Jane HarrisBroad-based study showing that use of Facebook does not negatively impact academic performance.
-
three data sets: one with a large sample of undergraduate students from the University of Illinois at Chicago, another with a nationally representative cross sectional sample of American 14– to 22–year–olds, as well as a longitudinal panel of American youth aged 14–23. In none of the samples do we find a robust negative relationship between Facebook use and grades. Indeed, if anything, Facebook use is more common among individuals with higher grades.

studies have noted that the use of Facebook is positively related to social capital
-
The results presented in this response paper suggest that there is no negative relationship between Facebook use and academic performance. Two of our analyses suggest that Facebook users were no more or less likely to get good grades than non–users. The third study found evidence that Facebook use was slightly more common among individuals with higher grades. Indeed, our findings are in direct contradiction to those presented in the original FG study as well as the flurry of sensational media that ensued

On the other hand, some research suggests that Facebook users underestimate the potential privacy risks of sharing information on the site
-
As with claims of dangers from older media, a recent study (and corresponding press release) indicating that Facebook use and collegiate grade point averages (GPA) were negatively correlated generated a great deal of media hype (hereafter “FG”; Karpinski, 2009).
-
In the immediate course of only a few days, an unpublished and inadequately reviewed study that emphasized a simple correlation became an established fact when disseminated through the news media.
-
In contrast to the FG study, we find no evidence that Facebook use is related to diminished academic achievement.
-
Data from “102 undergraduate and 117 graduate students at a large, public Midwestern university” were used in the FG study
-
data reported in the paper make it clear that the individuals sampled were unrepresentative of any large, public Midwestern university.
-
Indeed, a sample with 117 graduate students, 96 juniors and seniors, and only six freshman and sophomores is unrepresentative of any university population at all.
