Assistant Professor Sara Grady was recently published in the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication with research exploring how social media interactions - being included, ignored, or rejected - affect people’s desire to disclose personal details.  

The findings suggest that rejected individuals aren’t completely avoiding social interactions, but instead selectively avoid the people who hurt them.
