“It may look like I’m doing nothing, but I’m actively waiting for my problems to go away.” – Posting, reading, and responding to status updates is an integral part of many peoples’ daily lives. However, the role of personality in predicting social responses to status updates remains largely unexplored.

Deters and her colleague recruited about 100 undergraduates (all Facebook users) at the University of Arizona. All participants filled out initial surveys to measure their levels of loneliness, happiness and depression, and they gave the researchers access to their Facebook profiles by friending a dummy user created for the experiment. The students were sent an analysis of their average weekly status updates (online wall-memos) and some of the participants were then told to post more statuses than usual over the next seven days. During that week, all completed a short online questionnaire at the end of each day about their mood and level of social connection. Read extra details on http://www.status.desi/sad-status/.
One element of Facebook that we may not realize is how often we use the Like to affirm something about ourselves. In a study of more than 58,000 people who made their likes public through a Facebook app, researchers discovered that Likes could predict a number of identification traits that users had not disclosed: “Feeding people’s “likes” into an algorithm, information hidden in the lists of favorites predicted whether someone was white or African American with 95% accuracy, whether they were a gay male with 88% accuracy, and even identified participants as a Democrat or Republican with 85% accuracy. The ‘likes’ list predicted gender with 93% accuracy and age could be reliably determined 75% of the time.”

You’re that person who just needs to tell everyone the ins and outs of your cheating partner or how your mucus plug looked when it dropped out right before you went into labor. You’re also that person who posts those long-ass statuses that go on and on and on about your stupid, boring, day. Ah! Get off Facebook and get a real live human friend, oversharer!
