- aggregation title "The 'Internet generation' and social media skills: an update on survey measures".
- aggregation abstract "With the proliferation of the Internet and other new media, an extensive body of research deals with how young people integrate these media into their everyday lives. More recently increasing attention is given to the skills that young people need to effectively and efficiently deal with social media. Much of this research relies on (traditional) survey instruments to measure young people’s media skills. However, it is uncertain which survey measures and items are best suited to investigate this. Hence, this paper reports about a study of young people’s social media skills that examines which skills young people have and considers the performance of the existing survey instruments to measure and evaluate social media skills. The development of survey instruments to adequately measure social media literacy is a challenging task in a rapidly changing media environment (Brandtweiner, Donat, & Kerschbaum, 2010). In the consulted literature we can distinguish two approaches of measuring media skills: (1) through self-assessment of skills and (2) through frequency of use. There exists, however, no consensus about which of the two approaches is the preferred one. According to some scholars, the self-assessment method is not a good predictor of the actual skills people can rely on (Hakkarainen et al., 2000; E. Hargittai, 2005; Van Deursen, 2010). Self-assessment is often associated with an under- or overestimation of the skills and therefore the method suffers with validity. On the other hand, the frequency measurement has its flaws as well as it does not directly investigate the skills needed to perform certain activities, but rather it measures the activities or applications that are used or performed (van Deursen, 2010). Hence, we propose in our paper an approach that combines both measurement methods. To address this potential concern with existing survey instruments for measuring social media skills, the presented research relies on a large-scale study representative for the Flemish youngsters (N= 1515). Overall, this study reflects on the development of new measurement instruments and empirical research with the goal to adequately measure and evaluate young people’s social media literacy.".
