Abstract

Social media platforms rely on algorithms to filter and select content, thereby personalizing every individual's social media experience. Many use social media without awareness of this personalization and its impact, pointing to a need to both understand and improve literacy among active social media users. This qualitative study addresses adolescents' social media literacy through an investigation of their experiences with personalization on social media, aiming for a nuanced perspective of their outcomes. A thematic analysis of eight focus group interviews with 47 students aged 15–19 years uncovered two main themes: (1) diverse levels of adolescents' awareness and familiarity with personalization and (2) positive, negative, and mixed emotions toward personalization. Theme one uncovered that although the adolescents were largely unfamiliar with the terminology, when prompted, most of them could provide examples of personalization, whereas theme two revealed that adolescents appreciated relevant content and yet were uneasy about certain features.

探索社交媒体素养在青少年个性化体验中的作用:挪威的一项定性研究
社交媒体平台依靠算法来过滤和选择内容,从而个性化每个人的社交媒体体验。许多人在使用社交媒体时没有意识到这种个性化及其影响,这表明需要了解并提高活跃社交媒体用户的识字率。这项定性研究通过调查青少年在社交媒体上的个性化经历来解决他们的社交媒体素养问题,旨在从细微的角度看待他们的结果。对47名15-19岁学生进行的8次焦点小组访谈的主题分析 这些年揭示了两个主要主题:(1)青少年对个性化的意识和熟悉程度不同;(2)对个性化的积极、消极和混合情绪。主题一发现,尽管青少年在很大程度上不熟悉术语,但在提示时,他们中的大多数人都可以提供个性化的例子,而主题二则表明,青少年欣赏相关内容,但对某些功能感到不安。
