Instagram may bring advantages but also disadvantages, as social media can facilitate social support and the strengthening of self-concept. However, it is also possible for it to lead to self-exploitation. Therefore it is essential to make society aware of this app's moderate and safe use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research investigates the compositional transformations of a story that emerged on Twitter and ended as a novel published in book form. The stories Todo es bien and El otro Manuel fall into the fiction category. They were written by the same author, with the latter as a sequel to the work published on microblogging; however, these narratives were conceived for distinct media environments whose characteristics condition their composition. Pivoted on Mike Bal’s proposed analysis of narrative texts, we determined the impact of multimediality, interactivity, and other attributes of the digital environment on the traditional book form. A striking finding is the trade-off in the possibilities offered by Twitter through textual resources identified in the analog environment, such as intertexts, false interactions or dialogues, and transcriptions with a figurative intention.

Comments generated by users of online music streaming platforms have become an under-researched digital genre. We explore this field by analyzing the intensification devices of comments generated by the Spanish new generation singer Álvaro Soler’s Chinese fans. Based on a corpus composed of 1,646 comments collected from Netease Cloud Music and following a “coding and counting” approach, this article examines the usage of intensification strategies in these reviews and the most emphasized topics. Results from this study will reveal how Chinese fans use this pragmatic strategy to express emotions. In addition, their enthusiasm and interest are not limited to the star, but also extend to some linguistic and sociocultural aspects. This work provides an interesting contribution to the study of intensification, and shows Chinese teenagers’ perception of Spanish popular culture from a particular and innovative perspective.

In the knowledge society, digital environments have become an integral part of students' daily lives. Therefore, it is crucial to utilize web 2.0 in the teaching and learning process. In this educational experience, the integration of digital resources from the social web was explored as part of learning a specific academic topic in the classroom. The responsible individuals for designing, producing, and publishing these resources were Biochemistry and Pharmacy students in their fourth semester at an Ecuadorian university. As a result of this project, nine digital resources were created, with those related to social media being the most prominent. Additionally, positive and high ratings were obtained from the students, indicating their willingness to embrace the integration of digital resources in the social web. These findings provide practical guidelines and relevant considerations for enhancing education through the use of the social web, thereby benefiting the learning process of university students.

Functional Contextualism has been popularized recently because it is the philosophy of science on the root of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. However, few texts have described FC in detail, leading to multiple misunderstandings. Accordingly, this article aims to present FC and respond to some of the misunderstandings typically seen on this topic. FC is presented as an extension and evolution of Skinner’s radical behaviorism when seen as a contextual and pragmatic philosophy of the science of behavior. In so doing, we briefly describe the evolution of behaviorism and distinguish radical behaviorism from other types of behaviorism. We emphasize Skinner’s contextual and pragmatic thinking but also indicate that his philosophical standpoint evolved over time, which was associated with some inconsistencies in his position. This led to the coexistence of mechanistic and contextual views of behavior analysis. Precisely, FC originated as an attempt to describe the contextual and pragmatic Skinnerian thinking based on the world hypotheses suggested by Stephen Pepper. We describe the four scientifically valid world hypotheses and present contextualism in detail. FC is a form of contextualism whose pre-analytic objectives are to predict and influence psychological events with precision, scope, and depth. Lastly, we discuss some of the misunderstandings regarding FC that are typically seen in texts, conferences, trainings, and social media. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

New digital technologies have modified the way scientific knowledge is being communicated. This work intends to evaluate the impact of a socio-digital communication plan implemented for the journal Arqueología (Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires), designed to boost the distribution and outreach of published content in the digital ecosystem. We proposed a method to evaluate the journal's visibility in social networks, website user behavior and the impact of the published content from 2018 to 2022, based on different altmetric and bibliometric indicators. The results of said analysis show that the effects of the pandemic coupled with the implementation of a dissemination strategy increased the journal's visibility in social networks, which in turn produced an increase in the number of views and downloads of its papers. These findings highlight the importance of considering various types of online interaction to better understand the academic impact of scientific research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The management of digital external communication within the Catholic and Catholic-oriented University Libraries Network (BUCOC) is examined in terms of policies and plans. The professional training of individuals responsible for management, as well as collaborators involved in this task, is also explored. The results stem from a descriptive study of a non-experimental design, specifically of a transectional type, conducted from July 2020 through January 2022. In conclusion, there is limited evidence of the development of management documents for organizational communication. The training of collaborators appears to be more focused on social media management and digital marketing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research combines a quantitative methodology with a qualitative one to outline trends in the informational consumption of youth, but also in the informational production of those beginning their journey in the journalism profession. It is observed that the younger generations prioritize social media over traditional media, although they are critical of their operating logics and demonstrate derived phenomena such as News Find Me, oversaturation, news avoidance, or disinformation.

