Researchers at a number of academic institutions — plus at Facebook itself — have conducted an ever-increasing number of studies into how logging in to Facebook, scrolling through your News Feed, checking up on what your friends and acquaintances are doing, and posting your own photos and status updates on the social network affect how you feel about yourself and your life. And a lot of what they’ve found doesn’t bode so well for Facebook and for those addicted to checking in to the social network.
Researchers have found that using Facebook frequently is linked to symptoms of depression. They’ve proven that emotions, both positive and negative, spread easily via the posts users share on the social network. They’ve found that simply logging in to Facebook regularly negatively impacts how happy young adults are. And they’ve found that passive participation or feeling ostracized on the social network lead to negative psychological effects. Read on for the results of four of these studies — and then perhaps consider checking in to the social network a little less frequently, or taking it a little less seriously when you do.
