Research has viewed social status as synonymous with popularity.
People with higher social status are generally perceived as
possessing more positive characteristics. In regards to social
networking sites, specifically Facebook, research suggests that the
network size coefficient (the number of friends one has)
contributes greatly to the perception of an individual. The current
study revealed that participants rated a mock Facebook user with a
high number of friends as friendlier, more likeable, approachable,
and were more willing to donate money to a cause championed by her.
Analyses from the NEO-PI R instrument revealed that the mock
Facebook user with more friends was rated as less self conscious,
higher on degree of warmth, more gregarious, more assertive, more
active socially, more likely to engage in excitement seeking
behaviors, and more trustworthy. The results of this study
illustrated the impact that social status has on the perception of
an individual. Past results indicated that social status affected
the perception of individual in face to face interactions but this
study showed that these findings are generalizable to social
networking sites.
