New research has found that spending less time on Facebook could boost your well-being and level of happiness.
Carried out by a team of psychologists from Ruhr-Universität Bochum , Germany, the new study looked at 286 participants who used Facebook for an average of an hour each day. The participants were asked to complete questionnaires recording their Facebook use, their well-being and their lifestyle before the start of the study, one week into it, at the end of the two weeks, and one month and three months after the study had finished.
“This is significant, because passive use in particular leads to people comparing themselves with others and thus experiencing envy and a reduction in psychological well-being,” commented lead author Dr Julia Brailovskaia.
