Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Psychologists have found that the use of online social networking sites like Facebook can both shape and reflect our personalities. Studies conducted in such diverse countries as the Netherlands, Serbia, Hong Kong, and Korea have demonstrated that those who reported excessive use of social media tend to be more lonely, introverted, and low in self-esteem than those who use it less.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Increasingly, many of us display another face, not in person, but through the Internet on social networking Web sites such as Facebook. Some research suggests that most people are honest about their online faces. A recent large-scale study in Germany found that many people have a tendency to present themselves online as being much more emotionally stable than they really are (Blumer & Doring, 2012).
