ProjectÔ - Social Acceptance Studies - Dataset
<p>This dataset has been collected as part of the EU-funded ProjectÔ within WP6 and has been analysed in <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7577225">D6.13 Social Acceptance Studies</a>.</p> <p>The social acceptance research was designed to inform the implementation of the Project Ô water treatment innovations in four countries: Spain, Croatia, Italy, and Israel. Indeed, the data collection undertaken in each of these locations primarily focussed on attitudes toward the technology-based innovations for water treatment being implemented in respondents’ local Project Ô demosite. Further background information was collected through these studies to identify factors affecting social acceptance in each demonstration site’s region. The social acceptance research for the project was designed and implemented by the Institute for Methods Innovation, one of the Project Ô partners, and the Work Package 6 lead.</p> <p>To measure these attitudes, an explainer video of Project Ô’s implementation of innovative water treatment technologies focusing on the project’s innovation work in the respondents’ country was produced. The survey design used in these studies measured key aspects of local views about local Project Ô innovation plans for water reuse, circular water economy, and related issues. To understand their background views relevant to water reuse, respondents were asked about their local water consumption patterns, their perceptions of the local water supply, and their familiarity with water treatment technology. To understand differences in perceptions about environmental factors, respondents were asked to indicate their views related to different aspects of environmental attitudes relevant to water treatment innovations. This is important for clarifying drivers of social acceptance of new water treatment solutions. Finally, to understand the role of trust towards science and technology, scientists and engineers, and the European Commission in social acceptance of Project Ô’s innovation work.</p>
Albero study: a longitudinal database of the social network and personal networks of a cohort of students at the end of high school
<p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p> <p>The Albero study analyzes the personal transitions of a cohort of high school students at the end of their studies. The data consist of (a) the longitudinal social network of the students, before (n = 69) and after (n = 57) finishing their studies; and (b) the longitudinal study of the personal networks of each of the participants in the research. The two observations of the complete social network are presented in two matrices in Excel format. For each respondent, two square matrices of 45 alters of their personal networks are provided, also in Excel format. For each respondent, both psychological sense of community and frequency of commuting is provided in a SAV file (SPSS). The database allows the combined analysis of social networks and personal networks of the same set of individuals.</p> <p><strong>INTRODUCTION</strong></p> <p>Ecological transitions are key moments in the life of an individual that occur as a result of a change of role or context. This is the case, for example, of the completion of high school studies, when young people start their university studies or try to enter the labor market. These transitions are turning points that carry a risk or an opportunity (Seidman & French, 2004). That is why they have received special attention in research and psychological practice, both from a developmental point of view and in the situational analysis of stress or in the implementation of preventive strategies.</p> <p>The data we present in this article describe the ecological transition of a group of young people from Alcala de Guadaira, a town located about 16 kilometers from Seville. Specifically, in the “Albero” study we monitored the transition of a cohort of secondary school students at the end of the last pre-university academic year. It is a turning point in which most of them began a metropolitan lifestyle, with more displacements to the capital and a slight decrease in identification with the place of residence (Maya-Jariego, Holgado & Lubbers, 2018).</p> <p>Normative transitions, such as the completion of studies, affect a group of individuals simultaneously, so they can be analyzed both individually and collectively. From an individual point of view, each student stops attending the institute, which is replaced by new interaction contexts. Consequently, the structure and composition of their personal networks are transformed. From a collective point of view, the network of friendships of the cohort of high school students enters into a gradual process of disintegration and fragmentation into subgroups (Maya-Jariego, Lubbers & Molina, 2019).