The Impact of Facebook on Social Comparison and Happiness: Evidence from a Natural ExperimentAyala AradOhad Barzilay Maayan PerchickColler School of M The impacts on facebook to happiness Management Tel Aviv UniversityAbstractThe ubiquity of Facebook in modern life compels US to study its effects on well-being. We study a unique sample of users and non-users in a security-related organization, where Facebook usage was manipulated by an organizational policy change, initially banning The impacts on facebook to happiness Facebook altogether and later differentially restricting its usage. Thus, the assignment of the employees to the group of non-users was circumstantialThe impacts on facebook to happiness
rather than due to a-priori personal characteristics, which makes it possible to identify Facebook’s impact on social comparison and happiness. We fiThe Impact of Facebook on Social Comparison and Happiness: Evidence from a Natural ExperimentAyala AradOhad Barzilay Maayan PerchickColler School of M The impacts on facebook to happiness ect of Facebook on happiness, but only for the younger half of our sample and only for those who believe that others have many more positive experiences than they do. Surprisingly, we find that Facebook does not cause users to overestimate the frequency of their friends' positive experiences.

It has become an integral part of Its users' everyday lives. Drawing on the literature regarding the effect of information and communication technologies (ICT) on social welfare and subjective well-being (Ganju et al.. 2016: Greenstein and McDevitt. 2011) and given the prominence of Facebook, The impacts on facebook to happiness we study whether using Facebook affect happiness. While many snidies have looked into the personality traits driving differential Facebook usage (seeThe impacts on facebook to happiness
Nadkarni and Hofmann (2011) for a review), the effect of Facebook on the well-being of Its users IS little understood (Appel et al.. 2016). This issuThe Impact of Facebook on Social Comparison and Happiness: Evidence from a Natural ExperimentAyala AradOhad Barzilay Maayan PerchickColler School of M The impacts on facebook to happiness 05).Alongside the many benefits of Facebook usage, such as maintaining social connections (and possibly even reducing mortality rates (Hobbs et al.. 2016)). Facebook may also have the potentially negative effect of encouraging social comparison. Because Facebook users tend to post mostly positive ex The impacts on facebook to happiness periences and underreport negative ones (Zhao et al.. 2008; Mehdizadeh. 2010). we hypothesize that Facebook-driven comparisons with others may be undeThe impacts on facebook to happiness

This is in line with existing literature suggesting that upward social comparison (off-platform) decreases happiness (ArgyleThe Impact of Facebook on Social Comparison and Happiness: Evidence from a Natural ExperimentAyala AradOhad Barzilay Maayan PerchickColler School of M The impacts on facebook to happiness ficult to devise a proper control group of non-users because the unique individuals who choose not to use Facebook are likely to have personalities that differ from those of the Facebook users (Nadkarm and Hofmann, 2011: Ljepava et al.. 2013). A Similar selection problem exists in studies that compa The impacts on facebook to happiness re the subjective well-being of users With different types or intensities of usage (Chou and Edge. 2012: Tandoc et al.. 2015).

Some studies use path analysis (Baron and Kenny. 1986) to explore the mediating effect of The impacts on facebook to happiness envy, rumination and social comparison on depression (Tandoc et al., 2015; Feinstein et al.. 2013) or on life satisfaction (Krasnova et al.. 2013; LocThe impacts on facebook to happiness

However, this approach does not eliminate the possibility of underlying endogeneity (for a discussion of this issue, see Appel eThe Impact of Facebook on Social Comparison and Happiness: Evidence from a Natural ExperimentAyala AradOhad Barzilay Maayan PerchickColler School of M The impacts on facebook to happiness sample of users and non-users for whom not using Facebook is a circumstantial outcome rather than a result of a personal choice. All the participants are employees of a security-related organization in which the use of Facebook was at first entirely forbidden (during the period 2008-2012). and then The impacts on facebook to happiness differentially restricted. The restrictions, however, became contingent on the projects in which the employee is involved (rather than their function)The impacts on facebook to happiness

Thus, this policy change selves as a pseudo-natural The Impact of Facebook on Social Comparison and Happiness: Evidence from a Natural ExperimentAyala AradOhad Barzilay Maayan PerchickColler School of M The impacts on facebook to happiness nitude (see Section 3.1).The almost exogenous assignment to each of the two groups - users and non-users - makes It possible to more cleanly measure the impact of Facebook on the above-mentioned constructs, without having to be concerned that initial differences in these constructs led to the choice The impacts on facebook to happiness of whether or not to be a Facebook user. Furthermore, the unique research setting provides an additional benefit in that it allows US to account forThe impacts on facebook to happiness
the cumulative effect of Facebook usage ’in the wild’, in contrast to lab experiments and short-lived field studies (Kross et al.. 2013; Verduyn et alThe Impact of Facebook on Social Comparison and Happiness: Evidence from a Natural ExperimentAyala AradOhad Barzilay Maayan PerchickColler School of M The impacts on facebook to happiness social networksInformation and communication technologies transcend boundaries from the workplace into the home and society in large (Brown. 2008; Walther 1996).

As information and communication technologies become pervasive inThe impacts on facebook to happiness

Online social networks are essentially a virtualization of the offline social processes (Overby et al.. 2010). Over the years, the use of social networks has broad The impacts on facebook to happiness ened, and users report using online social networks also for relaxation, entertainment, and socializing (Ku et al.. 2013 and Park et al., 2009).

Since social capital and subjective wellbeing are strongly associated (e.g. Bjornsk The impacts on facebook to happiness ov. 2003; Helliwell, 2001; Leung et al.. 2013). it is reasonable to assume that online social networks increase one's social capital and. in turn, havThe impacts on facebook to happiness
