Correlation & Experimentation: a Social Psychology Review

Correlation & Experimentation

                The difference between correlation and experimentation are quite vast. Succinctly put, correlation is based on statistics derived from how closely two separate variables are related to one another based on observation. One of the main differences in correlation as opposed to experimentation is where if one variable is affected for whatever reason; it will not affect the results of the overall outcome of the correlation data. In short, if something changes in one variable it does not cause change in the other. Whereas in experimentation is more research based in nature, oriented toward manipulating variables in order to record the difference in outcomes. Therefore a change in one variable will always have an effect or change in the other.

                The unique recent correlation I have chosen for this paper was something I found on The Guardian’s website, which is a UK based news outlet, which states that researchers have found a direct correlation between Facebook users and socially aggressive narcissism. A highly arbitrary phenomena confronting us in our society today is ‘social’ networks. In my opinion, social networking is stripping the core values of what it is to be human right out of the social situation which perpetuates our standards and culture; Giving rise to a new generation of people who find it socially acceptable to just chat on facebook instead of meet for face to face interaction.  People now find it common to simply stalk from profile to profile benounce to the profile owner’s knowledge, to acquire knowledge about what they do or have done. Employers now check facebook and some school applications require your consent to look through your facebook as well, including any and all government positions. So what does this mean for us? What could possibly take rise in the new culture being formed around these sneaky principles, perpetrated by facebook? One study has found that it leads to a rise in socially aggressive narcissists over the internet.

                The exact parameters around the correlation are the link between the number of friends you have on facebook and to the degree in which you are a socially disruptive narcissist. In the research cited, it was found through a series of narcissistic personality inventory questionnaires those individuals whom had a higher number of friends on facebook scored more highly than those who did not. These individuals are those who go out of their way to ensure they ‘tag’ themselves in photos on facebook (not having others do it, but physically taking the time to search through each of their friends and their own pictures to ensure people know it is them). These individuals were also posting on their news feeds way more frequently than those who had a smaller amount of friends.

                There is a direct correlation between the impact this has on society just by how today’s youth are being trained to be more self-conscious than any other time in our history. The use of facebook as the measure of how popular you are, and how your social status ranks, is entirely new in the human social psychological experience. Before it was Myspace, now Facebook has taken over. I believe less of an effect to the public would take place perhaps if children were more heavily regulated by the parents as to their conduct on Facebook, but not just children, because this study does not pertain entirely to children, the adults are the worst ones out there. Any use of a social interface which involves not actually being social, is devastation to our social psychological outlook as a society. I hope we can learn to monitor and grow out of this dark period in history and rise above it to realize how important human to human contact really is.