</p> <p>These two levels, individual and collective, were evaluated in the “Albero” study. One of the peculiarities of this database is that we combine the analysis of a complete social network with a survey of personal networks in the same set of individuals, with a longitudinal design before and after finishing high school. This allows combining the study of the multiple contexts in which each individual participates, assessed through the analysis of a sample of personal networks (Maya-Jariego, 2018), with the in-depth analysis of a specific context (the relationships between a promotion of students in the institute), through the analysis of the complete network of interactions. This potentially allows us to examine the covariation of the social network with the individual differences in the structure of personal networks.</p> <p><strong>PARTICIPANTS</strong></p> <p>The social network and personal networks of the students of the last two years of high school of an institute of Alcala de Guadaira (Seville) were analyzed. The longitudinal follow-up covered approximately a year and a half. The first wave was composed of 31 men (44.9%) and 38 women (55.1%) who live in Alcala de Guadaira, and who mostly expect to live in Alcala (36.2%) or in Seville (37.7%) in the future. In the second wave, information was obtained from 27 men (47.4%) and 30 women (52.6%).</p> <p><strong>DATE STRUCTURE AND ARCHIVES FORMAT</strong></p> <p>The data is organized in two longitudinal observations, with information on the complete social network of the cohort of students of the last year, the personal networks of each individual and complementary information on the sense of community and frequency of metropolitan movements, among other variables.</p> <p><strong>Social network</strong></p> <p>The file “Red_Social_t1.xlsx” is a valued matrix of 69 actors that gathers the relations of knowledge and friendship between the cohort of students of the last year of high school in the first observation. The file “Red_Social_t2.xlsx” is a valued matrix of 57 actors obtained 17 months after the first observation.</p> <p>The data is organized in two longitudinal observations, with information on the complete social network of the cohort of students of the last year, the personal networks of each individual and complementary information on the sense of community and frequency of metropolitan movements, among other variables.</p> <p>In order to generate each complete social network, the list of 77 students enrolled in the last year of high school was passed to the respondents, asking that in each case they indicate the type of relationship, according to the following values: 1, “his/her name sounds familiar"; 2, "I know him/her"; 3, "we talk from time to time"; 4, "we have good relationship"; and 5, "we are friends." The two resulting complete networks are represented in Figure 2. In the second observation, it is a comparatively less dense network, reflecting the gradual disintegration process that the student group has initiated.</p> <p><strong>Personal networks</strong></p> <p>Also in this case the information is organized in two observations. The compressed file “Redes_Personales_t1.csv” includes 69 folders, corresponding to personal networks. Each folder includes a valued matrix of 45 alters in CSV format. Likewise, in each case a graphic representation of the network obtained with Visone (Brandes and Wagner, 2004) is included. Relationship values range from 0 (do not know each other) to 2 (know each other very well).</p> <p>Second, the compressed file “Redes_Personales_t2.csv” includes 57 folders, with the information equivalent to each respondent referred to the second observation, that is, 17 months after the first interview. The structure of the data is the same as in the first observation.</p> <p><strong>Sense of community and metropolitan displacements</strong></p> <p>The SPSS file “Albero.sav” collects the survey data, together with some information-summary of the network data related to each respondent. The 69 rows correspond to the 69 individuals interviewed, and the 118 columns to the variables related to each of them in T1 and T2, according to the following list:</p> <p> • Socio-economic data.</p> <p> • Data on habitual residence.</p> <p> • Information on intercity journeys.</p> <p> • Identity and sense of community.</p> <p> • Personal network indicators.</p> <p> • Social network indicators.</p> <p><strong>DATA ACCESS</strong></p> <p>Social networks and personal networks are available in CSV format. This allows its use directly with UCINET, Visone, Pajek or Gephi, among others, and they can be exported as Excel or text format files, to be used with other programs.</p> <p>The visual representation of the personal networks of the respondents in both waves is available in the following album of the <em>Graphic Gallery of Personal Networks</em> on Flickr: <<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/25906481@N07/albums/72157667029974755">https://www.flickr.com/photos/25906481@N07/albums/72157667029974755</a>>.</p> <p>In previous work we analyzed the effects of personal networks on the longitudinal evolution of the socio-centric network. It also includes additional details about the instruments applied. In case of using the data, please quote the following reference:</p> <ul> <li>Maya-Jariego, I., Holgado, D. & Lubbers, M. J. (2018).

