We, Nicholson, Seward, and LePine, are a group of students from Gordon College. We are replicating Forest et al.'s 2012 study on Facebook and self-esteem as a part of our Research Methods II course under Dr. J.P. Gerber. We will be performing a direct replication of the first study in the paper, using the original sample size and materials. The participants in this study will be asked to fill out a survey that consists of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale as well as 25 questions relating to their disclosure and perceived safety on Facebook. These questions come directly from the materials found in the Forest et al. study. **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.
