 Research has found that people who use social media platforms like Facebook are more likely to receive positive feedback and have stronger connections with others. The study analyzed data from over 30,000 people and found that those who used Facebook regularly had higher levels of self-esteem and were more likely to engage in online activities. Additionally, the research revealed that certain regions of the brain associated with reward, money, sex, and reputation were more active when individuals received positive feedback on their posts. This suggests that social media can have a profound impact on our mental health and well-being.