In this way, we can examine the mutual dependence of individual trajectories and the structure of the relationships of the cohort of students as a whole. The complete social network corresponds to the same context of interaction: the secondary school. However, personal networks collect information from the different contexts in which the individual participates. The structural properties of personal networks may partly explain individual differences in the position of each student in the entire social network. In turn, the properties of the entire social network partly determine the structure of opportunities in which individual trajectories are displayed.</p> <p>The longitudinal character and the combination of the personal networks of individuals with a common complete social network, make this database have unique characteristics. It may be of interest both for multi-level analysis and for the study of individual differences.</p> <p><strong>ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS</strong></p> <p>The fieldwork for this study was supported by the Complementary Actions of the Ministry of Education and Science (SEJ2005-25683), and was part of the project “Dynamics of actors and networks across levels: individuals, groups, organizations and social settings” (2006 -2009) of the European Science Foundation (ESF).

The "social brain" is highly sensitive to the mere presence of social information: An automated meta-analysis and an independent study
<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p>How the human brain process social information is an increasingly researched topic in psychology and neuroscience, advancing our understanding of basic human cognition and psychopathologies. Neuroimaging studies typically seek to isolate one specific aspect of social cognition when trying to map its neural substrates. It is unclear if brain activation elicited by different social cognitive processes and task instructions are also spontaneously elicited by general social information. In this study, we investigated whether these brain regions are evoked by the mere presence of social information using an automated meta-analysis and confirmatory data from an independent study of simple appraisal of social vs. non-social images. Results of 1,000 published fMRI studies containing the keyword of “social” were subject to an automated meta-analysis (neurosynth.org). To confirm that significant brain regions in the meta-analysis were driven by a social effect, these brain regions were used as regions of interest (ROIs) to extract and compare BOLD fMRI signals of social vs. non-social conditions in the independent study. The NeuroSynth results indicated that the dorsal and ventral medial prefrontal cortex, posterior cingulate cortex, bilateral amygdala, bilateral occipito-temporal junction, right fusiform gyrus, bilateral temporal pole, and right inferior frontal gyrus are commonly engaged in studies with a prominent social element. The social – non-social contrast in the independent study showed a strong resemblance of the NeuroSynth map. ROI analyses revealed that a social effect was credible in 8 out of the 11 NeuroSynth regions in the independent dataset. The findings support that the “social brain” is highly sensitive to the mere presence of social information. </p>
How Confidence in Prior Attitudes, Social Tag Popularity, and Source Credibility Shape Confirmation Bias Toward Antidepressants and Psychotherapy in a Representative German Sample: Randomized Controlled Web-Based Study
<p>ABSTRACT</p> <p>Background: In health-related, Web-based information search, people should select information in line with expert (vs nonexpert) information, independent of their prior attitudes and consequent confirmation bias.</p> <p>Objective: This study aimed to investigate confirmation bias in mental health–related information search, particularly (1) if high confidence worsens confirmation bias, (2) if social tags eliminate the influence of prior attitudes, and (3) if people successfully distinguish high and low source credibility.</p> <p>Methods: In total, 520 participants of a representative sample of the German Web-based population were recruited via a panel company. Among them, 48.1% (250/520) participants completed the fully automated study. Participants provided <em>prior attitudes</em> about antidepressants and psychotherapy. We manipulated (1) <em>confidence</em> in prior attitudes when participants searched for blog posts about the treatment of depression, (2) <em>tag popularity</em> —either psychotherapy or antidepressant tags were more popular, and (3) <em>source credibility</em> with banners indicating high or low expertise of the tagging community. We measured <em>tag</em> and <em>blog post</em> selection, and <em>treatment</em><em>efficacy ratings</em> after navigation.