Impacts of disinhibition effect on social networks
BLAŽKOVÁ, Zuzana
This bachelor thesis deals with the disinhibition effect and its effects on social networks. Its aim is to create a questionnaire based on Suler's theory of the disinhibition effect, which is based on 6 factors (anonymity, invisibility, asynchronicity, solipsistic introjection, dissociative imagination and minimization of authority). This aim was proposed on the basis of the absence of a similar questionnaire in the Czech Republic. The theoretical part focuses on communication on social networks and users' behavior. The first chapter presents the individual social networks that are the most popular both in the Czech Republic and in the world. Further describes communication in cyberspace and the disinhibition effect itself, its factors, manifestations, causes and consequences. The second chapter describes the issue of social networks and risky behavior of users, which focuses on cyberbullying, sexting and self-disclosure. The practical part describes the method of creating a questionnaire, which is based on Suler's theory of the disinhibition effect. The research group consists of 367 respondents who filled in the final version of the created questionnaire. The resulting questionnaire is consisting of 4 disinhibition factors (anonymity, solipsistic introjection, asynchronicity and invisibility) and consists of 15 items.
