People who use Facebook may feel more connected, but less happy.
使用臉書的人會覺得和社會有較多連結性，但卻不太快樂。
A study of young adults released Wednesday concluded that the more people used Facebook, the worse they subsequently felt.
這個針對年輕成年人的研究在星期三公佈，指出人們使用臉書越久，之後感覺更糟。
"On the surface, Facebook provides an invaluable resource for fulfilling the basic human need for social connection," said University of Michigan social psychologist Ethan Kross, lead author of the study.
「表面上看來，臉書提供寶貴的資源滿足人們對社會連結的基本需求」，密西根大學社會心理學家、該研究主要撰寫人伊森．克洛斯說。
"But rather than enhance well-being, we found that Facebook use predicts the opposite result -- it undermines it."
「但不是提高幸福感，我們發現使用臉書預示出相反的結果—它損害了它（幸福感）。」
The researchers recruited 82 young adults who had smartphones and Facebook accounts and assessed their subjective well-being by texting them at random times five times a day for two weeks.
研究人員召募82位擁有智慧型手機和臉書帳號的年輕成年人，利用長達2週在1天內隨機傳5次簡訊的方式，評估他們的幸福感。
The researchers said the study, published in the scientific journal PLOS, was believed to be the first measuring Facebook’s impact on happiness and life satisfaction.
研究人員表示，這個發布在科學期刊「公共科學圖書館—綜合」的研究，被認為是第1個測量臉書對幸福感和生活滿足感的影響。
"This is a result of critical importance because it goes to the very heart of the influence that social networks may have on people’s lives," said University of Michigan cognitive neuroscientist John Jonides, another author of the paper.（AFP）
「這是個至關重要的結果，因為它直指社群網路對人類生活可能造成的影響」，密西根大學認知神經科學家、該研究另一位作者約翰．喬尼斯說。（法新社）
