After blogging regularly for two months, people felt they had better social support and friendship networks than those who don’t blog. Blogging can help you feel less isolated, more connected to a community and more satisfied with your f
riendships, both online and face-to-face, new Australian research has found.
Researchers James Baker and Professor Susan Moore from Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne have written two papers investigating the psychological benefits of blogging, regularly updating personal web pages with information that invites others to comment.
The first, published in the latest issue of the journal Cyber Psychology & Behavior, compares the mental health of people intending to blog with that of p
eople not planning to blog. Moore says the researchers messaged 600 My Space users personally and directed them to an online survey. A total of 134 completed the questionnaire; 84 intended to blog and 50 didn’t.
“We found potential bloggers were less satisfied with their friendships and they felt less socially integrated, and they didn’t feel as much part of a community as the people who weren’t interested in blogging…” Moore says. “It was as if they were saying ‘I’m going to do this blogging and it’s going to help me.’”
And it seemed to do the trick, as the researchers’ second study shows. This study, which is yet to be published, was conducted two months later. The research
ers sent out questionnaires to the same group of My Space users; this time 59 responded. Bloggers reported a greater sense of belonging to a group of like-minded people and feeling more confident for they could rely on others for help. All respondents, whether or not they blogged, reported feeling less anxious, depressed and stressed after two months of online social networking.
“So going onto My Space had lifted the mood of all participants in some way,” Moore says. “Maybe they’d just made more social connections.” Moore acknowledges this early research and hopes to follow a larger group of people for a longer period time to test some of the research findings.

?Long time ago, if a child had some problems in his life, he might go home and write in his 21 . Now, a child with the same problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog(博客. In many ways, a diary and a blog are very 22 .So, what makes blogging different from writing in a 23 diary?
The biggest difference is that blogging is much more 24 than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats her diary like a book full of 25 that she does not want to 26 .
It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog 27 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her blog. She 28 about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. 29 I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but 30 in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 31 that my sister might read it!
The biggest 32 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I were angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 33 about her in my diary, she would never know. 34 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend 35 read her blog and get angry.
There are also 36 to blogging, of course. If I were feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “Nobody cares about me,” 37 would know about it. However if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would 38 respond(回应)and tell her how much they like her. Blogs help people 39 in contact with their friends and to hear what the people 40 them are doing.
