Items will be discarded if there is low item-total acquiescence correlations (r < 0.20) (Condon, Ferrando, & Demestre, 2006). The items retained will have the highest correlation of the sum of ratings (Andreassen, Torsheim, Brunborg, & Pallesen, 2012). Criterion-related validity will be achieved by the utilisation of a factorial analysis. Records with any missing data will be excluded. To test convergent validity, between the FLS and UCLA loneliness scale researchers will examine the Pearson’s correlation coefficients (Andreassen, Torsheim, Brunborg, & Pallesen, 2012). A strong positive correlation of greater than 0.7 (Francis, 2013) between the two scales for each item will show high convergent validity (Andreassen, Torsheim, Brunborg, & Pallesen, 2012). To test discriminant validity, researchers will assess this through the low correlation between the FLS and the UCLA loneliness scale (Tharayil, 2012). To test criterion-related validity, researchers will run a factorial analysis. Records with any missing data will be excluded. The items retained will have the highest correlation of the sum of ratings (Andreassen, Torsheim, Brunborg, & Pallesen,
The Inconsistency index estimates the scores on an eight-item-pairs with the highest bivariate inter-item correlations from the development sample. The absolute difference of the item ratings is totaled and the scores are above the cutoff, the ratings are marked as potentially inconsistent. The self-report cutoff of the scores should be chosen in a way that less than 5% of the normative score sampling was rated as potentially inconsistent [47]. The MASC 2 appraises the probability of the incidence of any one of the anxiety symptoms based upon the profile of the elevations on the MASC 2

It was found that “loneliness was a positive predictor of Facebook usage. … The loneliness variable controlled for the direct effect between the need for privacy and Facebook addiction was significant” (Błachnio et al.). Also on social media sites like Facebook, we get shortened versions of stories and the news possibly because of our shorter attention spans. We don’t want to listen to long stories with unnecessary details, instead we want the essential limited information immediately.

But this chatting does come with a downside though; as more and more people –particularly youths – become stiff, glassy-eyed “zombies” who only interact through minute movements of their fingers. This in turn results into limited communication between people “in person” as they are used to talking “through a screen”. As for myself, through Facebook and twitter, I discovered new people, new friends and strengthened bonds with many existing friends, and I’m extremely grateful for that. But other people don’t use it for what it is supposed to do, and are obsessed to getting as many friends as possible, and out of the 1.15 billion active Facebook users, they have lots of variety…
The social networking as exploded the past decade. Where employers can view your facebook for their insight on your person. It’s not invasion of privacy when you decide to put it online. From personal interactions on the bus, to the perseverance of applying myself in the classroom. To be social is something most learn in elementary, before the pressures of high school.
I disagree with Dailey’s results; strong friendships and bonds can be created over social media. Some people lack the social skills needed to make friends with their next door neighbor or the person standing next to them in their local market. “Facebook may not replace the full benefits of real friendship, but it definitely beats the alternative” (Dailey 144). For these people, Facebook is the perfect venue to get to know someone that they
The Conner’s CBRS has high levels of reliability, having been tested for internal, test-retest, and interrater reliability. Most of the coefficient alphas for the internal consistency of various scales were greater than 0.70, and of them were even greater than 0.90. not evidenced in the manual that these coefficients are broken down across ethnicity, all the coefficients for test-retest and interrater reliability were also well above 0.50, of them, reaching into the 0.90’s. The instrument has also demonstrated high levels of validity from angles, including factorial, convergent, divergent, and discriminative validity (Sullivan,
Openness depicts the individuals who are unique, innovative, inquisitive, open to new thoughts, masterful, and inspired by social interests. For the individuals who score lower, they have a tendency
Maria Konnikova first assumes that no one joins Facebook to be sad and lonely. However, she found a study by Ethan Cross (2013), a psychologist from the University of Michigan and his colleagues which argue that people who used Facebook will become unhappy. They wanted to find out how the use of Facebook can affect them. The support is objective because the author presents facts and clear evidence, for example research done by Robert Kraut (1998) found that more people used the Web, the lonelier and more depressed they felt. In addition, after people went online for the first time, their sense of happiness and social connectedness dropped.
A subscale of Ryff’s Scale of Psychological Well-Being entitled Positive Relations with Others was employed (Ryff, 1989), using a six-point Likert scale (0 = totally disagree, 5 = totally agree). The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for the scale in the present study is 0.83. A demographic data sheet was used to obtain information about gender, age, education,
Society today is mainly focused on social media and how many followers/friends you have. Making friends online is much easier in person because it just takes one click and done, you just made a new friend. The virtual number of friends/followers we have on social media can effect an individual self-confidence. In the article “Facebook in a Crowd,” Hal Niedzviecki is a man who does not have many real friends that he connects with, he was a workaholic with a 2-year old child at home.
Information and communication technology has seen lot of changes and advancements since the year 2000, key among them being the development of social media as a social influencer. It has become prominent parts of life for many young people today. We are all aware that social media has had a tremendous impact on our culture, in business, on the world-at-large and social media websites are some of the most popular haunts on the internet. Most people engage with social media without stopping to think what the effects are on our lives, whether positive or negative. Are we as society becoming more concerned with Facebook “friends” than we are with the people we interact with face-to-face in our daily lives?
As a person I am outgoing, affectionate, and incredibly energetic. I get joy when I meet new people, and encourage them to be the best versions of themselves. According to the personality test, I “ have moderate preference of extraversion over Introversion, a slight preference of