</p> <p>Results: Tag popularity predicted the proportion of selected antidepressant tags (beta=.44, SE 0.11; <em>P</em><.001) and blog posts (beta=.46, SE 0.11; <em>P</em><.001). When confidence was low (−1 SD), participants selected more blog posts consistent with prior attitudes (beta=−.26, SE 0.05; <em>P</em><.001). Moreover, when confidence was low (−1 SD) and source credibility was high (+1 SD), the efficacy ratings of attitude-consistent treatments increased (beta=.34, SE 0.13; <em>P</em>=.01).</p> <p>Conclusions: We found correlational support for defense motivation account underlying confirmation bias in the mental health–related search context. That is, participants tended to select information that supported their prior attitudes, which is not in line with the current scientific evidence. Implications for presenting persuasive Web-based information are also discussed.</p> <p>Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03899168; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03899168 (Archived by WebCite at http://www.webcitation.org/77Nyot3Do)</p> <p>J Med Internet Res 2019;21(4):e11081</p> <p>doi:10.2196/11081</p>
Confirmation Bias in Web-Based Search: A Randomized Online Study on the Effects of Expert Information and Social Tags on Information Search and Evaluation
<p>ABSTRACT</p> <p>Background: The public typically believes psychotherapy to be more effective than pharmacotherapy for depression treatments. This is not consistent with current scientific evidence, which shows that both types of treatment are about equally effective.</p> <p>Objective: The study investigates whether this bias towards psychotherapy guides online information search and whether the bias can be reduced by explicitly providing expert information (in a blog entry) and by providing tag clouds that implicitly reveal experts’ evaluations.</p> <p>Methods: A total of 174 participants completed a fully automated Web-based study after we invited them via mailing lists. First, participants read two blog posts by experts that either challenged or supported the bias towards psychotherapy. Subsequently, participants searched for information about depression treatment in an online environment that provided more experts’ blog posts about the effectiveness of treatments based on alleged research findings. These blogs were organized in a tag cloud; both psychotherapy tags and pharmacotherapy tags were popular. We measured tag and blog post selection, efficacy ratings of the presented treatments, and participants’ treatment recommendation after information search.</p> <p>Results: Participants demonstrated a clear bias towards psychotherapy (mean 4.53, SD 1.99) compared to pharmacotherapy (mean 2.73, SD 2.41; <em>t</em><sub>173</sub>=7.67, <em>P</em><.001, <em>d</em>=0.81) when rating treatment efficacy prior to the experiment. Accordingly, participants exhibited biased information search and evaluation. This bias was significantly reduced, however, when participants were exposed to tag clouds with challenging popular tags. Participants facing popular tags challenging their bias (n=61) showed significantly less biased tag selection (<em>F</em><sub>2,168</sub>=10.61, <em>P</em><.001, partial eta squared=0.112), blog post selection (<em>F</em><sub>2,168</sub>=6.55, <em>P</em>=.002, partial eta squared=0.072), and treatment efficacy ratings (<em>F</em><sub>2,168</sub>=8.48, <em>P</em><.001, partial eta squared=0.092), compared to bias-supporting tag clouds (n=56) and balanced tag clouds (n=57). Challenging (n=93) explicit expert information as presented in blog posts, compared to supporting expert information (n=81), decreased the bias in information search with regard to blog post selection (<em>F</em><sub>1,168</sub>=4.32, <em>P</em>=.04, partial eta squared=0.025). No significant effects were found for treatment recommendation (<em>P</em>s>.33).</p> <p>Conclusions: We conclude that the psychotherapy bias is most effectively attenuated—and even eliminated—when popular tags implicitly point to blog posts that challenge the widespread view. Explicit expert information (in a blog entry) was less successful in reducing biased information search and evaluation. Since tag clouds have the potential to counter biased information processing, we recommend their insertion.</p>
DATA FOR STUDY OF PRIVACY ATTITUDE OF USERS OF SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES AND THEIR EXPECTATIONS FROM LAW IN INDIA
