Re: [Air-l] teens and myspace

These are college juniors I'm reporting on here, but we had a discussion about facebook just recently in my class and a number of my students have reported negative consequences of revealing information in facebook, such as getting a real-life stalker. It was pretty clear that to my students (at least those that spoke up) the use of social internet spaces was clearly determined by how they think of the internet. So, perception would even be a determinant of action. Also, my students still report that the quality of online socializing is overall less than offline (with a few exceptions of students reporting no difference). These are not study results, but maybe can serve as indicators. Ulla Bunz
