If you are one of those who keep character and do not interfere with Facebook quarrels, you will surely have met them. The intense discussions at a larger social network are there the worst?
Netiquette experts warn away from the keyboard at such times. Turns out, in addition to sharing too much on Facebook, you might also respond very differently to some online friction.
At least, this is reported in a study published in Psychological Science magazine. Researchers from UC Berkeley and the University of Chicago used 300 volunteers to read, watch a video or hear arguments on controversial issues. The participants then answered various questions about the opinions with which they disagreed.
The Results; It turns out that when someone has opposing opinions they can easily be labeled "uninformed" or "heartless". Meanwhile, those who read the arguments were more averse to opposing opinions.
"People are much more daring on Facebook than they are in real life," Wendy Mencel, director of the Canadian School of Protocol and Etiquette, said in Reader's Digest. "There is one ofconnection between what they write and often forget that their words may offend other people. Social media gives us more space and we have to be aware of what messages we project to the world".
In the light of these findings, researchers are advising to solve our differences by talking to each other, face to face instead of using the keyboard. Every face-to-face meeting can smooth out our disputes and create compromises, according to the researchers.
So the next time your fingers have itching for particularly passionate Facebook discussions, it's a good thing to go for a walk. This could save your reputation as well as your relationships.
