The document summarizes a research study that examined the relationship between college students' use of Facebook and their social capital and psychological well-being. The study surveyed 286 college students about their Facebook use, social connections on and off campus, self-esteem, and life satisfaction. Results showed that stronger Facebook use was positively correlated with bridging social capital (weak ties) and maintaining old friendships, and that these relationships positively impacted self-esteem and life satisfaction. Facebook use was less strongly correlated with bonding social capital (strong ties).
