Muscanell, N. , & Guadagno, R. (2012). Make new
friends or keep the old: Gender and personality differences in social
networking use. Computers in Human Behavior, 28(1), 107-112.
This article
talks about a study done that compares the difference of how gender and
personality influences people in regards to social networking sites. This study
talks about the way that men and women differ in what they expect to come from
social networking, and in return how they spend their time, and who they talk
to while their on said site. This study was done on undergraduate students who
had either a facebook or a myspace, or even both.
I think yet
again this is another great source in order to apply to my research paper. However
it may be pulling my paper much to broadly, and expanding the topic to more
then it’s already made up to be. However I do find the information in this
study and article to be relative and something that most people would be very
interested in in hearing.

Psychologists’ attitudes and ethical concerns regarding the use
of social networking web sites. (2010). Professional Psychology: Research
and Practice, 2010, Vol. 41(2), P.153-159, 41(2), 153-159.
This article
talks about surveying psychology graduate students, and the way in which they
use social networking sites. The survey in which students participated has
several areas to it such as surveying, and self-monitoring. This study allowed
students to make their own assessment on their social networking usage, which
may or may not have been a bias answer, or could have caused them to answer
untruthfully.
In regards to
other articles I have found, I feel that this could easily fit into a category along
with them, which would help to build a paper off of what all the articles have
been saying about the research that has been done, that deals with usage, and
personalities of those who use social networking sites, and who uses social
networking sites for what purpose.
