MINI-TRACK: The Dark Side of Social Media
TRACK: Social computing
DESCRIPTION
The widespread adoption of social media is accompanied with
arising challenges and problems. While the negative impacts and
outcomes of social media have attracted increasing scholarly
attention in recent years, the problems and risks in social media
use remain profound and therefore call for continued research.
This mini-track invites papers that identify and address the dark
side of social media, assembling a wide array of studies that
examine the aspects of social media that negatively impact
people’s personal lives or disrupt the operation of organizations
and societies. The goal is to raise awareness of the negative
aspects in social media use, and to address the challenges of
maintaining a safe and productive environment for social
computing.
Empirical, theoretical, or position papers are welcome in this
track. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to the
following:
- Privacy concerns and social media
- Cyber bullying - Social media addiction and isolation
- Social media and safety - Impact of social media on physical and
mental health - Social media and productivity/job performance
- Effect of social media on education
- Social media on business communication
- Impact of social media on democracy
- Impact of social media on law enforcement
- Social media and personal relationship
