    Citizen (in)security?: social media, citizen journalism and crisis response
    (The Pennsylvania State University, 2014) Watson, Hayley; Finn, Rachel L.; Scifo, Salvatore; Department of Media and Visual Arts; Department of Media and Visual Arts; Baruh, Lemi; Faculty Member; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 36113
    The use of social media in a crisis has been applauded, and is witnessing an increase in uptake among those involved in crisis management activities, including citizens. Whilst some challenges have been discussed elsewhere, somewhat lacking is a discussion on the impact of sharing information on the security of those that may have been recorded. Accordingly, this working paper aims to provide preliminary results of an initial mapping task that seeks to examine the impact of the use of social media in a crisis on the social and ethical wellbeing of the security of the citizen. Authors argue that the heightened involvement of citizen journalism results in the filtering of information after its online publication which raises concerns relating to the dissemination of false information and a threat to an individual's privacy. Such issues should be adequately addressed in the encouragement and use of citizen contributions in crisis response.

    People use spatial metaphors to talk about temporal concepts. They also gesture frequently during speech. The characteristics of these gestures give information regarding the mental timelines people form to experience time. The present study investigates the expression of temporal concepts on a natural setting with Turkish speakers. We found that Turkish speakers used more metaphoric temporal phrases (e.g., short period, time flies quickly) than words referring to time without spatial content (e.g., today, nowadays) in a session where they talked about people's fortune. Spontaneous gestures were mainly classified as metaphoric and beat gestures and were mostly produced on the sagittal axis, which contradicts with the previous findings. Yet, we also found that people used vertical axis to represent current and future events. These findings suggest that lateral axis may not always be the most common direction for co-speech temporal gesture use, and the pragmatic constraints of the environment may influence the spatial conceptualization of time.

    First impressions on social network sites: impact of self-disclosure breadth on attraction
    (Academic Conferences and Publishing International Limited, 2017) Bisson, Christophe; Chisik, Yoram; Department of Media and Visual Arts; Department of Psychology; Department of Media and Visual Arts; Department of Psychology; Baruh, Lemi; Cemalcılar, Zeynep; Faculty Member; Faculty Member; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 36113; 40374
    This paper reports the results of two experiments that investigate the relationship between the quantity of information disclosed on an SNS profile and profile viewers' first impressions of the profile owner. Both experiments utilized a 2 (low quantity of information vs. high quantity of information) by 2 (male vs. female profile) design. In the first experiment (n = 1059), the respondents were randomly assigned to the experimental conditions. The results showed that profile viewers were more favorable to profiles of women. Also, both for female and male SNS profiles, higher quantity of information led to more positive ratings of the profile owner. The second experiment expanded the findings from the first experiment in two ways. First, in the second experiment (n = 320), rather than being randomly assigned to the profile gender condition, the respondents could pick the gender of the profile they would review. Second, informed by previous research on face to face interactions which indicate that quantity of self-disclosure can increase interpersonal attraction by reducing the level of uncertainty about relational outcomes, we tested whether uncertainty reduction mediated the relationship between quantity of information presented in an SNS profile and interpersonal attraction. Female profiles were selected more often than male profiles by both female and male respondents; however, there was no difference in interpersonal attraction ratings that male and female profiles received. Higher quantity of information presented in an SNS profile had a significant impact on interpersonal attraction. The results from the second experiment also indicated that while quantity of information positively influenced profile viewers' perceptions regarding the agreeableness of the profile owner, it did not have an impact on viewers' perceptions regarding the dependability of the profile owner. As predicted, the impact of quantity of information on interpersonal attraction was mediated by a reduction in uncertainty levels.
