“…identity is unpredictable, changeable, imitative, often incongruous, or not. On social networking sites like Facebook, we witness the fluid alterations, adjustments and adaptations of college students’ identities-the Facebook profile “is” and “isn’t” the student user. Facebook profiles can be misrepresentative though not inauthentic; students can create profiles that are mischievous, ironic, or decidedly earnest.”

New study finds no correlation between Facebook

and lower grades: Last month we reported on

research from Ohio State University that found a link

between Facebook use and lower grades among

college students. In their attempt to replicate the results

of that study, researchers from Illinois-based

Northwestern University found no evidence of

Facebook use correlating with diminished academic

performance. Northwestern U News Release | Read the

full report

Facebook users get lower grades

A new study correlates lower marks, less studying with

Facebook use

The time students spend “poking” friends, posting

photos and updating their status on Facebook may

bear some relationship to how they’re faring

academically, a new study suggests. Researchers

found that students who use the popular networking

site spend less time studying and have lower grade

point averages compared to those not on Facebook.
