"The Blackberry Project: Capturing the Content of Adolescents' Text Messaging." (2011): n.pag. EBSCO. Web. 4 Mar 2013. This article is about how adolescents have a hard time talking to each other face to face. Because text messaging is used mostly by adolescents, they have the hardest time talking face to face with most people. 75% of 12-to-17 year olds own a cell phone. 72% of them use texting everyday sending about 200 texts a day. After taking a poll and asking adolescents what their lives would be like without a cell phone, most responded with My social life would end or be greatly worsened if I could not use text messaging. More reports have shown that young girls have it worse than boys do. Girls text a lot more frequently, contacting friends daily, whereas boys do not use text messaging as often. I believe that this source is very reliable. It came from the library website and it is a scholarly reviewed article. After reading this article I feel like is reliable because the process that they took to retrieve this information was very specific. There were multiple steps to this process and they explained each step thoroughly. First they talked about the participants of the project, then the actual procedure, the measures, and finally the results of the project. I feel as if the authors of this article definitely knew what they were talking about. They seemed to have a very high knowledge of this subject and of all of their test subjects which I think is very important. Overall, this article has helped me in my process of my own personal project. I feel like is has given me very good information on my topic. Something that I found very interesting was

Mabry2 the fact of how many adolescents actually own and use their cell phone, or how often that they use it. This has given me a new look on my test subjects because Ive been mainly focusing on college students, but after reading this article it made me realize that adolescents probably have a harder time with face to face contact rather than college students. Reich, Stephanie, Subrahmanyam, Kaveri, Espinoza, Guadalupe. "Friending, IMing, and Hanging Out Face-to-Face: Overlap in Adolescents Online and Offline Social Networks." 48. (2012): 356-68.EBSCO. Web. 6 Mar 2013. 93% of teens (12 to 17) use the internet. Of this 93%, 73% have a social network. This article focuses on what exactly teens do on social networking sites and why they do them. It talks about how teens form different relationships on Facebook, Twitter, etc. but they dont actually know the person very well. By forming these friendships, teens lack the skill of having face to face contact with each other. This article also talks about how teens seem to talk to big groups of people at a time. By doing this, it makes it harder for them to have a more personal conversation with just one person face to face. Some people think that having a social networking site can be dangerous for teens because a lot of teens accept friends that they dont know, causing them to talk to complete strangers. I think that this source is also very reliable. It came from the library site from EBSCO. It is also a scholarly reviewed article. This article was written by men and women from California State University and University of California. These people work in the Childrens Digital Media Center in Los Angeles. I think that they have very good information and they have excellent evidence to support what they are writing about. Like the other article, they go through a step by

Mabry3 step process, explaining everything along the way. Starting with the participants and ending with explaining the results. This article has given me really good information. I feel that I have become more aware of the different social medias and how much that they are used by the teen aged people. A piece of information that I found to be helpful was when it talked about how teens are so used to talking in groups on the internet that they forget how to have a personal conversation with a person outside of a social network. Thats ultimately what Im trying to prove in my project so reading that helped me prove my point, but then again thats only the second article that Ive read but it definitely helped. Pea, Roy, Clifford Nass, Lyn Meheula, Marcus Rance, Aman Kumar, Holden Bamford, Matthew Nass, and Aneesh Simah, Stillerman Benjamin, Yang Steven, Zhou Michael. "Media Use, Faceto-Face Communication, Media Multitasking, and Social Well-Being Among 8- to 12-Year-Old Girls." 48. (2012): 327-36. EBSCO. Web. 6 Mar 2013. This article connects with an age that is a little bit younger than the normal age group that is tested. They addressed the relationships between the girls media use, face-to-face communication, and media multitasking and their overall social success, feelings of acceptance and normalcy among friends, and relative dominance of in-person/online friends as sources of positive and negative social feelings. After being on the internet and social medias so much, children can have a hard time with their growth and development causing them to have a hard time with face to face contact.

Mabry4 I believe that this article is trustworthy. Like the others, it came from the library website from EBSCO and it is scholarly reviewed. The information was gathered and the article was written by about ten different people. Each one of these people is from Stanford University, which is the worlds leading research and teaching institution. So I believe that all of their information is very reliable and all of it is very true. This article has given me good information, but Im not too sure that its going to help me a lot in the long run. This article mainly focused on only girls ages 8-to-12. What I did notice though, is that these girls have the exact same symptoms I guess you could call it, as the older teens do. It actually helped to tie the two articles together though because it helps to see how much it affects the children starting at such a young age. Markovitzky, Omer, Gideon Anholt, and Joshua Lipsitz. "Haven't we met somewhere before? The effects of a brief internet introduction on social anxiety in a subsequent face to face interaction." (2012): n.pag.EBSCO. Web. 9 Mar 2013. This article is mainly about social anxiety. It talks about how users of different social medias can be very anxious while trying to talk to someone face to face. They did a project where they took 30 socially anxious people and 30 non-socially anxious people. They put them in a standardized chat room on the internet followed by a regular face to face interaction. The people that were ok in the chat rooms seemed to have a hard time talking to someone face to face, while the ones that didnt really like the chat rooms were perfectly fine talking to someone face to face. If that doesnt say something about social media affecting someone I dont know what does.

Mabry5 This article is reliable because, like the other ones, this one is from the library website from EBSCO. It is a scholarly reviewed article. This was written by three people from the Department of Psychology, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beer Sheva, Israel. I feel like the author(s) have had a lot of time to spend on this subject and I feel like that would know a lot about it based on the fact of where they went to school and what department theyre in. Since Psychology is the study of mental functions and behaviors, I think that these men know what theyre talking about. This article has definitely given me good information, because Ive never really thought about social anxiety and how social medias have a large effect on that. I believe that social anxiety has a huge role in face to face contact which ultimately ties back to the use of social medias. This article has helped me prove my point in my project because people are still having a hard time with face to face contact.

Overall, I feel very good about my inquiry project. I think that these articles have helped me a lot and they have given me very good information. They have made me consider a lot of different things about my project, good things of course. I definitely do not want to change my project because I have a lot of good information now that will help me in the long run of this project. To restate my question, it would be How do social Medias affect the way that teens interact with each other face to face? I found a lot of surprising things in the research that I did. There were so many surprising statistics. The one I shared that talked about how many adolescents own a cell phone and how much theyre on it really surprised me. The main thing that I have changed in my project is making my test subjects teens from ages 12 to 18. I started focusing on college aged groups, but after reading these articles, I have found that doing my project on teens will give me a lot more helpful information. I didnt really have any clear ideas about this project in the beginning. The only opinion that I had was that I thought social medias have had a huge impact on people trying to have face to face conversations. After reading these articles, it has not contradicted anything that I thought; it has gone right along with my ideas and opinions. If there was any new questions that I would have for this project it would have to be, are teens the main age that social medias affect? I feel like the answer to that question would be yes but I would still like to do a little bit more research on that because Im not one hundred percent sure. This research hasnt made me wonder about a lot of stuff. It really has just given me a lot of good information that I needed to move me along in the process of actually doing my project. The only thing left for me to do is go and kind of observe and maybe talk to people and see how they talk back to me; see if they actually look at my eyes when they talk.
