If we can predict depression based on disclosures that discuss sadness, loneliness etc, can we predict depression in those who only disclose extremely positive things? People self select disclosures to make their life seem perfect, but they could be depressed #psychoftechsp2019
Although most people do use Facebook for procrastination, what about those who use it to help them? some people work better under pressure, and others might think of how to problem solve while they are mindlessly doing other things, like being on FB. #PsychOfTechSP2019
As VR has helped educate those on climate change, do we think it will help educate in other areas of crisis as well? Will VR serve as a replacement for real teachers during these times of educational budget cuts? #PsychOfTechSP2019
If someone has a more private profile with less people to disclose information to, how does this affect their โimagined audienceโ if they know everyone who is following their self-disclosures? #PsychOfTechSP2019

Will we need to know/discuss the similarities and differences between different models/theories ? And I would like to go over some main ideas we talked about in class (not in readings or from slides) that would be helpful to know for the midterm #PsychOfTechSP2019
Going off of the idea that the number of communication platforms strengthens your relationship with someone, would Taylor & Bazarova think that the rise in dating platforms (where you connect with multiple people) cause stronger or weaker relationships? #PsychOfTechSP2019
In the Tong & Walther article it stated that people who were online preferred their online relationships, and those who are offline preferred their local relationships. I wonder how the prevalence of FaceTime would alter these findings today. #PsychOfTechSP2019
There was no correlation between lying and liking/trust/attractiveness, yet earlier in the study it was mentioned that butler lies comprise "20-40% of texting lies." If people are not lying about any of the aforementioned factors, why are they lying? #PsychOfTechSP2019
If 27% of FtF interactions involved some form of deception, what would the percentage be today? With such an increase of platforms to facilitate CMC today, would the level of deception during FtF interactions be higher or lower than it was in 2004? #PsychOfTechSP2019
My question for Dr. Yoon Choi: Even though the exposure time is more limited, why do most people feel comfortable exposing more vulnerability during a snap chat or instagram story, when all of the information is stored exactly the same as a regular post? #PsychOfTechSP2019
With everyone today trying to break away from gender stereotypes and go away from gender labels, I find it interesting that people are trying to categorize web design into genders as well. Why is a poor web design labeled as masculine? #PsychOfTechSP2019
I agree with the idea that teens disclose more offline, but today it seems to not positively impact their psychosocial development. Are teens utilizing the idea of visual anonymity more today for their own safety, to be able to speak their mind without fear? #PsychOfTechSP2019
Although it is true that media (radio, tv, gaming, social media etc.) influences our thoughts and feelings, why do we still look for connections between media exposure and social/personal violence when previous research continuously proves otherwise ? #PsychOfTechSP2019
