The Facebook Experiment
The Happiness Research Institute, 2015
Does does the use of social media affect the quality of our lives?
When we evaluate our lives, we are influence by social comparisons. How am I doing compared to my peers? Since social media is a constant flow of great news for other people, we wanted to conduct an experiment where a randomised trial group did not log on to Facebook for one week. This report presents the results of the experiment.
