# The More You Use Facebook, the Worse You Feel - Host: [hbr.org](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/hosts/hbr.org/) - Saved: April 12, 2017 (2017-04-13T01:04:22Z) - Record: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/e1792dbd01a2/ - JSON: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/e1792dbd01a2.json ## What Jamie wrote Overall, our results showed that, while real-world social networks were positively associated with overall well-being, the use of Facebook was negatively associated with overall well-being. These results were particularly strong for mental health; most measures of Facebook use in one year predicted a decrease in mental health in a later year. We found consistently that both liking others’ content and clicking links significantly predicted a subsequent reduction in self-reported physical health, mental health, and life satisfaction. ## Facts - Kind: [Page](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/kinds/page/) ## Same host - [The 5 Biases Pushing Women Out of STEM](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/97a2c07b8cc1/) (hbr.org, May 12, 2017) - [4 Things That Set Successful CEOs Apart](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/10dab41d8d6f/) (hbr.org, August 7, 2017) - [Why Management Needs Philosophers](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/ba0dd796cbe9/) (hbr.org, September 14, 2017) - [How We Reorganized Instagram’s Engineering Team While Quadrupling Its Size](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/0fcbdf922a15/) (hbr.org, December 2, 2017) - [If You Aspire to Be a Great Leader, Be Present](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/0561fb03699d/) (hbr.org, December 17, 2017) ## Saved the same week - [The Culture Map](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/c49b6dffac36/) (erinmeyer.com, April 11, 2017) - [Slicing and Dicing with the Pomodoro Technique](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/3234d7b1976b/) (myproductivemac.com, April 12, 2017) - [Why Slack is inappropriate for open source communications](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/b63a8bd113a1/) (dave.cheney.net, April 12, 2017) - [How to customize your AirPods on iOS](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/870fde1c6f36/) (thesweetsetup.com, April 14, 2017) - [Five Ways to Use Day One as a Travel Journal](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/1d1821d7f628/) (dayoneapp.com, April 14, 2017) ## Elsewhere - Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://hbr.org/2017/04/a-new-more-rigorous-study-confirms-the-more-you-use-facebook-the-worse-you-feel
