A Case Study in the Influences of Social Self-Efficacy on Social Trust and Social Capital: Facebook

A Study about the Influences of Social Self-Efficacy on Social Trust and Social Capital: Facebook

Abstract:~ Facebook is currently the most popular social networking service in the world. With such tremendous influence on community networks, Facebook has been attracting considerable attention both from the media and academia. A review of the literature indicates that most researchers are concerned primarily with the influence of personal traits on online interactive behavior. This study began from the premise that self-efficacy, the confidence of individuals to function in an online-community, is a key element influencing participation in on-line social networks. This study attempted to establish a model of the social traits of Facebook users, and our results indicate that social self-efficacy has a positive influence on social trust; social trust has a positive influence on social capital, and social trust mediates the relationship between social self-efficacy and social capital.

Case Study on Social Self-Efficacy

Introduction:~ Online interpersonal interaction becomes an important aspect of social activities, and its influence on the social life of individuals continues to grow. The most comprehensive integrated online interpersonal platform is the so-called “social network service,” or SNS. In addition to providing an integrated platform on which to make friends, SNSs also allow users to display personal information in an open or semi-open manner, and seek out friends known from social settings in the real world. These “networks” focus on the fact that users also maintain a social life beyond the internet, and join networks not only to make new acquaintances but to remain in touch with current friends. This is the fundamental difference between SNSs and previous social websites (Boyd & Ellison, 2007). SNS websites establish an online interpersonal platform by combining user content with a larger community. Keep reading…

Yahoo! Movies


Yahoo! Movies, a division of Yahoo! wanted to get a bigger piece of the multi-billion dollar movie going pie by the summer of 2012 through their Facebook page. Their goal is to become the source for movie goers who love to research, be in the “know,” get VIP passes to early showings, and communicate with other movie aficionados.

They get 24 million visitors on their main website but lack that kind of traffic on Facebook where they see untapped potential to grow their brand.

Joint Venture

Their campaign strategy was a joint effort with their offline partner, Regal Cinemas, who put up banners in theaters promoting the Yahoo! brand along with a QR code pointing to an offer most movie goers couldn’t refuse – free popcorn. People who did a social check-in via their Smart phones and liked the page got the popcorn. Offer applied online also. They would just redeem the popcorn when they arrived at the theater.
