Wiki Version:
Using Social Media as a way to network and connect with people is becoming a more and more prominent phenomena. Facebook specifically has been publicized as a way to improve interpersonal lives of peopel who do not necessarily communicate effectively in face-to-face interactions. We examined four components of interpersonal relationships; these four components were oppurtunity to express oneself, oppurtunity to connect with others, a person's percieved safety, and the benefits of disclosing on Facebook as opposed to in person. We found that self-esteen was not a predictor of interpersonal relationships on Facebook. We added the variable of introversion to see if it was a predictor, we found that it was also not a predictor of those interpersonal relationships. This project is a direct plus replication. The participants involved in the study are Psychology students at Brigham Young University-Idaho. The procedure differs from the original study because we are adding an extra variable after the original data is collected, it is separate. The sample is hoped to be 80 participants. **Materials** * The original paper is [here][1] (will require a library subscription). **Links to our different components below** [Literature Review][2] [Methods Component][3] [Materials Component][4] [1]: http://pss.sagepub.com/content/23/3/295 [2]: https://osf.io/u4evz/ [3]: https://osf.io/6w543/ [4]: http://osf.io/6w543/
