Write a blog is good for social relations

Australian researchers Susan Moore and James Baker of Swinburne University in Melbourne conducted a study, published in the journal CyberPsycology and Behavior in which they analyzed the psychological benefits arising out of blogging. The researchers asked 600 users of MySpace in a survey on-line getting 134 accessions. From 134 respondents 80 said they wanted to create from there soon, their own blog. 59 of these have achieved in the two months following the completion of the questionnaire, their intentions.

Whereas when they had their own blog these individuals had declared themselves dissatisfied with their lives to report thereafter had reached a higher mental well-being resulting from the feeling of belonging to a community made up of people with whom we share interests and values as well as emotions and points of view. Furthermore, new bloggers have said they felt more confident about the possibility of being able to count on others as well as less depressed and anxious. The figure is even more interesting is that the benefits of constant blogging is reflected not only the quality of relationships that exist in a virtual, but also on those “real.”

That evidence in fact contradicts the view, widespread, according to which so assiduously attend the web affecting the quality of everyday interpersonal relationships, offering alternative false to those who fail to provide satisfactory human relations within their group membership. Although the study conducted by Australian researchers has the merit to highlight an aspect overlooked or ignored, the potential of the internet, however it was done on a sample of individuals too small because its results can be considered definitive. Until maybe we should be expanded to reflect a bit about what we really when we turn on the computer and click on the icon, for better or worse, opening the window on our world.
