The sample consisted of 762 pre-service teachers who use Facebook. Regression analyses conducted on the data collected from the two countries revealed, firstly, that personal differences are associated with Facebook use. Secondly, however, the associations differed remarkably between the two countries. Even individuals with the same personal characteristics used Facebook differently between the countries. On the other hand, in both countries a strong privacy concern and a perceived ‘unrealness’emerged as negative factors. Individuals who consider social networking services as a place to pass time are avid users in both countries, as well. Furthermore, agreeableness and friendship related to Facebook use were not factors in either country.  \nKeywords: Social networking service; Facebook; Personality; NEO-FFI; Motive; Motivation.  \nDOI: 10.29329/epasr.2019.220.10  \n1 Res.

Social networking services (SNS) such as Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube provide some of the most sophisticated tools for CMC. Facebook is the most popular SNS with 2.41 billion monthly active users worldwide (Facebook, 2019) . Users of Facebook are “predominantly students”(Aydin, 2012, p. 1094) and it is especially appealing “to new generations of learners”(Manca & Ranieri, 2016, p. 511) . However, it is popular not only among the young but also among teachers, professors and other educational professionals (Bugeja, 2006; Rutherford, 2010). Manca and Ranieri (2016) state that SNSs like Facebook are “engaging students and instructors with","cbCaii0OVEhFO2ct","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaii0OVEhFO2ct","pdf",525035,24,"English","# Abstract\n## Introduction\n## Personal differences and Facebook use","[{\"question\":\"What relationship does the study examine between personal differences and Facebook use?\",\"answer\":\"The study examines how personal differences are associated with Facebook use among pre-service teachers and tests whether these relationships vary across Turkey and the U.S.\"},{\"question\":\"What sample and methods does the research use?\",\"answer\":\"The sample consists of 762 pre-service teachers who use Facebook, and regression analyses are conducted on collected data from both countries.\"},{\"question\":\"What factors act negatively or positively across both countries?\",\"answer\":\"Strong privacy concern and perceived “unrealness” emerge as negative factors in both countries, while viewing social networking as a place to pass time predicts avid use in both contexts.\"}]","Personal Differences and Social Networking: A Comparison of Two Countries | PDF",1792095187]
