Abstract:

 The study observed the level of trust and judgment afforded by Library and Information Science LIS students toward their close relationships as they engage and interact in social media. The study employed a mixed-methods approach using quantitative data to describe and measure the mean and standard deviation and narrative analysis as its qualitative method using semi-structured interviews to understand how the youth critically appraises their social relationship with family, friends, and others. The online survey gathered 55 library and information science students and analyzed how they behave and interact online given that trust and judgement are at risk when people engage online. Results showed that the youth give a high level of trust to their family members and close friends and a medium level of trust towards other people on social media. The students also indicate a low level of judgement towards close family, friends, and other people when they share information or interact on social media. This study provides a novel contribution to LIS students perceived trust and judgement towards their close relations as they interact and share information on social media.

 Bu çalışma, Kütüphane ve Enformasyon Bilimi öğrencilerinin, sosyal medyada etkileşimde bulunurken yakın ilişkilerine karşı gösterdikleri güven ve muhakeme düzeyini gözlemledi. Çalışma, ortalama ve standart sapmayı tanımlamak ve ölçmek için nicel verileri kullanan karma yöntemli bir yaklaşım ve gençlerin aileleri, arkadaşları ve diğerleriyle olan sosyal ilişkilerini eleştirel bir şekilde nasıl değerlendirdiklerini anlamak için yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeleri kullanan nitel yöntem olarak da anlatı analizini kullandı. Çevrimiçi anket, 55 Kütüphane ve Enformasyon Bilimi öğrencisini bir araya getirdi ve insanlar çevrimiçi etkileşim kurduğunda güven ve muhakemenin risk altında olduğu göz önüne alındığında, çevrimiçi ortamda nasıl davrandıklarını ve etkileşimde bulunduklarını analiz etti. Sonuçlar, gençlerin sosyal medyada aile üyelerine ve yakın arkadaşlarına yüksek düzeyde, diğer insanlara ise orta düzeyde güven duyduklarını göstermiştir. Öğrenciler ayrıca bilgi paylaştıklarında veya sosyal medyada etkileşimde bulunduklarında yakın aile, arkadaşlar ve diğer insanlara karşı muhakeme yetileri düşük düzeydedir. Bu çalışma, Kütüphane ve Enformasyon Bilimi öğrencilerinin sosyal medyada etkileşimde bulunurken ve bilgi paylaşırken yakın ilişkilerine yönelik algıladıkları güven ve muhakeme konularına yeni bir katkı sağlamaktadır.
