報告摘要:
Online Harassment on social networking sites is an emerging societal challenge related to the undesirable use of technologies. While increasing attention has been paid to online harassment, research on the topic is fairly limited in the Information Systems literature. There is a need to further advance the literature by examining the role of technology in online harassment in social networking sites. To address the research gaps, we use crime opportunity theory and affordance theory to propose a meta-framework that guides our investigation. The research model was empirically tested using an online survey of 302 social networking site users. The empirical results suggest that the evaluations of SNS environmental conditions (i.e., the presence of suitable targets and the absence of capable guardianships) affect online harassment, whilst SNS affordances (i.e., accessibility, information retrieval, and association) influence the evaluations of these environmental conditions. This work enriches the cyberbullying literature by offering a new theoretical perspective to study online harassment in social networking sites. It also provides SNS developers with insights that can be implemented as measures to combat online harassment.
