Facebook Use Predicts Decreases In Life Satisfaction

First of all , In this article they are researching about Facebook decreasing your happiness of your life and make you feel lonely . In other words, the more you use the pervasive social media tool, the more your life satisfaction drops. Look from the outside Facebook might be the thing that fulfill us when we are having an depression or any problem because it has all human needs for social connection ,but actually it makes us feel miserable , sad or lonely  because like When you're on a site like Facebook, you get lots of posts about what people are doing. That sets up social comparison  you maybe feel your life is not as full and rich as those people you see on Facebook.

The main point 

• " Rather than enhance well-being, we found that Facebook use predicts the opposite result -- it undermines it.". It shows that what most of people that think Facebook gives us happiness are wrong. 


• As long as you using Facebook as much as it decrease your well-being. 


• This article is not only about Facebook but about all of the social medias 

Advantage

• They also proved their researching by taking 82 young adults who used Facebook and had smartphones. Researchers gauged their well-being by texting the study participants five times a day for two weeks. The texts had links to online survey questions including: "How do you feel right now?", "How lonely do you feel right now?", "How much have you used Facebook since the last time we talked?", and "How much have you interacted with other people 'directly' since the last time we talked?" Which shows that Facebook really makes  them feel lonely sad or in negative way.

Disadvantage

• This article is about telling us that Facebook is giving us depression ,but for some people for sometime its even make them feel even better to play Facebook , like expresses their feeling on Facebook's wall chatting with friend that live in the place that much far away.Facebook can give us happiness too .The researchers have proved that's right but its just a little number of people compare to people that plays Facebook .

Question?

1:If people knows that Facebook depresses them why don't they just stop using it ?

2:How do they ensure that Facebook  really decrease people sanctification by testing only 82 people in only adult age ?
