As the world’s largest social networking site, Facebook has reached 1.59 billion
monthly active users around the globe as of December 2015. People access Facebook
because they want to connect with their friends and family.https://www.facebook.com/biba.rajpout.7 People want to find happiness
on Facebook, but do they? The purpose of this research is to measure how Facebook
users’ emotions change after looking at Facebook, and the role played by different types
of Facebook posts and its social comparison. The research was conducted online using
128 college students ranging from the ages of 16 to 41. Since Facebook users were
exposed to many events throughout the day, researchers believed that there were mainly
four types of events that people share on Facebook: Lifetime Events, Special Events,
Routine Events and Neutral Events. Participants were randomly assigned to view a
Facebook “news feed” full of one of the Lifetime Events, Special Events and Routine
Events combined with some Neutral Events. https://www.facebook.com/biba.rajpout.7
