Twenty-three undergraduate students participated in six ethnically diverse focus groups of 3–5 people each. The mean age
was 20.5 years, and the range was 18 to 23. Eleven women and 12 men participated in the study. Students who stated they were
active users on MySpace were recruited from psychology classes via a Psychology Department website in exchange for credit.
Participants comprised eight European Americans, five Asian Americans, five Latinos, four Persian Americans, and one African
American. Sixteen participants indicated that both parents had at least some college education, four indicated that only one parent
had at least some college education, and three indicated both parents had less than a college education. Participants reported
logging into MySpace an average of 4.2 days out of theweek and, on average, reported spending 20.11 min each time they logged on.
