The Relationship with Facebook and Students


Kalpidou, M., Costin, D., & Morris, J. (2011). The Relationship Between Facebook and the Well-Being of Undergraduate College Students. Cyberpsychology, Behavior & Social Networking, 14(4), 183-189. doi:10.1089/cyber.2010.0061

In an article written by Costin Kalpidou, it tells the study of how facebook can reflect on ones self esteem and attitude in college. This study was to find if facebook can give a postive result with social adjustment. It was also used to see if it would give a negative result like lowering self esteem and emotions. The informative writing was to show the effects of facebook, a social network, can bring. Costin is trying to show that the use of social media can bring good and bad effects because in the results of the study, facebook was shown to gave low self esteem to underclass men, but showed postive social adjustments to upperclassmen. The results were to be thought of postive later in life. When most people think facebook is bad like cyber bullying, there are some benefits. A lot of people use facebook and in the writing it disproves that users all around the world are not effected much by self esteem and attitude. It can actually all help in the long run.
