This paper examined the influence of social media advertising on consumers during their purchase decision-making process and the implication for marketers. It was a qualitative study that utilized secondary data to base its findings and generalizations. The study was motivated by the need to highlight the roles played by social media advertising on consumers during their purchase decision-making process. Since, it was a qualitative study, no hypotheses were tested to generate findings. Instead, the findings of the study were extracted from empirical review of similar studies conducted by researchers around the world. These findings revealed that social media advertising (FaceBook advertising, Instagram advertising, Twitter advertising, and YouTube advertising) a significant influence on consumers during their purchase decision-making process. On that note, it was concluded that social media advertising plays a fundamental role in influencing consumer behavior during the purchase decision-making process. The following implications were drawn for marketers: social media advertising has come to stay, so marketers of the modern age should learn and adopt this important strategy; social media advertising is more strategic, targeted and measurable than traditional media advertising; social media advertising can substitute for traditional media advertising in some cases; the advent of social media advertising is only one step towards a more digitized and internet-based marketing practice in the nearest future; and marketing requires adaptation and innovation, hence as customers have gone digital, so should modern marketers.

THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL MEDIA ADVERTISMENT ON CONSUMER BUYING BEHAVIOUR - Bajon Daa Useni
Bajon Daa Useni
This study investigates the impact of social media advertising on consumer buying behavior. With the pervasive influence of social media platforms in contemporary society, businesses increasingly rely on social media advertising to reach and engage with consumers. The study utilizes secondary data spanning from 2013 to 2023 to analyze the relationship between social media advertising exposure and consumer buying behavior. Drawing on theories from economics and marketing, as well as empirical research on social media advertising effectiveness, the study employs regression analysis, mediation analysis, and moderation analysis to examine the direct and indirect effects of social media advertising on consumer purchase intentions and satisfaction. The findings reveal that social media exposure positively influences consumer purchase intentions, with brand awareness mediating this relationship. Additionally, demographic variables such as gender, age group, and occupation moderate the effectiveness of social media advertising on consumer buying behavior. Based on these findings, recommendations are provided for businesses to optimize their social media advertising strategies and enhance consumer engagement and satisfaction. The study contributes to the understanding of the role of social media advertising in shaping consumer behavior and provides valuable insights for practitioners and researchers in the fields of marketing and economics.

The flow of information in the age of social media is bidirectional and interactive, hence creating wealth of information. This information is leveraged by the consumer when conducting external search for his consumption decisions. However, only few studies have explored the influence of social media content on decision making act during the consumption process, it hence needs further investigation. In this study, we try to fill the gap by using in depth interviews with 21 participants, to investigate how product information on social media influences consumers’ propensity to consume. The findings of the research propose the “IDEA” model which explains that Social Media Content can influence the decision making process of other consumers (1) by providing Information about products, (2) by instilling Desire among consumers, (3) by sharing of Experience knowledge and (4) by extinguishing Anxiety around a product purchase decision. Our results give the community managers some elements to understand and manage their brand’s appearance in different social media.

For any business to thrive in this era, it has to embrace social media in its marketing strategy combination as a critical element of business operations. The strength of the customer relationships is through uniting communications across the entire business, from 6 marketing and sales to customer service and operations. Cheri Husney in Guth, D. J .(2021) is asserts that even if one uses the traditional marketing platforms like seminar, the exercise becomes more fulfilling and effective when followed by social media platforms like tweeter, SMS, and others. A business must engage hybrid marketing approach of including online and traditional marketing. This helps the business to optimize the scarce recourse for best results. Integration of social media marketing to other core business process enables greater yields (Bae, Il-Hyun, Zamrudi, M.F., 2018). This approach strikes a balance between the positives impacts of conventional marketing like: ease, faster and cheap way of reaching mass customers, instant feedback, market intelligence and proactive enablement among others, yet traditional marketing approaches bring in positives impacts like: the ability to reach prospects that are off online or not any social media, control of people’s feedback, focused customer reach and others. Furthermore, elements in a marketing mix complement and generate information of one another. Data security and information control must be handled with lots vigilance and with caution.

This research paper presents the findings of a research project that investigated how young adult interpersonal communications have changed since using social media. Specifically, the research focused on determining if using social media had a beneficial or an adverse effect on the development of interaction and communication skills of young adults. Results from interviews reveal a negative impact in young adult communications and social skills. In this paper young adult preferences in social media are also explored, to answer the question: Does social media usage affect the development of interaction and communication skills for young adults and set a basis for future adult communication behaviors?