<p>In the present study, on Indian population a disproportionate, stratified, purposive, convenience mixed sampling technique has been adopted in order to ensure proper representation of all the stakeholders concerned with regard to the issue of data privacy in India among the population of the study. The stratified sampling technique is popularly used for a large size population and where it is desirable to purposively have an adequate representation of the all the sub-groups. It is estimated that there are about 0.2 million Law Enforcement Officers (Directors General of Police to Assistant Sub- Inspector), 2.2 million Legal Professionals, including 21,586 Judges, 1.5 million Academicians, about 5000 Information Assurance and Privacy Experts, and 450 million Internet Users in India, out of which 196 million use SNSs. It may be clarified here that all these stakeholders are not only the users of social networking sites but also Indian citizens who are stakeholders in enactment and implementation of the privacy law as and when it is enacted.</p> <p>Based on the size of the total population, a statistically adequate sample size of 385, having a 95 per cent Confidence Level, 5 per cent Margin of Error (Confidence Interval), 0.5 Standard Deviation, a 1.96 Z-score was calculated.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
Does social information affect the settlement decisions of resident birds in their second breeding attempt? A case study of the Japanese tit (Parus minor)
<p>Individuals may gather information about environmental conditions when deciding where to breed in order to maximize their lifetime fitness. Many studies have shown that birds can rely on social information to select their nest site. The location of active nests and the reproductive success of conspecifics and heterospecifics can provide accurate predictions about the quality of the breeding habitat. Some short-lived species can facultatively reproduce two and/or more times within a breeding season. However, few studies have focused on how multiple-brooding individuals select nest sites for their second breeding attempts. In this study, we use long-term data to test whether the Japanese tit (<em>Parus</em> <em>minor</em>) can use social information from conspecifics and/or heterospecifics to select a nest site for the second breeding attempt. Our results showed that the nest boxes occupied by tits on their second breeding attempt tended to be surrounded by more breeding conspecific nests, first-breeding successful conspecific nests, and fewer first-breeding failed conspecific nests than the nest boxes that remained unoccupied (the control group). However, the numbers of breeding heterospecific nests, successful heterospecific nests, and failed heterospecific nests did not differ between the nest boxes occupied by tits on their second breeding attempt and the unoccupied nest boxes. Furthermore, the tits with local successful breeding experience tended to choose areas with more first-breeding successful conspecific nests than those without successful breeding experience. Thus, we suggest that conspecifics' but not heterospecifics' social information within the same breeding season is the major factor influencing the nest site selection of Japanese tits during second breeding attempts.</p>

Dataset of the study "Think globally, act locally": A glocal approach to old and new literacies for social media skills
<p>This Zenodo item contains the dataset of the study: Manca, S., Bocconi, S., & Gleason, B. (2020). “Think globally, act locally”. A glocal approach to old and new literacies for social media skills. Computers & Education.</p> <p>Abstract</p> <p>Despite the documented number of studies that investigate social media in teaching and learning settings, the topic of social media literacy is still an under-researched area. This study adopts the theoretical lens of New Literacy studies to suggest a combined perspective for investigating social media literacies. This perspective considers both social media skills that are transversal across different social media (global skills) or that pertain to a specific social media platform (local skills). It examines practices that are decontextualized (literacy as something to be acquired) or situated and context-dependent (literacy through participation). To map current research on social media skills, a systematic literature review was conducted. Analysis of 54 publications was carried out following the UNESCO DLGF framework for digital literacy competencies, and also using a critical lens based on four metaphors whereby, for learning purposes, social media are seen as a <em>tool</em>, as a <em>process</em>, as <em>collaboration</em>, and as <em>participation</em>. The results show that most of the studies consider global social media skills, while only a few examine skills sets specific to a particular social media platform. Besides, most of the identified skills concern decontextualized practices, with very few studies emphasizing the importance of fostering situated social media practices. We conclude that there is a need for more expansive theoretical elaboration in the field, and provide a number of recommendations for investigating, understanding, and designing educational curricula and activities that support the development of social media literacy.</p>
Epigenetic Profiling of Social Communication Trajectories and Co-occurring Mental Health Problems: A Prospective, Methylome-wide Association Study
