Letter to the Editor: Facebook isn't all sadness
Below is an excerpt of another letter to the editor. It was written in response to Mary Alice Cookson's column, "Does Facebook cause unhappiness?" We can all guess that my answer was largely no, but for more details, see below.
"Here’s a bit of news you’ll either “like” or not depending on your point of view: A recent study links Facebook use to unhappiness.
The study by researchers at the University of Michigan surveyed 82 young adults over a two-week period, sending them text messages five times a day asking how they were feeling and how much time they’d spent on Facebook since the previous text. And guess what? The researchers correlated increased time spent on Facebook to a drop in mood."
