A recent study conducted by scientists at the University of Michigan found that the more people log in to Facebook, the less happy they
are.
"On the surface, Facebook provides an invaluable resource for fulfilling the basic human need for social connection," social psychologist Ethan Kross told The Telegraph . "But rather than enhance well-being, we found that Facebook use predicts the opposite result – it undermines it." In other words, the more people used Facebook, the more miserable they grew.
While scientific, the study was not an extensive one — only 82 young adults
were observed by Kross and his team while research was being conducted. A link to the full study can be found below: http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0069841
