TY - JOUR A1 - Hartmann, Tilo A1 - Möller, Ingrid A1 - Krause, Christina T1 - Factors underlying male and female use of violent video games JF - New media & society N2 - Research has consistently shown that males play violent video games more frequently than females, but factors underlying this gender gap have not been examined to date. This approach examines the assumption that males play violent video games more because they anticipate more enjoyment and less guilt from engaging in virtual violence than females. This may be because males are less empathetic, tend to morally justify physical violence more and have a greater need for sensation and aggression in video game play than females. Results of a path model based on survey data of 444 respondents and using multi-step multiple mediation analyses confirm these assumptions. Taken together, the findings of this study shed further light on the gender gap in violent video game use.

We con- duct a systematic literature review to examine the existing litera- ture and develop a theoretical framework in order to classify the results. The framework proposes that self-esteem is affected by three distinct processes that incorporate self-evaluative informa- tion: social comparison processes, social feedback processing, and self-reflective processes. Due to particularities of the social networking site environment, the accessibility and quality of self- evaluative information is altered, which leads to online-specific effects on users’ self-esteem. Results of the reviewed studies suggest that when a social networking site is used to compare oneself with others, it mostly results in decreases in users’ self- esteem. On the other hand, receiving positive social feedback from others or using these platforms to reflect on one’s own self is mainly associated with benefits for users’ self-esteem. Nevertheless, inter-individual differences and the specific activ- ities performed by users on these platforms should be considered when predicting individual effects.

Fotografische Praktiken sind durch aktive Handlungen und soziale Gebrauchsweisen bestimmt. Urlaubsfotografien tragen zum Beispiel zur Strukturierung von Reiserouten und Vorstellungen bei, indem genrespezifische Motive und Rahmungen mit Hilfe von Medien reproduziert und wiederholt werden. Praktiken des Zeigens, Teilens und Kommunizierens werden durch Social Plug-Ins (Like/Share Buttons) und Tagging-Funktionen auch in die Benutzeroberflächen von Facebook integriert. Dadurch werden Nutzer*innen Aktivitäten und technische Prozesse miteinander verbunden. Am Beispiel der automatischen Generierung von Urlaubsfotografien auf Geotagseiten wird gezeigt, dass Social-Tagging zur Entstehung und Aushandlung geographischer Räume und Ortsvorstellungen beiträgt. Mithilfe technischer Strukturierungen von Fotografien auf Taggingseiten werden genrespezifische Motive, fotografische Trends und Ästhetiken besonders sichtbar. Allerdings wird ihre Visualisierung auch durch algorithmische Priorisierung einzelner Inhalte mitbestimmt. Dadurch werden Urlaubsfotografien für ein fotografisches Profiling genutzt, da sie das algorithmische Erfassen und Auswerten von Nutzer*innen-Informationen ermöglichen. Die Arbeit zeigt, dass der Einsatz von Bilderkennungsverfahren und fotografischen Datenanalysen zu einer optimierten Informationsgewinnung und zu einer Standardisierung von Fotografien beiträgt. N2 - This thesis examines holiday photographs on Facebook and describes the socio-technical media practices that take place within the social media platform via the photographs. Photographic practices are characterised by active actions and social uses. Holiday photographs, for example, contribute to the structuring of travel routes and ideas by reproducing and repeating genre-specific motifs and framings with the help of media. Practices of showing, sharing and communicating are also integrated into Facebook's user interfaces through social plug-ins (like/share buttons) and tagging functions. This connects user activities and technical processes. Using the example of the automatic generation of holiday photographs on geotagged pages, it is shown that social tagging contributes to the creation and negotiation of geographical spaces and concepts of place. With the help of technical structuring of photographs on tagging sites, genre-specific motifs, photographic trends and aesthetics become particularly visible. However, their visualisation is also determined by algorithmic prioritisation of individual content. As a result, holiday photographs are used for photographic profiling, as they enable the algorithmic collection and evaluation of user information. The work shows that the use of image recognition processes and photographic data analysis contributes to optimised information retrieval and the standardisation of photographs.
