| description | In this modern and technological era, the social media can become a threat to the
family. This study applies the Dependency Theory for users who actively seeking
information at the expense of their own family resilience towards challenges of the
Internet. As such, this study tries to explore the differences between the social media
influence on the rural and urban Malay families. The objectives of the study are (1) to
compare the social media used for communicating with family members and friends
between the rural and urban families; (2) to compare the influence of social media on
the rural and urban families; and (3) to differentiate the influence of social media on
the rural and urban families on family resilience towards challenges of the Internet. A
total of 800 respondents, representing families were surveyed, using the questionnaire
for data collection. The results indicate a marked digital divide between the rural and
urban families where the rural families use it for e-commerce while the urban families
use more of the Internet for chatting, reading online newspaper and other materials
while. The rural families use fewer types of the social media than the urban families.
The social media influence the rural families positively while the urban families are
affected both positively and negatively. As a whole, the rural families are more
resilient than the urban families. Nonetheless, the Dependency Theory holds true for
the social media influence on individualistic and antagonistic urban families. |
