| description | Previous studies concluded that ostracism will lead to much distress. However, not much
research is being done on the relationship between blogging and ostracism. Sixty undergraduate
students were divided into two conditions (ostracised versus non-ostracised), and Cyberball was
used to evoke the effect of ostracism, while Twitter was employed as a mean to gauge for
ostracism. Result shows that ostracised participants displayed higher need for Affiliation, and
gender differences on the need for Affiliation, Power and Achievement had partly been
observed. However, ostracised participants and individuals who had higher negative affect did
not tweet more to relief their feelings. Also, no significant effect was found for self-esteem and
extraversion between users on their number of tweets. |
