What are the health risks of having a different Facebook self

New Rochelle, NY, August 17, 2016–People may express their true self more easily on Facebook than in person, and the more one’s “Facebook self” differs from their true self, the greater their stress level and the less socially connected they tend to be, according to a new study published in Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The article is available free on the Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking website.

In “The Psychological Benefits of Being Authentic on Facebook,” Rachel Grieve and Jarrah Watkinson, University of Tasmania (Hobart, Australia), describe the main goal of their study: to evaluate the psychosocial outcomes related to presenting one’s true self on Facebook. The authors assessed Facebook users’ true and online personalities, degree of social connectedness, and feelings of psychological wellbeing, depression, anxiety, and stress.

“The current world population is 7.4 billion, and as of the second quarter of 2016, active Facebook users totaled 1.7 billion. As such, we must consider how Facebook may serve as a tool to positively impact our patients’ lives,” says Editor-in-Chief Brenda K. Wiederhold, PhD, MBA, BCB, BCN, Interactive Media Institute, San Diego, California and Virtual Reality Medical Institute, Brussels, Belgium.
