Yes, while other studies highlight the problem up the negative side, especially the effects on student academic achievement, the study team of Cornell researchers find a good impact of the social networking site.
Quoted from Tom's Guide sites on Wednesday (03/02/2011), in his study, the research team involving 63 students. They were not informed about this study and each student in turn was left alone in a computer lab.
They were given different computers, including computers that deliberately turned off, with an additional mirror in front of them, some are turned on by the participants open up the page.
Each student is placed on their own a good computer is turned off, or activated with the page open for students. In addition, some students were given a computer that is turned off with a mirror on the screen.
After several minutes of accessing up, then looked at themselves in the mirror or looking at a dead computer screen, these students were given questionnaires designed to measure the level of their confidence.
As a result, found that participants who access up to provide more positive feedback about themselves than participants who did not access Facebook. This study also detected an increase in self-confidence is stronger if the participants to edit profile or change the profile picture up.
"Unlike glass, which remind ourselves we really are and maybe just give a negative effect on a person's confidence if what he saw was not as expected. While Facebook could show positive versions of ourselves,"said Jeffrey Hancock, who led the study.
He asserted, drawing on up is not a form of self deception, but one of the positives that exist in a person. Well, you agree with this opinion?
