Facebook for psychological research

Facebook is particularly convenient for conducting socialscience research.

The profiles contain demographic information andbehavioral footprints that are very personal.

The breadth of Facebook data allows for discoveringpatterns that would be impossible to detect using traditionalapproaches.

Huge databases can be build from data provided byFacebook users (e.g., psychological tests).

Using Facebook data has flaws (e.g., users can control andselectively remove information from their profiles).

The biggest issue with using Facebook for research is theethical one.
