Is there a Psychological effects of social networking?

[secularhermit]

Have you feel it?

How come you don´t say it when regreting not being "liked" with a click or messaged by your virtual friends?

Psychological effects of social networking

(Social networking service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

"As social networking sites have risen in popularity over the past years, people have been spending an excessive amount of time on the Internet in general and social networking sites in specific. This has led researchers to debate the establishment of Internet addiction as an actual clinical disorder.[SUP][95][/SUP] Social networking can also affect the extent to which a person feels lonely. In a Newsweek article, Johannah Cornblatt explains “Social-networking sites like Facebook and MySpace may provide people with a false sense of connection that ultimately increases loneliness in people who feel alone”. John T. Cacioppo, a neuroscientist at the University of Chicago, claims that social networking can foster feelings of sensitivity to disconnection, which can lead to loneliness.[SUP][96][/SUP] However some scholars have expressed that concerns about social networking are often exaggerated and poorly researched ."

Post your ideas on this subject, if any...

I think that social networking sites provide an "internet central" for a lot of people. I deleted my facebook about two months ago for a number of reasons, but most practically I was reading about procrastination and it seems that procrastination thrives on doing a series of low commitment activities such as checking your email, or more recently checking your facebook, twitter, reddit, youtube, ChristianChat.com, etc.. You can see how a person could go through all of those sites, checking for anything new, and by the time they have gone through the list they'll likely need to check the first item again. This process keeps you on the computer far longer than you might have originally intended, and its obviously a bit of a waste of time. Even if there is little to nothing new on the sites, just the time it takes to scroll between them can keep a person occupied long enough for something new to come up. Spiritually speaking, I think many of these websites can be harmful, as much of the internet is, because it is so secular the secular ideas are going to bleed into your mind without you really noticing. I might reactivate my facebook at some point, but I think it's a good excersize to go without any internet for a while, the holidays would be a great time for this.

@ Animus

Agreed!

That´s boring! I have seen how some little girl regretted not being called or messaged certain day, so she started to say "hello" to some of her friends on her phone... Virtual Dependency!

Here, on CC, I stopped myself from sending or receiving PMs. If I don´t "talk" on polls or current posts, how come will I develope some kind of communication outside of these simple theads?

I love CC because I have seen how some posts and qustiones are genuinelly asked or sent; but I´ve realized some are fishing, like in many other sites (unavoidable).

I wish there were people like CC on those sites I have been. Spanish speaking copy their blogs. Show their "bests" pictures, seldom their brain or emotions. How come will people be known?

A year ago, there was a church sponsoring a site were people were venting their issues or praying publicly for their needs, but some came seizing the data that virtual fellowship went off. I guess many were using a faked identity to be open and sharing, but I can´t tell well why some impersonated another person they were not (just for relief, I would say).

Do you know that everything we publish on F.B. belongs PERPETUALLY to F.B.?

When we register we´re giving them right to trade with the data, but copywrited things still being yours, but as a second hand right for them...

Actually, it's certainly an interesting topic of discussion that you gentleman bring up here... I think we live in a technological age where children today are taught to an extent, to have a certain amount of dependence on technology. Technology basically exists to make our life easier, to have something else do the work for us. It provides us with a luxury of convenience and it makes it so that we don't have to get off the couch and otherwise do what we could not have done without using technology as a medium. Any of that make sense?

As far as social networking having a psychological effect on people...well, I think ANY website or forum can have an effect on someones psyche. For example, if you don't go outside and experience the world for yourself, but instead live in a library and read all day about the world, yet firsthand you never see or experience it, I would say you are reclusive and very introverted. The same would apply to the guy who sits on the computer all day goofing around on facebook, twitter, or whatever the case may be. They have almost this false sense of connection that they've developed to people and things in the world; the guy in the library may feel like he is a part of the worlds he reads about, whereas the guy on the internet could feel like he really IS following Justin Timberlake around, and not just on his twitter feed.

I read an article from an Ohio newspaper... this is probably 5 or 6 years ago, but basically, Twitter went down for a short time and a woman gave the newspaper editor her comment on it, to which when asked about how she felt after Twitter shut down for a while, she replied something along the lines of "I felt lost and hopeless" without being connected to Twitter. I'm paraphrasing that, but in essence that was her comment.

