I am currently looking for participants for my new research study on blogging and social networking. The initial survey takes between 15 and 25 minutes to complete. Participants have the option to enter a draw for one of three Nintendo DS units.
If you are interested in participating please click on the link below that best describes you. You will be taken to the survey landing page where an Explantory Statement explains the project in greater detail.
1) Bloggers take this Study
2) MySpace Users take this study
3) Facebook Users take this study
Thanks very much for your interest!
Best,
James

Blogging as a Social Tool: A Psychosocial Examination
Baker, J.R. & Moore, S.M. (2008). Blogging as a Social Tool: A Psychosocial Examination of the Effects of Blogging. CyberPsychology & Behavior, 11(6).
Abstract:
New MySpace users (N=58) were surveyed on joining the site and again in 2 months to examine psychosocial differences between bloggers and nonbloggers over time. Bloggers’ social integration, reliable alliance, and friendship satisfaction all significantly increased compared to nonbloggers, suggesting that blogging has beneficial effects on well-being, specifically in terms of perceived social support.