<p>While previous studies suggest that both genetic and environmental factors play an important role in the development of autism-related traits, little is known about potential biological mechanisms underlying these associations. Using data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), we examined prospective associations between DNA methylation (DNAm: N-birth=804, N-age7=877) and trajectories of social communication deficits (8-17 years). Methylomic variation at three loci across the genome (false discovery rate=0.048) differentiated children following high (n=80) versus low (n=724) trajectories of social communication deficits. This differential DNAm was specific to the neonatal period and not observed at age 7. Associations between DNAm and trajectory membership remained robust after controlling for co-occurring mental health problems (i.e., hyperactivity/inattention, conduct problems). The three loci identified at birth were not replicated in the Generation R Study. However, to the best of our knowledge, ALSPAC is the only study to date that is prospective enough to examine DNAm in relation to longitudinal trajectories of social communication deficits from late childhood to late adolescence. Although the present findings might point to potentially novel sites that differentiate between a high versus low trajectory of social communication deficits, the results should be considered tentative until further replicated.</p> <p>This dataset contains summary statistics for the methylome-wide association study using DNAm data collected from individuals at birth.</p> <p>Upload of this dataset was completed by The EWAS Catalog team.

Descriptive Study on Nursing Students' Interest in Using Digital Communication and Social Media in their Field after Covid-19
<p>This paper is about Descriptive study of nursing students' interest in using Digital communication in their field after Covid 19. Digital communication and social media have massive social interaction among community users that generate an extensive amount of data. The study was conducted in the faculty of nursing at Najran University, King Dome of Saudi Arabia (KSA). A descriptive correlational research design was followed in this study Sample: 300 nursing students. The first tool: is the interview sheet. Include two parts: Part (1) student personal data. Part (2) the nursing students' interest in Digital communication and social media. The second tool: - a questionnaire to Measure nursing students' knowledge about using Digital communication and social media in their field. Results: (74.7%) of nursing students were interested in Digital communication, and more than half (55.3 %) knew about Digital communication and social media, there's a statistical association between the academic level and students' interest. Provide special education about Digital communication to improve students' knowledge in the health field for using after covid 19, In-service Training for Various Digital communication and social media platforms. dissemination of the findings of this research study to the public and private healthcare organizations</p>
Understanding Cultural Information Flow: A Qualitative study of a small social group
<p>This study uses qualitative data to explore closely adoption and onward transmission. Interview data were collected in relation to housework regarding the perceived behaviour of participants’ parents, of themselves, and of their (grand)children (N=14). Observational data was also collected from the members of one of the families for triangulation purposes. Following the six-phase process of thematic analysis, we extracted three main themes: individual learning, horizontal transmission, and vertical transmission. While only few instances were categorised as ‘individual learning’, the instances of horizontal and vertical transmission were numerous, and included the transmission of dichotomous traits. Thus, we explored why some cultural variants outcompete others and how certain learning and teaching mechanisms lead to increased stability and longevity. Vertical congruence was observed during the transmission of a dichotomous cultural trait: transmitters who acquired two variants of the same trait (one horizontally and one vertically) chose to vertically transmit onward to learners – i.e., their (grand)children – the variant which they had previously acquired vertically (i.e., from their own parents or grandparents), even if they exhibited both variants themselves. Horizontal congruence was observed even in sibling-to-sibling transmission, as the transmitter (older sibling) transmitted onward to the learner (younger sibling) the cultural variants which he/she had previously acquired from a peer (even if these were in competition with vertically acquired alternatives). Finally, we discuss the effects of the mother/wife-transmitter, who can weaken the effects of the vertical-congruence effect in the case of her spouse and enhance them in the case of their children.</p>