This would surprise me, but anymore this kind of thing is everywhere. That woman is clearly somewhat dependent on being connected to social media; the same goes for most any kids today. Just the other day I was out buying groceries and I easily spotted a dozen kids walking around with their faces stuck in their phones. It's just bad practice in my opinion, I feel like that kind of attachment to something can never be a good thing.

 

[secularhermit]

You are a correct observer!

The target on that activity is women: They spent more time on mobile/networking activities, same as kids.

there definitely is a strong effect, yes

It's easy to get addicted to social sites (just look at my post count , I'm living proof) Thankfully I have a job and love being outdoors, so I can tear myself away. (Problem being I have access to CC at work when its quiet )

Also, facebook seems to be some odd mix of speakers corner and ego boost central.
Most status updates are either semi- political, or about how someone has gotten soo much useful work done that day.

Hi, WWjd!

I would never look at you as per an addicted. On the contrary, as a supporter and, as long as i have seen many here, I have seen good contributions.

What I could look at is at that repotation power (39) which seems to be your age (Ja! Ja!) and I´m almost sure you are one of those with less selfies picture around.

In fact, that profile pic you have reminded me one I stole from CC to write one of my 1st blogs and, when I saw it, brought me good memories, because that pic speakes volumes: The more you give, the more love U could receive.

While checkin g your profile I had some few ideas when reading these:

"... Am CRAZY. You are hereby warned

PS: If I ignored your friendship request it is simply because I do not know you. First "talk" to me in the forums so I know who you are, THEN send me a request "

Was she like that (crazy) before coming into CC?

In that case you would have done some steps to be healed? (though the nut is me) not a person who is coherent and consecuente.

 

[secularhermit]

while reading an article about this: "BuildingAn Online Community" i read about things like these:

" First decide who your community is for.Be specific. Identify real people you want init. Then try to figure out what they really care about. Yourcommunity doesn’t have to be about your brand. It’s usuallyeasier if it isn’t. Look at what your potential members do in theirspare time, what do they spend their money on? What image do they tryto portray to others? What do they talk about online?"

"Begin messaging these people individually. Invite them to askother experts, celebrities or perfect contributors to join thecommunity. You want the best people they know to join.. No promotion,direct referral only. Keep it tight. Make sure the conversations arebeing sustained. If someone goes missing, find out why then bring himback."

" Finally, to keep participation incredibly high, begin to break yourcommunity apart. Highlight the most common topics and spin them offto their own areas within the community. Put the most active peoplein the topics in charge of these areas. Watch it grow. Arrange yourfirst meet-ups and events. Invite guest speakers to join yourcommunity to discuss topics, work on a cause or achievement thecommunity can aim for."

So people who are prone to participate on an online community are welcome (and sought) everywhere to build a social community and, as far as I know, CC is one of the bests.

 

[wwjd_kilden]

Thanks
Hehe, yea, I think I've always been a bit nuts, and I don't think CC made me any less crazy
Too bad I am so far away from the US people on here, or we could have meeting of crazies

 

[secularhermit]

I don´t belive you are a nut. However it be said, there are bits of it in all human beings and, if it were that badly, you would act like those who denied it or tried to hide their flaws.

I rather trusted those who are sincere than "honest".

Thanks! wwjd!

There is another Psychological effects of social networking, and now i don´t have the time to translate and elanorate, but here is a quick googled version of what I thought or felt:

[h=2]"Everytime someone "contradicts" what is supposed established asa true absolute, there will be a reaction, at least to mental andemotional. It is not, necessarily, to refute, to deny what otherthink, but to add something greater and perhaps more true.[/h]

Jesusperfected meeting the only thing they said. If I see him as a sinner,not have moral to add to what we did not meet again, being that Godchose, the man on whom His fullness dwelt, God himself believe andwitness to what His beloved son said (being God Himself the Spiritwho spoke with his son).


Thereare several quotes in which Christ appeared to "abolish"the Father what he said, and that can investigate yourself on Mat_5.22, 28, 32, 34, 39 Did Jesus contradict the Father? Just did see anew and improved truth.


