Part 1:
What separates friends and acquaintances and what makes them become the other?
Part 2:
Maggie- I think that while your question is good, you should make it slightly more narrow, possibly by focusing on either social or emotional instead of both. This would cut your work down in half. In addition, you can make the target range smaller, focusing on particular groups of people we see every day like co-workers, fellow students, etc.
Rachel- Rachel, I feel like you have a great jumping off point for a question, but you can make it much more specific, or at least focus on certain aspects of it. You could focus on personality tests, compatibility tests, and even shared interests and then focus on these shared aspects in relationships that have started online and offline, and see how important these were in the long term.
Part 3:
I was just wondering if your question is generalizing or are you looking for the specific actions that friends do but acquaintances do not. Maybe your research is easier when you generalize but it would be interesting to focus on the actual things friends do for one.
