Facebook for Research
Lalith Polepeddi Sat May 23, 2009 3:15 pm
This NYT article from 2007 lists how Facebook is used as a petri dish for social scientists (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/17/style/17facebook.html?_r=2&bl=&ei=5087&en=5041e607dad7dce7&ex=1198040400&oref=slogin&pagewanted=print)
I’ve pulled a couple studies they list according to topics we have discussed in the course.
Triadic closure: Harvard and UCLA professors study how social relationships affect tastes, habits and values
Wisdom of the crowds: University of Colorado researchers look at how Facebook instantly spread details about the Virginia Tech shootings
Balanced networks: Social scientists at Indiana, Northwestern, Pennsylvania State, Tufts, and Univ of Texas test traditional theories in their fields about relationships, identity, self-esteem, popularity, collective action, race and political engagement.