1 Introduction
Human interaction has changed drastically in the last 20 years, not only due to the introduction of the Internet, but also from social media and online communities. These social media options and communities have grown from being simply used to communicate on a private network into a strong culture that almost all individuals are using to communicate with others all over the world. We will concentrate on the impact that social media has on human communication and interaction among young adults, primarily college students. In today’s society, powerful social media platforms such as Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram (IG), and Pinterest have been the result of an evolution that is changing how humans communicate with each other. The big question we asked ourselves was how much has social media really impacted the way that humans communicate and interact with each other, and if so, how significant is the change of interpersonal interaction among young adults in the United States today?
The motivation behind this research has been personal experience with interaction and communication with friends and family; it had become difficult, sometimes even rare, to have a one-on-one conversation with them, without having them glancing at or interacting with their phone. Has social interaction changed since the introduction of advanced technology and primarily social media? In correlation with the research data collected in this study, it was concluded that many participants’ personal communication has decreased due social media influence encouraging them to have online conversations, as opposed to face-to-face, in-person conversations.
2 Related Work
The question of how social media affects social and human interaction in our society is being actively researched and studied. A literature review highlights the positive and negative aspects of social media interaction, as researchers battle to understand the current and future effects of social media interaction. A study done by Keith Oatley, an emeritus professor of cognitive psychology at the University of Toronto, suggests that the brain may interpret digital interaction in the same manner as in-person interaction, while others maintain that differences are growing between how we perceive one another online as opposed to in reality [ 1 ]. This means that young adults can interpret online communication as being real one-on-one communication because the brain will process that information as a reality. Another study revealed that online interaction helps with the ability to relate to others, tolerate differing viewpoints, and express thoughts and feeling in a healthy way [ 2 , 3 ]. Moreover a study executed by the National Institutes of Health found that youths with strong, positive face-to-face relationships may be those most frequently using social media as an additional venue to interact with their peers [ 4 ].
In contrast, research reveals that individuals with many friends may appear to be focusing too much on Facebook, making friends out of desperation rather than popularity, spending a great deal of time on their computer ostensibly trying to make connections in a computer-mediated environment where they feel more comfortable rather than in face-to-face social interaction [ 5 ]. Moreover, a study among college freshman revealed that social media prevents people from being social and networking in person [ 6 ].

