1.18 Shyness on Facebook. Given the anonymity afforded to individuals in online interac- tions, researchers hypothesized that shy individuals would have more favorable attitudes toward Facebook and that shyness would be positively correlated with time spent on Facebook. They also hypothesized that shy individuals would have fewer Facebook "Friends" just like they have fewer friends than non-shy individuals have in the offline world. Data were collected on 103 undergrad- uate students at a university in southwestern Ontario vin online questionnaires. The study states "Participants were recruited through the university's psychology participation pool. After indicat- ing an interest in the study, participants were sent an e-mail containing the study's URL as well as the necessary login credentials." Are the results of this study generalizable to the population of all Facebook users?
