Isn’t it a question you’ve been wanting to ask for some time now?
Well, for a start, if you’re kind of alarmed with how it shapes our society, you might be trying to transcend beyond the flow you get from mindlessly scrolling through your curated Facebook feed.
Somehow, there’s no consensus among the existing research on how using Facebook for longer periods changes us one post at a time.
But from the post published in World Economic Forum, here are some of the notable research findings they compiled:
- The most active Facebook users are females, younger people, and those not currently in a relationship.
- Your “likes” can accurately provide your personality profile way better than your friends and relatives.
- Users with higher degrees of narcissism have deeper self-disclosures and more self-promotional content.
- Users with a higher need to belong disclosed more intimate information.
- People who feel more insecure about their partner’s feelings tend to make their relationship more visible in their photos.
- More time spent using Facebook causes more feelings of jealousy to its users.
- Emotions are contagious on Facebook.
