It appears to be common sense these days, when looking at everyone on their devices, to conclude social media is addictive.
In a recent study, PLoS One 2017 Dec 14., researchers determined that greater attention to Facebook is associated with depression, anxiety, narcissism, and stress in university students.
The researchers found that the incidence of Facebook addiction, as well as these other symptoms, increased in a group of Facebook users by a factor of 15 to about 1 in 10 "addicted". And these users had more psychological symptoms above.
We should all limit our use of devices and social media. This trend is not good for anyone.
