The more we use Facebook, the worse we feel.
That’s what social psychologists at the University of Michigan
report after tracking how 82 young adults used their Facebook accounts
over a two-week period. When the participants started the study, they
rated how satisfied they were with their lives. During the following two
weeks, the researchers texted them at two-hour intervals five times a
day to ask about how they felt about themselves, as well as how much
time they had spent on Facebook since the last time they were texted.
The more time people spent on Facebook during a single two-hour period,
the worse they reported feeling.
