Social media, especially social network sites (SNS) such as Facebook have grown rapidly in popularity in the last ten years
To make things even more complex, social media offer public and private communication features that can be further classified, for example, into directed communication or more passive communication [3]
Scholars have wondered how social media might impact the nature of interpersonal relationships and the effects of social capital, i.e., the information and emotional support that people retrieve from their social network
Summary
Especially social network sites (SNS) such as Facebook have grown rapidly in popularity in the last ten years. Traditional research on social capital has shown the benefits people can get from their social networks; strong ties provide them with emotional support ( bonding capital), and weak ties provide them with non-redundant information and different perspectives (bridging capital) [4,5].
