Egan and Moreno explore how freshmen college students interacted with Facebook to self-report on stress and the outcomes of that stress. Egan and Moreno start off by explaining that chronic stress can lead to negative consequences, such as anorexia nervosa, chronic fatigue symptom and heart disease to name a few.
