- The Digital Architectures of Social Media: Comparing Political Campaigning on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat in the 2016 U.S. Election (2018, background): “36), affordances lacks an agreed upon definition, and the highly inconsistent application of the term has been extensively critiqued elsewhere (Evans et al., 2017; Wright & Parchoma, 2011).”
- Understanding the consequences of public social media use for work (2017, background): “that vary, and as such, are not affordances (Evans et al., 2016).”
- Feeling Authentic on Social Media: Subjective Authenticity Across Instagram Stories and Posts (2021, background): “Yet, Stories and Posts are distinct features that highlight different affordances—which in turn may lead to different authenticity outcomes (Choi & Sung, 2018; Evans et al., 2017).”
- The MAD Model of Moral Contagion: The Role of Motivation, Attention, and Design in the Spread of Moralized Content Online (2019, background): “In this section, we examine how certain affordances (see Evans, Pearce, Vitak, & Treem, 2017) of the social-media environment act as an amplifier of our group-identity motivations, which ultimately lead to the greater spread of moral-emotional expressions in the context of moralized communications.”
- Computer-Mediated Communication, Social Media, and Mental Health: A Conceptual and Empirical Meta-Review (2020, methodology): “This approach was advantageous over adopting, for instance, an affordances approach (Evans et al., 2017), since none of the reviewed empirical studies on CMC and MH used measures that explicitly operationalized distinct affordances as commonly defined in the literature.”
