Hey y'all, one of my students is doing a study on Facebook usage in older adults (ages 65+). If you are in this age range, please take this survey! Or share it with people who are over 65. This is an important study because most research on the effects of social media are done using a sample of teenagers or young adults, even though Facebook is the most popular social media platform for older adults. So this will be the first type of study to examine these effects in older adults.

Here's some great advice on how to talk to your child about differences they notice in other people!
