http://www.latimes.com/health/boostershots/la-heb-facebook-v anity-20110310,0,464632.story A study on how people use social networking websites such as Facebook confirms what many of us suspected. Women who post loads of photos of themselves on their sites are conveying some strong personal characteristics, according to new research. These women are more likely to base their self-worth on appearance and use social networking to compete for attention. The study involved 311 men and women with an average age of 23. In order to better understand aspects of social networking behavior, the researchers looked at the amount of time subjects spent managing profiles, the number of photos they shared, the size of their online networks and how promiscuous they were in terms of âfriendingâ behavior. The participants completed a questionnaire designed to measure self worth and were asked about their typical behaviors on Facebook. |
