\"\"Investigadores canadienses encontraron que las personas con baja autoestima ahogan a sus amigos de Facebook con detalles negativos de sus vidas, lo que hace que estos amigos tengan una mala imagen de ellos. De acuerdo a los investigadores los hallazgos que aparecen en la edici\u00f3n en l\u00ednea de la revista Psychological Science, fueron inesperados. <\/p>\n

Muchas personas con una autoestima baja se sienten inc\u00f3modas al compartir sus pensamientos y sentimientos cara a cara, pero Facebook les permite hacerlo remotamente, explic\u00f3 la autora del estudio Amanda Forest, estudiante de postgrado de la Universidad de Waterloo, en Ontario.<\/p>\n

\u00abTen\u00edamos la idea de que Facebook podr\u00eda ser un lugar realmente fant\u00e1stico para fortalecer sus relaciones\u00bb, sin embargo, aunque las personas con una autoestima baja podr\u00edan sentirse m\u00e1s seguras al hacer revelaciones personales en Facebook, hacerlo podr\u00eda en realidad causarles un da\u00f1o social. <\/p>\n

\u00abSi hablas con alguien frente a frente, la reacci\u00f3n personal podr\u00eda darte una indicaci\u00f3n de que tu comentario no les gust\u00f3, o que est\u00e1n hartos de escuchar tu negatividad\u00bb, coment\u00f3 Forest.<\/p>\n

Pero cuando las personas tienen una reacci\u00f3n negativa a una publicaci\u00f3n en Facebook, tienden a no divulgarla o no hacer comentarios. \u00abEn Facebook, uno no ve la mayor\u00eda de las reacciones\u00bb, advirti\u00f3 Forest. <\/p>\n

*Nota de Psychological Science
\nFacebook users with low self-esteem may be driving people away<\/p>\n

A new study, set to be published in the journal Psychological Science, reveals that Facebook users with low self-esteem may be pushing their friends away by posting too many dreary comments and pessimistic updates. <\/p>\n

\u00abWe had this idea that Facebook could be a really fantastic place for people to strengthen their relationships,\u00bb says researcher Amanda Forest, a graduate student at the University of Waterloo in Canada, in a press release last week.<\/p>\n

But rather, in three separate studies on undergraduate students, researchers revealed that those with low self-esteem use Facebook \u00abcounterproductively\u00bb \u2013 rather than strengthening and building much-needed friendships, they tend to use the site \u00abin a manner that may push others away,\u00bb they wrote.<\/p>\n

Forest and Wood also found that people with low self-esteem get more responses from their Facebook friends when they post \u00abhighly positive updates, compared to less positive ones.<\/p>\n

People with high self-esteem, on the other hand, get more responses when they post negative items, perhaps because these are rarer for them, the researchers noted.<\/p>\n

\u00abWe do not advocate being inauthentic,\u00bb the authors wrote. But if you lack confidence and self-esteem and want to use Facebook to overcome social anxieties, try switching your focus.<\/p>\n

\u00abRather than posting phony positive updates, [those with low self-esteem] might try sharing more of the positive things that do happen to them, and try being selective about what negative things they post.\u00bb<\/p>\n

This study follows another announced last year that claimed Facebook and similar social networking sites can leave some feeling depressed. <\/p>\n

Stanford University researchers showed that because people tend to publicize only good moments, photos, and events in their lives, while hiding the negative ones, users are left with a skewed view of their friends’ lives, feeling sad or dull by comparison.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
