Group 1: Stephanie Ackerman Ben Anderson Kennedy Sawatsky Caleb Thompson Ben Wood Group 2: Ally Armstrong MaryKate Clark-Farmer Mark Jantzen Steven Regnault Milena Salerno **Study Information** This study is a direct plus replication of Forest & Wood (2012). The original study tested two hypotheses: 1) that people with lower-self-esteem perceive Facebook to be a safer medium of self-disclosure 2) that people with lower self-esteem perceive using Facebook as a medium of self-disclosure to be advantageous compared to in-person self-disclosure. In this replication, there is an additional measure of introversion and two additional hypotheses. These additional hypotheses are: 1) that higher levels of introversion will predict perceptions of Facebook as a safer medium of self-disclosure and 2) that higher levels of introversion will predict perceptions of Facebook as advantageous as a medium of self-disclosure compared to in-person self-disclosure. The survey is administered online, which may or may not be a deviation from the original, which omits this detail from their methodology. The original study sample was comprised of 80 undergraduate Facebook users (17 male, 58 female, 5 undisclosed; mean age = 21.35). The target n for this replication is 80. The study will use a convenience sample of participants recruited from the university the researchers attend. It is expected that the mean age of the sample will be approximately 21. It is expected that the gender ratio will be approximately 49% male, 49% female and 2% undisclosed. While the study will be conducted by two groups of researchers, the sample will be analyzed as one data set.
