Abstract

Purpose: Information-seeking behavior (ISB) is influenced by various aspects of human behavior. The purpose of this research is to identify the personality traits that affect the ISB of graduate students of Tabriz University.
Methods: The current research is practical and has been carried out using a descriptive-survey method. The statistical population of the study was all graduate students of Tabriz University (N=2826), 338 of whom were selected as the statistical sample using a stratified random method, and the questionnaire was distributed among them. In order to analyze the data, descriptive and inferential statistics (frequency, mean and standard deviation and multiple linear regression test) were used.
Findings: The findings of the present study showed that all five dimensions of personality traits (extroversion, conscientiousness, adaptability, acceptance of experience, and neuroticism have a significant effect on the ISB of graduate students of Tabriz University; So that extroversion, conscientiousness, adaptability, and acceptance of experience have a positive effect and neuroticism has a negative effect on their ISB. The results of multiple linear regression also showed that the independent variables, extroversion, conscientiousness, adaptability, acceptance of experience, and neuroticism are significant predictors of ISB, which explain a total of 25.6% of the changes related to the dependent variable. Among the 5 independent variables, the contribution of the variable of conscientiousness with a beta coefficient of 0.220 was more than other variables.
Conclusion: The findings of the present study confirmed the effect of five important personality traits on ISB. It’s expected that librarians and information specialists consider the different aspects of personality traits in ISB and pay attention to the fact that knowledge of these issues will help them in providing effective information services to students.

Abstract

Social networks and their increasing influence among different users in all parts of the world have made these networks become suitable tools for advertising and e-commerce. Today, businesses have come to understand that social networks are and will continue to be a means of doing business. Instagram is a popular social network based on video and images. This social network is known as one of the powerful marketing tools. The number of views, likes and comments on social networks, including Instagram, plays a significant role in customer decision-making; Because they pay attention to the opinions and reception of other audiences towards that product or post and are influenced. This research analyzes what factors create posts with different levels of popularity. For this purpose, the factors affecting the number of views, likes and comments in an Instagram social network post are extracted and their weight and importance are calculated based on the regression model. Finally, the decision tree model is presented for forecasting and management in order to increase the number of visits, likes and comments.
Methods and Materoal
In this research, the type of research is based on the purpose of applied research. At first, library studies have been used in order to extract factors affecting the amount of visits, likes and comments in Instagram social network marketing posts. The statistical population includes all articles related to the factors affecting visits, likes and comments. The probability sampling method of simple random samples has been used and 30 articles in this field have been reviewed. Then, the data related to the factors identified from the previous stage have been extracted from the pages of big marketers on the Instagram social network. Then, using the extracted data and using the regression model, the weight and importance of each factor affecting the number of visits, likes, and comments of Instagram social network marketers' posts has been calculated. Finally, a decision tree model has been created to predict the status (rate of visits, likes and comments) of a marketing post on the Instagram social network based on the characteristics of that post.
Resultss and Discussion
Directly, factors such as the number of posts, the number of followers, the type of post, the content of the post and the time of the post are potential factors that affect the number of views, likes and comments. According to the obtained results, the "post content with survey" factor with a positive sign and a coefficient of 420,290.616 had the most positive effect on the label, which is the number of visits to a post. The factor "discount post content" with a positive sign and a coefficient of 5417.751 has had the most positive effect on the label, which is the liking of a post. The factor "discount post content" with a positive sign and a coefficient of 2164.016 has had the most positive effect on the label, which is the amount of comments on a post. Also, the type of image post with a regression coefficient of 565.153 and a negative sign in the investigation of factors affecting the number of comments shows that the use of video posts will increase the comments and interaction of customers.

Conclusion
Most of the researches conducted, such as Gkikas et al (2022), Torbarina, Jelenc & Brkljačić (2020), Wahid & Gunarto (2022), etc., only investigated the influence of a few specific factors on the likes and comments of social media posts, and a comprehensive set of factors has not been investigated. Also, these factors were only for checking likes or opinions and not checking both cases. Most importantly, in the studies conducted, only the positive or negative impact of a factor on the number of likes and opinions has been discussed, and their importance has not been determined. In this research, various factors affecting the number of visits, likes and comments of social network posts were investigated. Also, the importance of each factor was determined. In addition, a decision tree model was presented to manage related pages and posts in order to achieve increased likes and comments. Based on the extracted effective factors, calculating the weight and importance of each factor and the created decision tree model, posts can be managed to increase the number of visits, likes and comments
