Similar to Training Effectiveness on the Use of Social Networking Websites for Job Opportunity Among College Students: An Evaluation of Behavioral Intervention (20)
![Training Effectiveness on the Use of Social Networking Websites for Job Opportunity Among College Students: An Evaluation of Behavioral Intervention Brandon Saedi & Dr. Hannah-Hanh Nguyen Department of Psychology College of Liberal Arts, California State University Long Beach Abstract 1. Will behavioral change result from a training intervention? Low Motivation High Motivation Group Receiving Training Group Receiving No Training Change in Social Networking Behavior Research Questions & Hypotheses Methods Introduction ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Hypothesis 1: The relationship between training college students and intentions to change is mediated by their knowledge of effective behavior. Specifically, those who attend the training will have more positive beliefs and attitudes, thereby increasing intentions to change social networking profile. Hypothesis 2: The relationship between training college students and behavior changes is mediated by their intentions to change. Specifically, those who attend the training will increase intentions to change and will indeed change their social networking profile. Hypothesis 3: Motivation for employment will moderate the training effectiveness such that those in the training condition who are more motivated will benefit more from the training (higher intention to change) than those low in motivation. 2. Will the relationship among training intervention and actual behavior change be mediated by students’ knowledge and intentions to change? 3. Will the relationship between training and changed intentions be moderated by motivation for employment? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],References ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Contact Information Brandon Saedi MSIO candidate [email_address] No Yes No No Social Networking Effectiveness Training Intentions to Change Social Networking Profile Motivation for Employment Actual Change in Social Networking Profile Social Networking Effectiveness Training Intentions to Change Social Networking Profile This proposed study will assess the effects of a behavioral intervention technique on social networking behaviors based on the Theory of Reasoned Action (Fishbein & Ajzen, 1975). Anecdotal evidence shows that increasingly more employers are using social networking websites, such as MySpace, as a basis for selection. The present study will utilize an intervention to train job-seeking college students at two public universities to effectively use social networking websites to increase employment opportunity and avoid pitfalls. The design is a pretest posttest study with two groups (training vs. control). The surveys include motivation for employment and intention to change social networking behavior. It is expected that those who receive training will change their intentions and behavior significantly more than those who do not, thereby increasing employment opportunity. It is also expected that there be an interaction between the training and motivation for employment when predicting changes in intentions and behavior.