In the digital era, the uilisaion of social media strategies has become a common pracice to achieve communicaion and branding objecives across various organisaions. This quanitaive study, adoping an experimental methodology, focuses on the hospital sector, where it has been observed that social media engagement is directly related to the quality of paient experience, and the corporate reputaion and brand recogniion of hospitals. The purpose of this research is to develop and validate a muli-criteria evaluaion model of hospitals' use of social media to discover the factors that enhance paient engagement and, consequently, the corporate reputaion of these eniies. For this purpose, a systemaic literature review is conducted, an expert judgement assessment is carried out to validate the indicators used in the proposed model, and a content analysis of 2758 posts from 10 Spanish hospitals on Instagram and LinkedIn networks is performed. The results reveal that the indicators influencing engagement vary according to the plaform. On Instagram, the format and type of content, as well as the informaion provided are the most determinant factors. On the other hand, on LinkedIn, the informaion and the number of followers are the aspects that most impact paricipaion. The robustness of this model contributes, both theoreically and pracically, to the understanding of the factors of the hospitals' brand content that simulate social media engagement. Furthermore, it provides guidelines for communicaion and brand managers to efficiently manage the content markeing strategy on Instagram and LinkedIn. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main objective of this research focuses on studying the political discourse of the 75 candidates who participated in the Spanish regional elections held on May 28, 2023, in twelve autonomous communities. The aim is to determine the possible alignment or disconnection of the political agenda of these regional candidates with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) proposed by the UN in the 2030 Agenda. These global goals are key elements of sustainable communication and responsible leadership, as they are focused on overcoming the multiple global challenges humanity faces today. To achieve this goal, a mixed methodology was chosen, consisting of a quantitative analysis, of a descriptive nature, and a discourse analysis -- qualitative method. The FanPage Karma tool allowed monitoring a total of 190 official accounts of regional candidates on Facebook, X, Instagram, and TikTok. After eliminating duplicates and selecting only those posts that explicitly mentioned the SDGs, the sample consisted of a total of n=1,523 unique messages, which were processed with MeaningCloud for sentiment analysis. The results show that most posts focus on decent work and economic growth (SDG 8), sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11), and global partnerships (SDG 17). On the other hand, hunger (SDG 2), health and well-being (SDG 3), and responsible consumption and production (SDG 12) are the least visible topics. The most proactive politicians in sustainable communication were Pablo Zuloaga, the PSOE candidate for the Parliament of Cantabria, and Juan Lobato, the PSOE candidate for the Assembly of Madrid. In contrast, Leticia Díaz, Vox's candidate for the Parliament of Cantabria, and Alejandra Jacinto, Podemos' candidate for the Assembly of Madrid, were the least proactive. In conclusion, although fewer than half of the messages from regional candidates mention the 2030 Agenda, sustainable messages related to governance, transparency, or social policies generate much more engagement than those related to environmental policies.

The article analyzes how refugee communities in Lesbos are using art and social media to fight against the restrictive laws imposed by state authorities. The social media movement "Now you see me Moria" and the art project "Hope Art Project" are mentioned as examples of this visual and digital struggle. The project has allowed refugee artists to express their own stories and break away from the dehumanized representation of refugees in the media and politics. The campaign "Now you see me Moria" is also highlighted, which uses mobile phones and social media to make visible the inhumane conditions in refugee camps and demand respect for the rights of refugees.

Since he began his solo career, Puerto Rican singer Enrique Martín Morales (1971-), known artistically as Ricky Martin, kept his private sphere away from the media. However, on March 29, 2010, and after several years of speculation by the press, he publicly accepted his homosexuality. In his autobiography, titled Me (2010), he outlines the process of internalizing his sexual orientation and subsequently announcing it through social media. In the context of the shame/pride binomial, the aim is to analyze the discourses of rejection/acceptance that underlie the autobiography and assess their meanings. Likewise, the obstacles that public figures who express dissident sexualities must face and the benefits that their coming out brings to society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents the main results concerning the communication activity on the official Facebook page of the Directorate-General for Health (DGS, its Portuguese acronym), of the Portuguese Ministry of Health, during the Covid-19 pandemic. The DGS, as the main communicator on health matters, played a seminal role in the fight against Covid-19 through the guidance and clarification of citizens. Therefore, this analysis is focused in one of the most critical periods of the pandemic, 03/02/2020 - 12/27/2020, estimating a sum of 1,199 publications made. One of the main issues discussed relates to the health literacy levels in Portugal; its impact on individuals' decision-making process concerning their own health; ultimately how health literacy can be used as a strategy to eradicate and prevent future health crisis situations. The main results of this study emphasize that the Portuguese health authorities started using social media as an important means to convey health information to the population.

