Facebook is currently the most popular social network.
Research has shown that in people who are jealous of their partners, Facebook use increases jealousy.
The study involved 308 people, most of whom were in a steady relationship. Each study participant used the portal for an average of 40 minutes a day, with women using it significantly longer than men. Participants were asked to indicate their level of je alousy on a scale of one to seven.
It turned out that women who spend more time on Facebook compared to men indicated a higher level of jealousy than the opposite sex. In addition, those who were jealous of their partner showed a tendency to be more controlling of their partner's Facebook activity, which further increases jealousy.
Social networks have many advantages, but it is important to remember to use them sensibly.
