Analysis of social behaviour of individuals in virtual networks
Lukavská, Zuzana ; Pstružina, Karel (advisor) ; Řepa, Václav (referee)
This thesis deals with the comparison of users' behaviour in virtuality and in reality. The thesis is divided into two interrelated parts. I'm analyzing participants' behavior according to results from our own research in chosen social network. I'm comparing the results with other scientific works and putting them into context with theoretical knowledge. I'm looking for conjunctions with reality, focus on the differences and trying to explain different behaviour of users of social networks. The theoretical part gives a comprehensive overview of the concepts of virtuality, social network and virtual world. It provides an overview of the potential danger lurking in the virtual reality, focusing on children, because for them is virtuality already a natural part of life, and they are also because of their credibility very vulnerable. It also deals with the meaning of the concept of friendship, which has in the virtual world a bit different meaning. It also examines the behaviour of individuals in various situations in a virtual environment and looks for reasons why people change their image, why they behave aggressively, and whether their virtual behaviour influence their behaviour in reality. I'm analyzing the differences between virtual and real communications and the influence of the increasing tendency of using virtual means of communication for real communication.
