you’re changing things about yourself
you’re changing things about yourself before you post them online alright and
before you post them online alright and
before you post them online alright and again you have this this mix of your
again you have this this mix of your
again you have this this mix of your public life and your private life on
public life and your private life on
public life and your private life on Facebook which is different from some of
Facebook which is different from some of
Facebook which is different from some of the other platforms all right and so
the other platforms all right and so

remember when I said earlier that lesson
remember when I said earlier that lesson two from the Harvard story that social
two from the Harvard story that social
two from the Harvard story that social media use has could have serious
media use has could have serious
media use has could have serious unintended consequences and it’s the
unintended consequences and it’s the

case for Facebook as well and and that’s
case for Facebook as well and and that’s where most of the research has focused
where most of the research has focused
where most of the research has focused on research on social media so some of
on research on social media so some of
on research on social media so some of these consequences have to do with body
these consequences have to do with body

Facebook has been shown to drive more
Facebook has been shown to drive more comparisons more body image concerns
comparisons more body image concerns
comparisons more body image concerns more attention to physical appearances
more attention to physical appearances
more attention to physical appearances of others okay and which is even more
of others okay and which is even more
of others okay and which is even more disturbing more disordered eating
disturbing more disordered eating
disturbing more disordered eating behaviors all right also a lot of
behaviors all right also a lot of
behaviors all right also a lot of research has been done on the connection

okay but things are not so so black and
okay but things are not so so black and white in this as well they’re a lot more
white in this as well they’re a lot more
white in this as well they’re a lot more nuanced I mean the thing here to
nuanced I mean the thing here to
nuanced I mean the thing here to remember is that in a lot of the time
remember is that in a lot of the time
remember is that in a lot of the time this research has looked at how much
this research has looked at how much
this research has looked at how much time students and typically student
time students and typically student
time students and typically student populations are studied but how much
populations are studied but how much
populations are studied but how much time young people spent on online on
time young people spent on online on
time young people spent on online on social media okay and so this is very

of that years all right so the time that
of that years all right so the time that you spend online matters the amount of
you spend online matters the amount of
you spend online matters the amount of time you spent and the frequency of
time you spent and the frequency of
time you spent and the frequency of visiting but also it’s it’s not so
visiting but also it’s it’s not so
visiting but also it’s it’s not so important that and
important that and
important that and again things are a bit a little bit more
again things are a bit a little bit more
again things are a bit a little bit more nuanced and the new answers come from
nuanced and the new answers come from
nuanced and the new answers come from how you spend your time online what you
how you spend your time online what you
how you spend your time online what you do when you are on Facebook all right
do when you are on Facebook all right

and so there has been some some research
and so there has been some some research on that as well and what you do really
on that as well and what you do really
on that as well and what you do really really matters and can change those
really matters and can change those
really matters and can change those consequences that they just talked about
consequences that they just talked about
