The study will take place in two sections, with 50 undergraduate Facebook-using students per section. Section one will be completing the study online via the SONA system. Section two will also be recruited through the SONA system, but will be completing the study in-person in the presence of a researcher. Participants will either be apart of section one or section two, but not both. Each of the participants in the sections will read the information document and consent document. If the participants have agreed to continue with the study, the participants will complete the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. The participants will then complete a 25 item assessment on a 7 point scale that measures their perceived safety of disclosure on Facebook, expressing themselves, connecting with other people on Facebook, and the perceived safety of disclosing themselves on Facebook in comparison to disclosing themselves in-person. **Abstract** The popular media have publicized the idea that social networking Web sites (e.g., Facebook) may enrich the interpersonal lives of people who struggle to make social connections. The opportunity that such sites provide for self-disclosure—a necessary component in the development of intimacy—could be especially beneficial for people with low self-esteem, who are normally hesitant to self-disclose and who have difficulty maintaining satisfying relationships. We suspected that posting on Facebook would reduce the perceived riskiness of self-disclosure, thus encouraging people with low self-esteem to express themselves more openly. In three studies, we examined whether such individuals see Facebook as a safe and appealing medium for self-disclosure, and whether their actual Facebook posts enabled them to reap social rewards. We found that although people with low self-esteem considered Facebook an appealing venue for self-disclosure, the low positivity and high negativity of their disclosures elicited undesirable responses from other people. **Materials** * The original paper is [here][1] (will require a library subscription). * Study 1 materials are in the paper or otherwise easily available.
