Abstract

This paper presents a literature review focused solely on research about users¡¯ behaviour on Facebook. The selected studies were chosen because of their application of the same variables, age groups, or theoretical approaches as the present research. This paper reviews studies that have examined obtained gratifications from using Facebook, followed by a section that discusses studies concerning status updates; and then reviews studies of self-disclosure and concern studies that have investigated gender differences on Facebook. Next, the final section concludes the paper by highlighting the gaps in the literature.
