Is There Social Capital in a Social Network Site?: Facebook Use and College Students' Life Satisfaction, Trust, and Participation
TL;DR: Positive relationships between intensity of Facebook use and students' life satisfaction, social trust, civic engagement, and political participation are found, suggesting that online social networks are not the most effective solution for youth disengagement from civic duty and democracy.

Testing the Significance of a Correlation With Nonnormal Data: Comparison of Pearson, Spearman, Transformation, and Resampling Approaches
TL;DR: Among transformation approaches, a general purpose rank-based inverse normal transformation was most beneficial, however, when samples were both small and extremely nonnormal, the permutation test often outperformed other alternatives, including various bootstrap tests.