We live in an image society, where the use of iconic and visual devices has gained strength. Furthermore, it is a society where citizens produce their own content and circulate it through their social media channels, disseminating ideas, philosophies, thoughts and, in some cases, misinformation. From there arises memetics, the subject of the study, and its insertion into the contemporary media ecosystem, since memetics and massive misinformation result from the media ecology in which we currently live. For the article, we basically worked with bibliographic research and, from that, we developed a reflection on memetics in the contemporary media ecosystem, as well as its potential connection with misinformation. We hope that the article, which has an exploratory nature, can offer support for various other investigations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The use of TikTok in political campaigns has become a global and local trend because it makes it cheaper to finance candidates and allows the exploration of multimedia formats. The article intends to analyze the use of this social media platform in the regional elections of Colombia during 2023, hypothesizing that regardless of the geographical context, it influenced the election of the winning candidates and strengthened the theoretical position of the interface laws. The methodology takes as a corpus the number of followers and TikTok videos made by the two candidates with the highest number of votes in each of Colombia's 32 departments and capitals. The method integrates two strategies: a descriptive analysis of social media that evidences the cases in which the winning candidate had more followers or communicative pieces on TikTok and a canonical correlation analysis that establishes the relationship between the use of the platform and the country's geographical areas. The discussion suggests that TikTok has become a fundamental tool for political campaigns that transcend territory and that this trend will continue to rise due to the uniqueness of its algorithm and the diversity of offers for user interaction. The article contributes to the literature on electoral campaigns, TikTok interface, and influence in territorial contexts. Finally, we propose a research agenda that delves into the transformations of this phenomenon for pop-political culture and social emotions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Chief executive officers have transformed into social CEOs, discovering a new avenue on social media for dialogue and interaction with their audiences. This research makes a significant contribution to the field as it aims to analyze CEOs' presence and activity on social media. It provides a detailed comparison of the differences and similarities between CEOs of global and Latin American companies, based on the Fortune Global 500 and América Economía 500 rankings, respectively. We identified 537 social media profiles of 1,029 CEOs and studied 23,549 own and shared publications on LinkedIn, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube. CEOs have significantly increased their presence on social media in recent years, with most having active profiles but low publication volumes. LinkedIn emerges as the favored platform for CEOs. American (globally) and Brazilian (at the Latin American level) CEOs lead the pack in social networking activities. Despite some areas for improvement, CEOs have shown progress in their social media engagement compared to the publication levels observed in other studies and sectors. The article offers academics and professionals a comprehensive overview of the presence and activity of CEOs on social platforms. It also presents methodological guidelines for future research and outlines three types of social CEOs: active, moderate, and passive. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The research aimed to identify the behavior of organizations promoting vaccine rejection through Facebook in the context of the Covid-19 vaccination campaign. To achieve the study's purpose, the posts with the highest number of reactions on Facebook were observed and analyzed, as well as the content of these posts and the ways in which anti-vaccine organizations presented their messages on their fan pages. A digital social listening tool was used to analyze the data, providing information on the ranking of published messages, interactions reached, and sentiment assessments. The research found that anti-vaccine organizations used Facebook as one of the communication channels to disseminate messages that contradicted health measures, questioned the legality of vaccination, and opposed the use of masks. In other words, this social network served as a platform to spread messages that distorted the truth of the facts and encouraged various actions against vaccination campaigns. Therefore, during the Covid-19 pandemic, this social network became a crucial information medium for the population, but it was also the most used medium by anti-vaccine organizations to spread misinformation and generate negative emotions among users, ultimately eroding their trust.

Social media networks, especially those where the use of images plays a key role, are a fundamental tool for fashion brands to be perceived as sustainable. The purpose of the present investigation is to analyze the elements and colors used by the 10 fashion corporations with the highest scores in the sustainability rankings when they share photographs and illustrations to Instagram and analyze the differences between publications related to sustainability and those that are not. Based on the history of posts from the 61 brands that make up these 10 corporations (277,955), those that include a term related to sustainability were identified, obtaining a sample of 12,639 publications. Next, an automatized image recognition was made using the Python Inception V3 library and the colors used were analyzed using the PIL and colorsys libraries. Even though clothing and footwear are the elements most frequently displayed when choosing a single image, in half of the cases the brands combine various types of images to reinforce the sustainable message with images of nature, sport, animals or food. In sustainable content, this trend is more pronounced in a communication strategy aimed at reducing the prominence of the final article, subjected to an industrial manufacturing process, and providing a more benevolent context from the point of view of sustainability. In addition, there are chromatic differences between sustainable content and those that are not. In all cases, the most used color is red, but in sustainable content the presence of cyan and green increases, closely linked to images of nature and landscapes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
