If you leave Facebook you'll be happier!
Getting to the thing in its good side and its bad side may be the key to reaching happiness. The form is what happens with us on Facebook, a service you can communicate with your loved ones, but at the same time you will lose your time in a spiral of publications and news.
A new study by scientists at Stanford University and New York University shows that if we stay away from Facebook, we will be happier. To reach this conclusion they evaluated the behavior of a group of 2,488 people.
Thousands of people selected for this study spent an average of one hour a day on Facebook. Divide the participants 2.488 into two groups: the first they disabled their accounts for a month, and the second continued to use Facebook social network.
This month, researchers monitored the status of these participants through a series of online surveys, SMS and analysis of their activity on Facebook, as well as the activity of those who decided to exit Facebook.
In those reports, participants had to say how they felt at that moment: their level of happiness, their sense of loneliness, and what emotions prevailed in the last ten minutes. Scientists were discovering that those who moved away from Facebook were happier.
They found that the group that canceled their personal activity on Facebook spent less time on other social networks and spent more time on other non-Internet activities, such as spending time with friends and family or watching TV.
In this way, participants who deactivated their Facebook account were less likely to be exposed to news. In addition, once they reactivated their accounts, they began to spend less time in this social network, and leaving the platform seemed to make them rethink their use.
