How do mobile Facebook apps affect students' interactions (discussions, sharing, etc) with news content and peers?

As part of the psychological mobile effects group, I researched how individuals with Facebook mobile applications on their Smart Phones interacted with the news online and offline.

One interesting significant finding was that the more news links individuals shared on Facebook mobile (FBM), the more often they liked their friends news links on FBM. It also makes sense that the more concerned participants felt about how others would react to their current events comments on FBM, the more uncomfortable they felt discussing the news with friends in person. Futhermore, the more uninformed participants felt without FBM for one day, the more anxious they felt without FBM for one day.

Although it was not significant, there was also a positive trend found between how much time individuals spend on FBM and how anxious individuals found without FBM for one day.