Ifsomeone said once: "... the root of all evil is the love ofmoney ..." (. 1 Timothy 6:10) Jesus said something greater andthat of human males: The root of our evils is not love God first; andis not to love our neighbor as we should love ourselves (Mark12:32-33, Luke 10:27). Notice that Paul himself clarified this truth,otherwise "Rom_13: 10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; so thatcompliance with the law is love. "


Itis possible that whoever contradicts a truth suffer apathy,indifference, even hostility of those who hear a different opinion,because it goes against a long-accepted principle teaching,particularly if it goes against what is estimated as a systemreligious, against the identity of a group and that the truth-everyindividual-is called to defend, private or in groups is assumed.


Jesusrefuted the Father, and perfected added, fulfilling what he said. Histruth was superior to the practice of His day, His significance wasgreater than God himself speaking through the mouth of His son and,from my point of view, a long tour to the cult of personalism to whatthe apostles have said, and in that Similarly, Saul Paul spoke ofwhat he heard in his time: "1Co_1 12 I mean, every one of yousaith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; ., and I ofChrist "And, being just what I want from myself, I say,"1Co_3: 4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am ofApollos, are ye not carnal?


Ifat that time there was worship personalism, fame and thebias-today-and so we have, in relation to Jesus Christ What isanother man or woman?
1Co_3:5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos? Servants through whom youbelieved; even as far as the Lord assigned each. "


[h=2]Godjudges what I want right spirit within me. I am jealous of the LordJesus Christ, not Paul or teaching men."[/h]

[secularhermit]

Why not? Let´s try using google translate!

""Mmesikia ... lakini nasema ..."

Kila wakati mtu "kinyume" nini zinatakiwa imara kama kweli kabisa, kutakuwa na majibu, angalau kwa akili na hisia. Ni si, lazima, kwa kukanusha, kukana yale mengine kufikiri, lakini kuongeza kitu zaidi na labda zaidi ya kweli.


Yesu umekamilika mkutano kitu tu wao alisema. Kama mimi kumwona kama mwenye dhambi, si kuwa na maadili na kuongeza nini hatukuwa kukutana tena, ni kuwa Mungu alichagua, mtu ambaye ukamilifu wake akakaa, Mungu mwenyewe kuamini na shahidi wa kile ambacho mwana wake mpendwa alisema (kuwa Mungu mwenyewe Roho ambaye alizungumza na mtoto wake).


Kuna quotes kadhaa ambayo Kristo walionekana "kukomesha" Baba nini alisema, na kwamba wanaweza kuchunguza mwenyewe juu ya Mat_5. 22, 28, 32, 34, 39 Je, Yesu kinyume na Baba? Tu hakuwa kuona mpya na kuboreshwa ukweli.


Kama mtu alisema mara moja: (. 1 Timotheo 6:10) "... chanzo cha uovu wote ni upendo wa fedha ..." Yesu alisema kitu zaidi na ile ya wanaume binadamu: mizizi ya yetu maovu ni kumpenda Mungu kwanza; na si kwa kumpenda jirani yetu kama sisi lazima upendo wenyewe (Mark 12:32-33, Luka 10:27). Taarifa kwamba Paulo mwenyewe wazi ukweli huu, vinginevyo "Rom_13: 10 Upendo hautendi jirani neno baya; ili kulingana na sheria ni upendo. "


Inawezekana kwamba mtu yeyote kinyume ukweli kuteseka kutojali, kutojali, hata uadui wa wale ambao kusikia maoni tofauti, kwa sababu ni inakwenda kinyume na kanuni ya muda kukubalika kufundisha, hasa kama unaendelea dhidi ya kile inakadiriwa kama mfumo wa kidini, dhidi ya utambulisho wa kikundi na kuwa ukweli kila mtu binafsi-inaitwa kutetea, binafsi au katika vikundi ni kudhani.


