520 | |a Over the past decade, social networking sites have been a part of the daily lives of individuals. With the widespread use of social media worldwide, the diversity and intercultural nature inspired researchers to further investigate the intercultural online communication process. Moreover, diffusion of SNSs; especially Facebook, throughout the world and evidently Muslim countries is apparent. This research studies online self-disclosure and face-saving strategies employed online by Muslim youth from two collective cultures during their online interaction on Facebook. As well as their level of Islamic values, and if it may act as a mediating variable during their online interactions. This quantitative study was conducted among 399 respondents (Malaysians = 208, Egyptian = 191) from two universities; International Islamic University Malaysia and Cairo University. A self-administered survey was used to gather the data, and was later analyzed to answer the research questions. The researched assumed a significant difference between both nationalities in terms of the three-aforementioned variable; online self-disclosure, face-saving and Islamic values. It also assumed that the Islamic values adopted by youth will affect their levels of online self-disclosure. A significant difference was only proven in terms of the levels of online self-disclosure whereas Islamic values were not found to have an effect on the online self-disclosure levels of the participants. This study contributes to the current body of knowledge, especially as an intercultural study that focuses on research on Muslim youth' online communication and how their Islamic values contribute to their cultural and religious that may reflect on the way they online interaction and disclosure is shaped. This study, as other researches in similar fields, helps the academic community with further understanding of the sample in question. It will also help with facilitating an online environment that is more in harmony in terms of intercultural online interactions. | ||
