Addiction to Facebook is having many bad effects on our Life . Day by day people are becoming more and more dependent on this light blue social communication.
The study was published in the Journal of Behavior Addictions, according to IANN. 71 people took part in the study. This is an attempt to understand how much they depend on Facebook, which is a lot like addiction. Which has been said to be as dangerous as drugs.
Participants were given a ‘Loa Gambling Task’ test. Psychologists often test this to judge a person’s ability to make decisions. To be successful in this test one has to choose the best pile considering the type of surface of the pile of cards.
Studies have shown that the more participants pick bad cards, the more they use social media. Those who have done well in exams use social media less.
The gambling task noted that other drug abusers, including opium, cocaine and methamphetamine, were also seen to make decisions like those addicted to social media.
The lead author of the study, Dar Messi, an assistant professor at Michigan State University in the United States, said that about one-third of the world’s people use social media and some people overuse it. But it also has its downsides when the customer can’t get out of it.