Yesu alikanusha Baba, na kukamilishwa aliongeza, kutimiza nini alisema. Ukweli wake alikuwa bora kwa mazoezi ya siku yake, umuhimu wake ilikuwa kubwa zaidi kuliko Mungu mwenyewe akizungumza kwa njia ya mdomo wa mwana wake, na kutoka mtizamo wangu, ziara kwa muda mrefu na ibada ya personalism kwa nini mitume wamesema, na kwa kuwa Vile vile, Sauli Paulo alizungumzia nini alisikia katika wakati wake: "1Co_1 12 I mean, kila mmoja wenu akasema, mimi ni wa Paulo; na Mimi ni wa Apolo; na Mimi ni wa Kefa; ., na Mimi ni wa Kristo "Na, kuwa kile tu nataka kutoka mwenyewe, mimi kusema," 1Co_3: 4 Mmoja wenu anaposema, Mimi ni wa Paulo; na mwingine, Mimi ni wa Apolo, mnataka si ya kidunia?


Kama wakati huo kulikuwa na ibada personalism, umaarufu na upendeleo-leo-na hivyo tuna, kuhusiana na Yesu Kristo Mtu ni kitu gani mwingine au mwanamke?
1Co_3: 5 Ni nani basi Paulo, na ambaye Apolo ni nani? Watumishi ambao tuliwaleteeni ninyi imani; hata kama mbali kama Bwana kwa ajili ya kila mmoja. "


Mungu, hakimu nini nataka roho iliyotulia ndani yangu. Mimi ni wivu wa Bwana Yesu Kristo, si Paulo au wanaume kufundisha."

 

[secularhermit]

"You have heard ... but I say ..."

Every time someone "contradicts" what is supposed to be established as an absolute truth, there will be a reaction, at least to mental attitude or emotional responses. These are not, necessarily, to refute, to deny what other think or believed, but to add something greater and perhaps more true.


Jesus perfected the things heard from the law meeting the things it said. If I see Him as a simple “sinner”, he have not had moral to add things to what we did not meet one nor again, Being the ONE that God chose, the only man on whom His fullness dwelt, God himself believed and witnessed to what His beloved Son said (being God Himself the Spirit who spoke within His Son).


There are several quotes in which Christ appeared to having been "abolished" the Father´s will and what He said. We can investigate ourselves on Mat_5. 22, 28, 32, 34, 39...


Did Jesus contradict the Father? He just did see anew and improved His truth.


If someone ever said once: "... the root of all evil is the love of money ..." (1 Timothy 6:10)


Jesus said something bigger and that is the greatest of human evils. The real root of our human evils is not loving God first; and is not loving our neighbor, as we should have loved ourselves (Mark 12:32-33, Luke 10:27). Notice that Paul himself clarified this truth, otherwise, in Rom_13: 10 “Love does no wrong to a neighbor; so that compliance with the law is love. "


It is possible that whoever contradicts a truth suffer apathy, indifference, even hostility of those who hear it as different opinion; because it goes against a long-accepted “principle” teaching, particularly if it goes against what is estimated as a true in a religious system, because it is against the identity of a group and that´s the truth every individual is called to defend, privately or within groups, as it is currently assumed.


Jesus didn´t refuted the Father, and instead, He perfectly “added” the real significance, fulfilling what He (God) said.


When God sent Jesus He sent Himself:


Mat 21:37 Finally he sent his son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'


Luk 3:22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form, like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, "You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased."


Mat 17:5 He was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him."


Mat 3:17 and behold, a voice from heaven said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."
His truth was superior to the practice of His folks and days. His significance was greater because it was God Himself speaking through the mouth of His son and (Joh 14:10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.) And from my point of view, such fanaticism for others who aren´t Jesus, won´t take a long tour to see the cult of personalism to anything that the apostles might have said, and similarly to a former case, Saul-Paul also spoke of what he heard his lifetime: 1Co_1 12 “I mean, every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. "And, being just what I want from myself, I´d say, "1Co_3: 4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos, are ye not carnal?”


If at old times there was such personalism worshiping fame and names, present today´s attitude and bias aren´t a great thing we had and, in relation to Jesus Christ ministry, what´s another man or woman?


Shaul Paul, the one who once compared to those Jesus chose (2Co 12:11 I have been a fool! You forced me to it, for I ought to have been commended by you. For I was not at all inferior to these super-apostles, even though I am nothing.) said or wrote to us:

1Co_3: 5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos? Servants through whom you believed; even as far as the Lord assigned each. "


God will judge what I want Him to do within my spirit. I am jealous of the Lord Jesus Christ, and my zeal is not for Paul´s or any men´s teaching.