3 Experimental Design
This research study was divided into two parts during the academic year 2013–2014. Part one, conducted during fall semester 2013, had the purpose of understanding how and why young adults use their mobile devices, as well as how the students describe and identify with their mobile devices. This was done by distributing an online survey to several Kean University student communities: various majors, fraternity and sorority groups, sports groups, etc. The data revealed that users primarily used their mobile devices for social media and entertainment purposes. The surveyed individuals indicated that they mainly accessed mobile apps like Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, and Instagram, to communicate, interact, and share many parts of their daily life with their friends and peers.
Based on the data collected during part one, a different approach and purpose was used for part two, with the goal being to understand how social media activities shape the communication skills of individuals and reflects their attitudes, attention, interests, and activities. Additionally, research included how young adult communication needs change through the use of different social media platforms, and if a pattern can be predicted from the users’ behavior on the social media platforms. Part two of this research was conducted by having 30 one-on-one interviews with young adults who are college students. During this interview key questions were asked in order to understand if there is a significant amount of interpersonal interaction between users and their peers. Interpersonal interaction is a communication process that involves the exchange of information, feelings and meaning by means of verbal or non-verbal messages. For the purposes of this paper, only the data collected during spring 2014 is presented.
4 Data Collection
Through interviews, accurate results of the interaction of young adults with social media were collected. These interviews involved 30 one-on-one conversations with Kean University students. Having one-on-one interviews with participants allowed for individual results, first responses from the participant, without permitting responses being skewed or influenced by other participants, such as might occur in group interviews. It also allows users to give truthful answers, in contrast to an online or paper survey, as they might have second thoughts about an answer and change it. The one-on-one interviews consisted of ten open-ended questions, which were aimed to answer, and ultimately determine, how social media interaction involuntarily influences, positively or negatively, an individual’s attitude, attention, interests, and social/personal activities. The largest motive behind the questions was to determine how individual communication skills, formally and informally, have changed from interacting with various social media platforms. The interviews, along with being recorded on paper, were also video and audio-recorded. The average time for each interview was between two to ten minutes. These interviews were held in quiet labs and during off-times, so that the responses could be given and recorded clearly and without distraction (Fig. 1 ). A total of 19 females and 11 males participated, with ages ranging from 19 to 28 years old.
![pdf thesis about social media figure 1](https://media.springernature.com/lw685/springer-static/image/chp%3A10.1007%2F978-3-319-21383-5_15/MediaObjects/340270_1_En_15_Fig1_HTML.jpg)
Female participant during one-on-one interview
After conducting the interviews and analyzing the data collected, it was determined that the age when participants, both male and female, first began to use social media ranged between 9 to 17 years. It was found that, generally, males began to use social media around the age of 13, whereas females started around the age of 12. The average age for males starting to use social media is about 12.909 with a standard deviation of 2.343. For females, the average age is 12.263 with a standard deviation of 1.627. From this, we can determine that males generally begin to use social media around the age of 13, whereas females begin around the age of 12.
After determining the average age of when participants started using social media, it was necessary to find which social media platforms they had as a basis; meaning which social media platform they first used. MySpace was the first social media used by twenty-three participants, followed by Facebook with three users, and Mi Gente by only one user, with two participants not using social media at all. It was interesting to find that all of the participants who started using Myspace migrated to Facebook. The reasoning provided was that “everyone [they knew] started to use Facebook.” According to the participants, Facebook was “more interactive” and was “extremely easy to use.” The participants also stated that Myspace was becoming suitable for a younger user base, and it got boring because they needed to keep changing their profile backgrounds and modifying their top friends, which caused rifts or “popularity issues” between friends. After finding out which platform they started from, it was also essential to find out which platform they currently use. However, one platform that seemed to be used by all participants to keep up-to-date with their friends and acquaintances was Instagram, a picture and video-based social media platform. Another surprising finding was that many users did not use Pinterest at all, or had not even heard of the platform. After determining which social media platforms the users migrated to, it was essential to identify what caused the users to move from one platform to another. What are the merits of a certain platform that caused the users to migrate to it, and what are the drawbacks of another platform that caused users to migrate from it or simply not use it all?
4.1 Social Interaction Changes
For some participants social interaction had a chance for a positive outcome, while others viewed it in a more negative aspect. The participants were asked if their social interactions have changed since they were first exposed to social media (Table 1 ). One participant stated that “it is easier to just look at a social media page to see how friends and family are doing rather than have a one-on-one interaction.” As for people’s attitudes, they would rather comment or “like” a picture than stop and have a quick conversation. On the other hand, another participant felt that social media helped them when talking and expressing opinions on topics that they generally would not have discussed in person. Moreover, the participants are aware of the actions and thing that they are doing but continue to do it because they feel comfortable and did not desire to have one-on-one interactions with people.
The participants were also asked to explain how social media changed their communication and interactions during the years of using social media (Table 2 ). The data shows that participants interact less in person because they are relating more via online pictures and status. For other participants, it made them more cautious and even afraid of putting any personal information online because it might cause problems or rifts in their life. On the contrary, some participants stated that their communication and interaction is the same; however, they were able to see how it had changed for the people that are around them. A participant stated that “internet/social media is a power tool that allows people to be whatever they want and in a way it creates popularity, but once again they walk around acting like they do not know you and ‘like’ your pictures the next day.”
5 Discussion
The data illustrated in this paper shows how much the introduction and usage of social media has impacted the interaction and communication of young adults. The future of interaction and communication was also presented as a possibility, if the current trend continues with young adults and social media or online communities. This raises the notion of possibly not having any social, in-person interaction and having all communication or interaction online and virtually with all family and friends.
6 Conclusion
Referring back to the question asked during the introduction: how much has social media impacted the way we communicate and interact with each other? After reviewing all the findings, seeing the relationship individuals have with their mobile phones, and comparing social media platforms, it is clear that many young adults have an emotional attachment with their mobile device and want interaction that is quick and to the point, with minimal “in-person” contact. Many young adults prefer to use their mobile device to send a text message or interact via social media. This is due to their comfort level being higher while posting via social media applications, as opposed to in-person interaction. To successfully and accurately answer the question: yes, social media has had a very positive and negative effect on the way we communicate and interact with each other. However, how effective is this method of “virtual” communication and interaction in the real world?

In a review of 43 studies in young people, many benefits of social media were cited, including increased self-esteem and opportunities for self-disclosure (Best et al. 2014). Yet, reported negative effects were an increased exposure to harm, social isolation, depres-sive symptoms, and bullying (Best et al. 2014).
In this thesis, I explore recent trends in social media through models and experiments of user behavior, platform algorithms and incentives, and policy initiatives. I focus on the social consequences of new communication technologies, their intended and unintended societal consequences, and how to steer them in more socially beneficial directions.
