This study examines the relationship between use of Facebook, a popular online social network site, and the formation and maintenance of social capital. In addition to assessing bonding and bridging social capital, we explore a dimension of social capital that assesses ones ability to stay connected with members of a previously inhabited community, which we call maintained social capital. Regression analyses conducted on results from a survey of undergraduate students N 2. Facebook and the three types of social capital, with the strongest relationship being to bridging social capital. In addition, Facebook usage was found to interact with measures of psychological well being, suggesting that it might provide greater benefits for users experiencing low self esteem and low life satisfaction. Introduction. Social network sites SNSs such as such as Friendster, Cy. World, and My. Space allow individuals to present themselves, articulate their social networks, and establish or maintain connections with others. These sites can be oriented towards work related contexts e. Linked. In. com, romantic relationship initiation the original goal of Friendster. My. Space. com, or the college student population the original incarnation of Facebook. Participants may use the sites to interact with people they already know offline or to meet new people. The online social network application analyzed in this article, Facebook, enables its users to present themselves in an online profile, accumulate friends who can post comments on each others pages, and view each others profiles. Facebook members can also join virtual groups based on common interests, see what classes they have in common, and learn each others hobbies, interests, musical tastes, and romantic relationship status through the profiles. Facebook constitutes a rich site for researchers interested in the affordances of social networks due to its heavy usage patterns and technological capacities that bridge online and offline connections. We believe that Facebook represents an understudied offline to online trend in that it originally primarily served a geographically bound community the campus. When data were collected for this study, membership was restricted to people with a specific host institution email address, further tying offline networks to online membership. In this sense, the original incarnation of Facebook was similar to the wired Toronto neighborhood studied by Hampton and Wellman e. Hampton, 2. 00. 2 Hampton Wellman, 2. Previous research suggests that Facebook users engage in searching for people with whom they have an offline connection more than they browse for complete strangers to meet Lampe, Ellison, Steinfield, 2. Online SNSs support both the maintenance of existing social ties and the formation of new connections. Much of the early research on online communities assumed that individuals using these systems would be connecting with others outside their pre existing social group or location, liberating them to form communities around shared interests, as opposed to shared geography Wellman, Salaff, Dimitrova, Garton, Gulia, Haythornthwaite, 1. A hallmark of this early research is the presumption that when online and offline social networks overlapped, the directionality was online to offlineonline connections resulted in face to face meetings. For instance, Parks and Floyd 1. As they write, These findings imply that relationships that begin on line rarely stay there n. Although this early work acknowledged the ways in which offline and online networks bled into one another, the assumed online to offline directionality may not apply to todays SNSs that are structured both to articulate existing connections and enable the creation of new ones. However, because there is little empirical research that addresses whether members use SNSs to maintain existing ties or to form new ones, the social capital implications of these services are unknown.

Lampe, Ellison, Steinfield, 2. In contrast to popular press coverage which has primarily focused on negative outcomes of Facebook use stemming from users misconceptions about the nature of their online audience, we are interested in situations in which the intended audience for the profile such as well meaning peers and friends and the actual audience are aligned. We use Facebook as a research context in order to determine whether offline social capital can be generated by online tools. An error occurred while setting your user cookie.
