社交网络应用程序(SNA)被吹捧为有前途的激进主义平台:它们提供了一个可以听到声音和动员集体行动的平台。然而,很少有人研究现有国民账户体系是否适合促进青年倡导工作。我们对十年级学生进行了为期 5 周的密集定性研究,以了解现有的国民账户体系如何支持和抑制青少年的倡导。我们通过阐述以下几个主题为人机交互(HCI)领域做出贡献:青年在使用国民账户体系进行倡导时面临的障碍、现有国民账户体系中不适合青年倡导的特征,以及青年在倡导这些环境中的严重问题时感受到的同侪压力。最后,我们提出了如何改革现有国民账户体系功能以更好地支持青年倡导的建议。
Social networking applications (SNAs) have been touted as promising platforms for activism: they provide a platform by which voices can be heard and collective action mobilized. Yet, little work has studied the suitability of existing SNAs for enabling youth advocacy efforts. We conducted an intensive 5-week qualitative study with 10th graders to understand how existing SNAs support and inhibit youth advocacy. We contribute to the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) by explicating several themes regarding the barriers youth face when using SNAs for advocacy, features in existing SNAs that are not suitable for youth advocacy, and the peer pressure youth perceive when advocating for serious issues in these environments. We conclude with recommendations for how existing SNA features could be reformed to better support youth advocacy.
