\"\"Las im\u00e1genes de personas en una fiesta o disfrutando de un viaje pueden producir sentimientos de tristeza o de envidia en los usuarios que las observan, seg\u00fan un estudio<\/p>\n

Una investigaci\u00f3n realizada por la Universidad de Utah, Estados Unidos, revel\u00f3 que los usuarios que pasan demasiadas horas en la red social pueden sentirse infelices al ver las fotos que comparten sus contactos.<\/p>\n

Para el estudio, se les pregunt\u00f3 a 425 estudiantes si estaban de acuerdo o en desacuerdo con frases del estilo \u00abmis amigos tienen una mejor vida que yo\u00bb o \u00abla vida es injusta\u00bb, despu\u00e9s de ver im\u00e1genes de usuarios sonriendo, festejando en una disco o paseando por distintas partes del mundo.<\/p>\n

El 95 por ciento de los usuarios menores de 23 a\u00f1os afirm\u00f3, a partir de dichas preguntas, que se sent\u00eda triste al ver que sus amigos eran m\u00e1s felices que ellos mismos. Los investigadores tambi\u00e9n sostienen que cuanto m\u00e1s tiempo navegan en Facebook, m\u00e1s piensan en los otros y m\u00e1s se deprimen.<\/p>\n

\u00abHace varios a\u00f1os empec\u00e9 a utilizar Facebook porque varias personas me lo pidieron, y empec\u00e9 a ver que varios de mis amigos se ve\u00edan realmente felices. Eso me despert\u00f3 curiosidad\u00bb, explica la soci\u00f3loga Hui-Tzu Grace Chou, que asegura que realiz\u00f3 el estudio basada en esa experiencia personal.<\/p>\n

Seg\u00fan la investigaci\u00f3n, el mal humor prevalece entre los usuarios m\u00e1s activos, mientras que los que pasan menos tiempo en esta red social se entristecen menos. El grupo de la Universidad de Utah concluy\u00f3 que la soluci\u00f3n para mejorar el estado de \u00e1nimo es dejar lo virtual y tener m\u00e1s interacci\u00f3n f\u00edsica con los verdaderos amigos.<\/p>\n

*Nota de voanews.com
\nOn one of the most popular social networking sites Facebook, people tend to present themselves in a favorable way on their profile. Survey concludes some question if others are happier, have better lives.
\nResearch over the past several years shows that heavy users of social media tend to be less happy than non-users. But a new academic study now suggests that social media tools like Facebook can also affect how we perceive the happiness of others. <\/p>\n

Students at George Mason University in Virginia were asked how many friends they have on Facebook. \u201cUm, I\u2019ve never actually stopped and looked at it. Probably somewhere between 350 and 400,\u201d responded one student. Another stated, \u201cI would definitely be on Facebook all the time and be like \u2018Wow, she\u2019s here, he\u2019s there\u2019.\u201d Finally, a student noted, \u201cI\u2019m a heavy user. I rely a lot on it. I find myself checking it multiple times a day.\u00bbResearchers at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah wanted to see if all that time watching people on Facebook affected how users saw – not themselves – but others. <\/p>\n

They asked 425 undergraduates if other people have better and happier lives. Then they surveyed those students on their use of Facebook – looking at how long they had been Facebook users or how many hours a week they spend following Facebook friends.<\/p>\n

They found the students who were more involved with Facebook were more likely to think other people\u2019s lives were happier and better. This was especially true among students who included more strangers on their Facebook accounts. <\/p>\n

Psychologist Tod Kashdan studies happiness and well-being at George Mason University and has read the Utah findings. \u201cThey\u2019re hearing all these great things happening from other people and they\u2019re making a downward comparison to themselves. They\u2019re viewing themselves as \u2018My life isn\u2019t as interesting or satisfying as other people\u2019s lives look like\u2019,\u201d he explained. The authors of the Utah study say the results may be due to a psychological effect called \u201ccorrespondence bias\u201d.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when we make judgments about someone based on their disposition or personality while ignoring their actual life circumstances. <\/p>\n

In the case of Facebook use, it\u2019s easy to assume Facebook friends are always as happy as they appear on their profiles because they are not posting negative attributes or events, only positive ones. <\/p>\n

These students say they had similar feelings about what they saw on Facebook during high-school but that, in college, they are more aware of the effect it has on them. <\/p>\n

\u201cI give people the impression that my life is perfect and there\u2019s nothing wrong with it when there is so much [wrong], so it\u2019s really false,\u00bb Nicolle May stated. \u00abIt\u2019s like someone else completely with my face.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m aware that whatever people posted on Facebook isn\u2019t necessarily what their entire life is made of. I feel like people put a fake picture of themselves and try to make themselves look a lot better than they actually are in real life when they’re on-line,\u201d Maram Mohamed said.<\/p>\n

Psychologists say Facebook and other social media can be valuable tools to connect with people and the world. But that assurance does come with a warning. \u201cDon\u2019t spend a lot of time just looking at other people\u2019s positive events. Share your own and see who are your true friends, who really cares for the things that happen to you,\u201d Kashdan stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
