Answer 1

    New mothers who read and write blogs may feel less alone than mothers who do not participate in a blogging community, according to family studies researchers. “It looks like blogging might be helping these women because they may begin to feel more connected to their extended family and friends, which leads them to feel more supported,” said Brandon T. McDaniel, graduate student in human development and family studies at Penn State.

    McDaniel and colleagues from Brigham Young University surveyed 157 new mothers about their media use and their happiness. The moms were all first-time parents with only one child under the age of 18 months — most much younger than this. The researchers report in the online version of Maternal and Child Health Journal that blogging had a positive impact（影响）on new mothers, but social networking — mainly Facebook and MySpace did not seem to impact them.

    “We’re not saying that those who end up feeling more supported all of a sudden no longer have stresses, they’re still going to have those stressful moments you have as a parent,” said McDaniel. “But because they’re feeling more supported, their thoughts and their feelings about that stress might change, and they begin to feel less stressed about those things.”

    McDaniel pointed out several potential benefits for new mothers who blog, including giving moms both a way to connect with family and friends who do not live nearby and an outlet to use and show their hobbies and accomplishments, particularly for stay-at-home moms.

    Because this is one of the first studies to look at the effects of participation in online communities on new mothers, McDaniel noted that there is not enough information collected yet to determine how or why blogging and social networking have markedly different impacts on new moms. However, this study demonstrated that mothers who blogged frequently show stronger connections to their family and friends. That possibility is going to have some other profound influences on them, including their relationship with their husband, the ways that they’re feeling about their parenting stress, and eventually into their levels of depression.
