A Theoretical Evaluation of Group Behavior on Social Media

Abstract

On social media in the digital era, individuals can easily reach out and comment to everyone on everything. Introducing themselves, exchanging opinions and participating in discussions are more likely on social media. They have provided the opportunity to benefit from others or to benefit others as a member of a group. On the other hand, social media have become a sociological field where one or a group can share every moment and make comments to everyone, including those they do not know. It is also seen as an area where the privacy limit is weakened and respect for rules decreases. In this context, group behavior, social media and related topics are discussed in this chapter including the definition, benefits and effects of the group; evolution, functions, classification and the importance of social media; the effects of social media and the group on social capital, social cohesion and social intelligence; and factors determining group behavior on social media.
