- W2494082872 abstract "IntroductionIt is one of social psychology's biggest lessons: We human have deep need belong. We flourish when connected others in close, supportive relationships. When isolated - as in solitary confinement - we suffer. We are social animals. In today's technology is connecting us in new and very ways. In China, reports the World Bank, mobile phone users have soared from 30% of people in 2005 92% in 2014. Worldwide, Internet use has skyrocketed from few people in 2000 nearly 45% in 2015 - and fully half of people in China.Facebook, whose mission is to make the world more open and connected, now has 1.5 billion subscribers - 1 billion of whom, for the first time in late August 2016, used Facebook in single day. QQ has more than 800 million users of its instant messaging service. In the United States, a typical teen sends and receives 30 texts per day, reports the Pew Research Center (2015). Moreover, reports Pew, most teens prefer messaging - fingered speech -to phone calling.The Internet's Social BenefitsA more open and connected world is better world, messaged Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg after that first 1 billion-user day. brings stronger relationships with those you love, stronger economy with more opportunities, and stronger society that reflects all our values. Indeed, the Internet is shrinking the global village. E-commerce and telecommuting save us time. Digitally, we find more information than in any library. And, increasingly, people find their romantic partners online, especially if seeking same-sex partners:Although no online matchmaking scheme is particularly effective (Finkel, et al., 2012), Internetformed friendships and romances are more likely last (Bergh & McKenna, 2004). One reason for the greater durability of online romances is the greater self-disclosure they foster, with more attention shared values and interests and less attention looks and location (Joinson, 2001; Bargh & McKenna, 2004).The Internet's Social CostsThe benefits of our digitally connected world do come with some risks and social costs. These include:* Deindividuation. Faceless anonymity enables sexual exploitation, piracy, hate speech, and the meanness of cyberbullying.* Time diversion from face-to-face relationships. Internet addictions gambling and pornography may disrupt and drain time from healthy relationships and productive work.* Slacktivism. The effortless signing of online petitions or sharing of prosocial videos may substitute feel-good Internet clicks for real, costly helping.* Perhaps the biggest social cost of the Internet, however, is its enabling of self-segregation, resulting in group polarization. With increased information choices, people selectively expose themselves think-alike media and bloggers. As studies of group polarization repeatedly demonstrate, people in like-minded groups tend reinforce their shared views and shift toward the extreme. The Internet echo chamber is perfect example: It serves as social amplifier that feeds and strengthens shared views. Sometimes this is for good, as peacemakers become more pacifistic and cancer survivors find mutual support. But sometimes it works for evil. Racists become even more racist. Conspiracy fears grow. Hostile people become terrorists. The bottom line: Separation + conversation polarization. Thus, the Internet often deepens social divisions.Internet-Enabled ResearchFor social scientists, the Internet offers vast new field for research. Sixteen million people have responded online Implicit Association Tests (measuring unconscious attitudes, at implicit.harvard.edu). ProlificAcademic.co.uk and Amazon Turk are enabling researchers engage participants from well beyond their own institutions. And big archives are providing huge data samples. A few favorite examples follow.Individualized NamesSocial psychologist Jean Twenge and her colleagues (2010) report that the growing individualism of the United States is reflected in the increased uniqueness of first names - and the corresponding diminishing proportion of babies gien onve of the ten most common names. …" @default.
