“…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.
