Teens Set New Rules of Engagement in the Age of Social Media: Generation Redefines Friendship as Virtual Communication Plays Increasingly Important Role in Relationships

 

For today's teen, friendships are developed in areas beyond the school walls or their neighborhoods. Email and social networking sites such as MySpace(R), Sconex, and Facebook(TM) allow young people to expand their social connections by contacting and becoming friends with people who they have not necessarily met in person. Alloy Media + Marketing and Harris Interactive(R) findings from a collaborative study offer an emerging picture of what friendship means to today's youth. New technologies shift means of communication across this digital generation, as teens come to define their closest circles by those they are connected with both online and offline.

 

Online social networks are providing fertile ground for teens to practice social behaviors, to try out different personas in their exploration for identity, and to nurture friendships. In some cases, online social networks allow for more intimate connections than offline relationships. The study depicts a generation more at ease through virtual communication, with many reporting they are more likely to reveal their true selves and to share more personal information with friends online than face-to-face.

 

According to Suzanne Martin, Ph.D., Research Manager Youth and Education Research, Harris Interactive, "The Internet plays an increasingly important role in kids' friendships. Social networking websites aid in youth development by providing an arena to build meaningful relationships, establish independence, strengthen their identity and become connected to a community that is not limited to their physical community."
