Stanford University Teaches Facebook Psychology
A group of students at Stanford University have turned their attention towards a unique course that blends popular culture with the more time-worn principles of psychology. The Psychology of Facebook is the brainchild of Professor B J Fogg, a pioneering persuasion psychologist. He stresses that, Facebook’s unbridled success lies in getting users to to do the work for them with friends persuading friends to post pictures, comments, or upload applications.
