The Facebook Experience: A phenomenology of Facebook use
Journal Title: Online Journal of Communication and Media Technologies - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Based on the diaries and interviews of five Facebook users, we found that the phenomenology of Facebook use can be divided into three phases: managing intentions, experiencing the consequences of actions, and feeling a range of emotions. We propose that the theoretical framework we found in this study—of understanding the experience of Facebook as an experience of varying degrees of personal control—can be applied to understanding other social experiences as well.
