How Many Facebook Friends Do You Have? Study Links Narcissism and Facebook Activity
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/abc-blog...-abc-news.html

For the average narcissist, Facebook is tool that may promote anti-social behavior.

Facebook "offers a gateway for hundreds of shallow relationships and emotionally detached communication," according to study by Western Illinois University professor Christopher Carpenter.

The study was published this month in Personality and Individual Differences, the official journal of the International Society for the Study of Individual Differences.

In the study, Carpenter defined narcissism as "a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration and an exaggerated sense of self-importance," according to a press release from the university.

Using a Narcissistic Personality Inventory, Carpenter and his students surveyed 292 people - most of whom were college students - to measure "self-promoting" Facebook behavior, such as people posting status updates, their photos, updating profile information; as well as "anti-social behaviors," including seeking social support more than providing it, getting angry when others do not comment on status updates and retaliating against negative comments.

People who score higher on the inventory promoted themselves more on Facebook - by tagging themselves and updating their newsfeeds more frequently, and by having more friends on Facebook, according to a report in the Guardian newspaper.

The study concluded that grandiose exhibitionism correlated with anti-social behavior on Facebook. Self-esteem was negatively related to self-promotion and anti-social behaviors on the site.

"In general, the 'dark side' of Facebook requires more research in order to better understand Facebook's socially beneficial and harmful aspects in order to enhance the former and curtail the latter," Carpenter said.

Social media sites, particularly Facebook and Twitter, have long been criticized for being vehicles for meaningless relationships, and have recently been mentioned in connection with making bullying easier and more pervasive.

just attended a lunch where the topic was social media. The average facebook account has 130 friends. The fastest growing segment is 55+ women.

1412. Which every time I see that, it seems odd to me because it doesn't feel like I know that many people.

You don't. That's the point.

I've gone through my facebook friends list before and there are many of them who I straight up forgot about since college. Some of them have added me and I accept their request just to be nice (after looking at our mutual friends) and I spend a few minutes pondering about where I forgot them at. You are right though... many of the people I am "friends" with on there, I have either forgotten completely about or they are more familiar with me than I am with them.

I dropped that shit.
It is a marketing tool and a big waste.
