Description

The aim of this longitudinal study was to explore face-to-face (FTF) communication and social networking services (SNS) communication among freshmen in college. Participants were 64 undergraduate students who answered a self-report questionnaire four times during their freshman year: one month after begining college (May), July, October, and December. The results showed that, across the four points, there were no differences in the students’ reported number of friends and frequency FTF and SNS communication. The conditional uniform graph test showed a significant positive correlation between the four measures of FTF communication networks, as well as between SNS communication networks. However, SNS communication networks were less correlated between May and July, and between May and December, when compared with correlations of FTF communication networks during those same periods.
