No surprise—those Facebook photos of your friends and relatives on vacation or celebrating a birthday party can make you feel lousy.
In our everyday life, Facebook, for quite a long time, is supposed to envelope us in the warm embrace of our social network, and scanning friends’ pages is supposed to make us feel loved, supported and important (at least in the lives of those we like and concern). But skimming through photos of friends’ life successes can trigger feelings of envy, misery and loneliness as well, according to researchers from two German universities. The scientists studied 600 people who logged time on the social network and discovered that one in three felt even worse after visiting the site and acquiring others’ sweet moments—especially if they viewed friends’ vacation photos. Facebook frequenters who spent time on the site without posting anything of their own content were also more likely to feel dissatisfied and depressed.
"We were surprised by how many people on earth ever have a negative experience from Facebook with envy, inferiority or even hatred leaving them feeling lonely, frustrated or angry," study author Hanna Krasnova from the Institute of Information Systems at Berlin’s Humboldt University told Reuters. "From our observations some of these people will then log out Facebook or at least reduce their use of the site."
The most common and representative cause of Facebook frustration came from network users comparing themselves socially to their peers, while the second most common source of their dissatisfaction was "lack of attention" from having fewer comments, likes and general feedback compared to friends unconsciously.
The study authors note that both men and women feel pressure to portray themselves in the best light to their Facebook friends, but men are more likely to post more self-promotional content in their "About Me" and "Notes" sections than women, although women are more likely to stress their physical attractiveness as well as sociability.
The authors write: Overall, however, shared content does not have to be "explicitly boastful" for envy feelings to emerge. As a matter of fact, a lonely user might envy numerous birthday wishes his more sociable peer receives on his FB (Facebook) Wall. Equally, a friend’s change in the relationship status from "single" to "in a relationship" might even cause emotional havoc for someone undergoing a painful breakup.
So far, it seems that the positive effects of being socially connected supersede the negative consequences of feeling inferior or left out by your circle of friends. But the authors suggest that if the hurtful feelings continue to grow, Facebook and other social media may no longer be a fun way to stay connected with friends, but could become just another source of stress and depress for people.
Why does the author believe that people benefit from Facebook?
选项
A、Facebook provides people with entertainment beyond work and study.
B、Facebook enables people to be proficient in computer and network.
C、Facebook makes people link with friends and feel important and in focus.
D、Facebook provides observations and data for people to make study.
答案
C
解析
细节推断题。选项C出现在文章的第二段。段首讲到“Facebook让我们与我们的社交圈子保持密切联系,浏览朋友的页面会让我们感到被关注、获得支持、有存在感。”由此可以判断C项内容与原文一致,仅表达形式不同,故为正确答案。
