  • This can be overcome by doing longitudinal studies

What were the main findings of Johnston et al. (2011) study on the association between Facebook use and social capital?

A
  • Facebook use was positively associated with perceived bridging social capital
  • Facebook use was positively associated with perceived bonding social capital
  • However, Facebook had less of an impact on perceived bonding social capital (perhaps due to features of FB that encourage weak ties)

  • The relationship between Facebook use and bonding social capital did not vary with different levels of self-esteem OR satisfaction with university life
  • Facebook use significantly predicted maintained social capital (this was the strongest correlation)

Therefore students seemed to use Facebook to maintain relationships and develop maintained social capital
