What Facebook Really Wants - An Observational Study in Romanian Students

In the present time Facebook is most interactive and used for communication. In your account you can write what you thinking and you feel or what to do..... Moreover, last presidential elections in our country had looks that communication is more easy and useful on Facebook. Today we can talk about Facebook Addiction in the same terms likes Internet Addiction? The present study was designed to provide a richer and better contextual understanding of the development of Facebook Addiction among Romanian adolescents: why they used, how much of time, how interfere with social and academic life, why they want to show all about intimate life... Material and method: the study group comprised 436 students that answered a questionnaire with 33 items concerning Facebook based activities. The results show that all student use Facebook, they had have account and post comments for more items and pictures with family. Findings provide important evidence on normative developmental and contextual forces mediating increased online engagement and Facebook use. The findings also illustrate the multiple outcomes of Internet engagement, of which not all are maladaptive in nature. Our findings contribute to the understanding of the processes leading to maladaptive online behaviours in students and point to the need to assess motives and behaviours perpetuating online engagement so as to fully assess the adaptive or maladaptive nature of today's student's online engagement.
