Wait a minute... Facebook is good for wellbeing?
A new study by the Oxford Institute of Technology suggests the opposite of what we typically hear – researchers say that after analyzing data from nearly a million people across 72 countries over 12 years that the claims are more speculative than conclusive.
This isn't saying that harm doesn't exist... but on balance, the use of Facebook is "possibly related to positive wellbeing."
The results showed the association between using Facebook and wellbeing was slightly more positive for males as well as for younger people.
The study looked at high-quality country-wide well-being data, and compared that with Facebook data with the uptake of their platform.
