Facebook has been found to interact with the psychological well-being and suggest that this will provide a greater benefit for users with low-self esteem and low-life satisfaction. Does Facebook benefit college students socially and academically? This research question is important because Facebook can be a major distraction to students and also can be a disturbance to how we interact in face-to-face conversations, but then again Facebook can help with networking and can possibly help people make cyber friends. When technology negatively affects how we learn and interact, it becomes a social problem that must be examined or studied for a possible solution. Researchers make a compelling argument examining the relationship of Facebook and how

Female, younger, in state, and on campus students were disproportionately larger in the sample. Facebook users reported they spend between 10 and 30 minutes on average using Facebook and having between 100 to 200 friends recorded on their profile. In the study they can see that respondents also reveal more Facebook use involving people who share an offline connection, either an existing friend, a classmate, someone living near them, or someone they met socially.
Created in 2004, Facebook was reported to have more than a million registered members in 2007, generating billions of page views each day. The typical user spends about 20 minutes a day on the site, and two-thirds of users log in at least once a day. Capitalizing on its success among college students. In 2006, the company introduced communities for commercial organizations. Facebook was used at over 2,000 United States colleges and was the seventh most popular site on the World Wide …show more content…
This increases the willingness to communicate in face-to-face conversations. The convenience of Facebook use also limits the statement of samples to communicate.
The relationships between unwillingness to communicate and Facebook use is interpreted based upon what was investigated through similar constructs such as relationships between loneliness and internet use. This study cannot establish the causal relationship between unwillingness to communicate and Facebook use. Most correlation coefficients indicate only weak relationships between non communication and Facebook.
The problematic and complicated variables in measuring the use of Facebook is that only one school is used in this research. Using a survey sent by email limits ability to find answers. The students who answered the survey may share characteristics that do not apply to the audience as a whole, creating a bias in the study. This survey could also be very costly in emailing to 800 random
