Paper Summary

The study looked at how people interact on Facebook to see if they follow the idea of giving back when someone does something nice for them. They found that when someone shares more nice messages on Facebook, they tend to get more nice messages back from their friends. This shows that people on Facebook do follow the idea of giving back when someone does something nice for them, just like in real life.
