Facebook Interaction Data and Survey of People: 2013 [Republic of Korea]

Data for the research were collected in two ways, through survey and data crawling. A web application using Facebook API was specifically built for the research. In order to measure intimacy levels that users feel towards each of their “friend,” a survey was conducted. Also, to measure similarities and interaction levels between people, users’ 23 profiles and activity log data (between users and each of their “friend”) were crawled through Facebook API.
