The Psychology of Social Networking. Although " social networking " is now synonimous with Facebook and Twitter, it has a much wider meaning that includes - believe it or not - that very outdated form of relating to others, using physical or real, as opposed to virtual or electronic, contact. But how are both related? One intuitive hypothesis is that "popular" people (those with vast, far-reaching, and significant networks or contacts) will have connections both in the real as well as in the virtual world; thus the number of people one deals with in the real or physical world should be positively correlated with the number of virtual or electronic contacts one has.
On the other hand, a less intuitive (but still feasible) hypothesis may be that people who are less popular or charismatic in the real world may somehow "compensate" for their lack of charm by over-indulging in virtual social networking sites (and, unsurprisingly, spend more time in the virtual world than in the real world). 13351_173838784163_519294163_2876177_3165683_n.jpg (490×405) Pourquoi 600 millions de personnes se sentent à l’aise dans l’esprit de Mark Zuckerberg.
La lecture de la semaine n’est pas une lecture, mais plutôt une théorie, dont je ne sais pas si elle est légèrement délirante ou très banale. Mais je vous la livre : mercredi aux alentours de 18h, j’ai compris Facebook, je veux dire que j’ai vraiment compris ce que c’était que Facebook. Pourquoi mercredi aux alentours de 18h ? Parce qu’à ce moment-là, Mark Zuckerberg, le fondateur et président de Facebook était à la tribune de l’e-G8, et, comme plusieurs centaines de personnes, j’étais dans la salle.
Zuckerberg était là fidèle à l’image qu’on se fait de lui : l’air d’un jeune américain de 27 ans, en jean, t-shirt et basket, transpirant sous les spots et sirotant un soda. Il parlait comme on s’attendait à ce qu’il parle : à la fois humble et sûr de lui, consensuel et énervant. Mais, un passage de son intervention a commencé à me mettre la puce à l’oreille.

Facebook Psychology, Twitter and other Social Networking | The Layman's Guide to Psychology. The Real Life Example The history of social networking is probably quite a bit older than most people realize. The internet has made it possible for humans to remain connected in ways that probably would have blown your father’s mind when he was a kid. In fact, when I was young I use to ponder how neat it would be to go to my 10 year high school reunion.
By the time I got to high school however, instant messaging, email, myspace and (by the time i was in college) facebook made the prospects of attending any high school reunion seem unnecessary. I already know what Tom has been doing for the last five years and I’m in constant contact with the friends I wish to remain in contact with. In fact, I know more about people I don’t care about than I ever thought I would. I mention a colonoscopy on facebook as a joke, only…it’s not a joke. It seems likely that our desire to scream to the world about our every moment and–if you chose, our colonoscopies–is driven psychologically. Who Are They. Google, Facebook, le psychothérapeute et le patient. Le Washington Post se fait l’écho des “nouvelles” question posées par Google et Facebook pour les psychothérapeutes américains. De plus en plus de psychothérapeutes constatent que l’Internet frappe à la porte de leurs cabinets.
Ainsi, un psychiatre rapporte comment, alerté par le mail d’un proche d’un de ses patients dépressif, il est allé lire son blogue et devant les billets alarmants a pris la décision d’’appeler le 911 qui le trouvera chez lui inanimé.

Elles l’ont été à plusieurs reprises. Elles l’on été par l’ami qui a fowardé le mail du patient au psychiatre. Histoire L’histoire des rapports entre la psychothérapie et le cyberespace n’est pas nouvelle. Dès 1985, l’Université de Cornell met en place un service d’information en ligne : les questions sont posées à Oncle Ezra, et la réponse est posée sur le réseau. Situation actuelle. Technology | Learning what makes Facebook tick. A group of students at Stanford University in the heart of Silicon Valley have turned their attention towards a unique course that blends popular culture with the more time-worn principles of psychology. The Psychology of Facebook is the brainchild of Professor B J Fogg, a pioneering persuasion psychologist who founded the Persuasive Technology Lab at Stanford. He says: "When Facebook came along I was one of the developers at the launch and what struck me was how there was this new form of persuasion. This mass interpersonal persuasion.
" Professor Fogg says the pivotal moment came when he watched an application on the site go from "literally zero to more than a million users in a week". He recalls that it was to do with music sharing and buying tickets and that that was when he had his "oh my gosh moment". It was quickly followed by a light bulb moment. "Where on earth could you get a million customers in a week? Usual coterie But this is no one trick pony according to the Professor. Validating Customers through Social Media | Touch Points by Steve Finikiotis. If you use Twitter or any of the other social networking tools, you’re bound to notice how much people crave acceptance and appreciation. Twitter users are delighted when their posts are re-tweeted (re-quoted) or commented on by their followers. It’s obvious that people like being shown appreciation, but there’s more to being appreciated than meets the eye. Social scientists say we’re hard-wired to respond powerfully to appreciation.
In fact, the quest for acceptance and appreciation may be one of our stronger drivers. When we’re validated by others, we’re inclined to bond with them. I call this the Validation Principle, and it’s one of the keys to building durable customer relationships. Regardless of the product or service we’re offering, people are more likely to stick with our brand if we demonstrate genuine appreciation for them.
Emotionally intelligent business people have long understood and applied this principle. I’m most impressed with how Zappos does it. The result? The Addictive Psychology Behind Facebook’s Use & Popularity! “Just as alcohol, drugs and cigarettes tend to have a highly “addictive” quality in their nature, Facebook too can be extremely addictive!” Me. Facebook Cartoon By geek and poke Not so long ago, we discussed how the use of social media channels, in general, can cause different types of psychological problems or disturbances and how it can have the ability to negatively influence our mental and emotional health.
In another post, we discussed the psychology behind people tweeting. But how about Facebook? A study conducted in 2007, discussing the psychology of Facebook, mentions many mental and emotional issues associated to and resulting from using Facebook and so on. In order to avoid sounding repetitive by reiterating what others have said regarding this issue, I will state my personal opinion of the subject at hand before reading further about it from my research results.
