“…The open and self-disclosing verbal communication that engenders role-role interaction has been studied under various names, but most commonly as responsiveness. The interpersonal process model of intimacy proposed by Reis and Shaver (1988) holds that intimacy is experienced in an interaction if a partner's response is viewed as understanding, validatating, and caring, and other studies have similarly fould that partner responsiveness is the critical component in the experience of intimacy (Berg, 1987;Berg & Archer, 1982;Davis, 1982;Kelley, Berscheid, Christensen, & Harvey, 1983). Therefore, we posit that in the context of media use, intimacy can be represented as two constructs: feelings of privacy and of responsiveness.…”

“…The importance of feedback in building intimacy and enhancing relationships has been well documented in the self-disclosure literature (e.g., Berg, 1987). Both self-disclosure and their partner's response toward self-disclosure affect intimacy and social-relational benefits in interactions.…”

The present study examines if Facebooking can contribute to psychological well-being and if so, which aspects of Facebook use could play a significant role. Matching crawled data with self-reported datamotivation, and social network services (SNSs), such as Facebook, seem to provide a handy way to satisfy this basic human need. Then, is this social networking related to gratifying social relationships and psychological well-being? We attempted to answer this question by examining how Facebook users actually interact with their Facebook friends. Specifically, we focused on the number of Facebook interactions Facebook users has with their friends and the speed of friends' feedback to a Facebook user's post. We propose that more social interactions and faster responses from friends could be key aspects of understanding positive role of Facebook use in psychological well-being. We also investigate whether individual differences in sensitivity to other's behaviors and feelings (i.e., interpersonal awareness tendency) play a moderating role in the proposed relationships.To accomplish the aforementioned goals, we use two sets of data: crawled and self-reported data. First, we crawled study participants' one-month period of Facebook activities. As an unobtrusive and objective measure, crawled data could provide the reports about the number of Facebook interactions (e.g., number of comments to their posts) and each of their time stamps during the month prior to the study. Second, we conducted an online survey to measure participants' perceived social support and loneliness. Matching the two data sets allowed us to examine the relationship between Facebook use and psychological well-being.

“…In dyadic relationships, individuals are not only influenced by their own experience, but they both influence and are influenced by their friends' behaviors (Reis & Shaver, 1988); the experiences and attachment histories of both individuals are brought into the exchange. In addition, reciprocity is an important element in intimate conversations (Derlega, Winstead, Wong, & Greenspan, 1987;Miller & Kenny, 1986), in that self-disclosure and responsive behaviors tend to elicit these behaviors from partners (Berg, 1987). Because attachment style will have an influence on behavior, and because people are affected by the behavior of others, the quality of the interactions in a relationship will be influenced by both individuals' attachment.…”

Abstract'Itvo studies with college students tested the hypothesis that a secure attachment style enhances intimacy in friendship. Three intimacy characteristics were studied: self-disclosure; responsiveness to a partner's disclosure; and feeling understood, validated, and cared for by a partner during conversations. In Study 1, individuals with a secure attachment style were higher on all three intimacy characteristics In Study 2, a lab-based assessment of intimacy revealed some relations between attachment and intimacy, providing mixed support for the hypothesis. Both studies found gender differences in intimacy characteristics The findings provide a starting point for a model accounting for individual differences in friendship.
