SAN FRANCISCO - Facebook users was allegedly suffering from stress and nervous disorders because they feel depressed should update the status to please friends network.
Launched by the Telegraph on Friday (02/18/2011), a group of scientists from Edinburgh Napier University have created an online survey to study the response of the approximately 175 students about their Facebook accounts. About three-quarters of respondents were female.
"In the study we found that the more friends that belongs on Facebook, the more often they spend time on sites that, the more they will experience stress," said Dr. Kathy Charles.
According to Dr. Kathy, have an account up with a lot of friends like having your own news channel contains all the things about ourselves. The more friends who owned the more it will feel a lot of people who pay attention to ourselves.
"You'll feel like a minor celebrity and the more 'fans' will make you increasingly feel the need to create something that aims to demonstrate the existence of you," said Dr. Kathy.
Of the many respondents, about 12 percent thought up to make them feel anxious. The average respondent has approximately 117 friends, the rest is only approximately 75-of friends. In fact, approximately 63 percent of respondents claimed to let potential friends a long wait before finally to approve friend requests.
However these findings reap another opinion from a psychologist. According to Eleanor cyberpsychology Barlow from IBM, said that the claim is interesting but can not be applied to all users of Facebook, which has a large population.
"Students often use Facebook in a different way than most other users. They have more to explore self-identity at this age, including the online world," says Barlow.
