          Abstract

          Resumo Este artigo apresenta os primeiros estudos de validade de uma versão portuguesa da Facebook Addiction Scale (AFS) de Koc e Gulyagci (2013). O estudo foi realizado com uma amostra de conveniência (N=144), através de um questionário disponibilizado online. As análises estatísticas sobre os resultados obtidos sugerem que a escala apresenta excelentes propriedades psicométricas, semelhantes às da escala original: a análise das componentes principais, com rotação varimax, revela a existência de um só factor, capaz de explicar 63,7% da variância total, enquanto a análise da consistência interna é de .91 (Alpha de Cronbach).

          Abstract This paper intends to develop the first validity studies of a Portuguese version of Facebook Addiction Scale (AFS) by Koc and Gulyagci (2013). The study was carried out with a convenience sample (N=144), through a questionnaire made available online. Statistical analyzes of the results suggest that the scale has excellent psychometric properties, similar to those of the original scale. Analysis of the principal components, with varimax rotation, reveals the existence of a single factor, able of explaining 63,7% of the total variance, while the internal consistency analysis is .91 (Cronbach’s alpha).

          The uses and abuses of Facebook: A review of Facebook addiction

          Abstract Background and aims: Recent research suggests that use of social networking sites can be addictive for some individuals. Due to the link between motivations for media use and the development of addiction, this systematic review examines Facebook-related uses and gratifications research and Facebook addiction research. Method: Searches of three large academic databases revealed 24 studies examining the uses and gratifications of Facebook, and nine studies of Facebook addiction. Results: Comparison of uses and gratifications research reveals that the most popular mo- tives for Facebook use are relationship maintenance, passing time, entertainment, and companionship. These motivations may be related to Facebook addiction through use that is habitual, excessive, or motivated by a desire for mood alteration. Examination of Facebook addiction research indicates that Facebook use can become habitual or excessive, and some addicts use the site to escape from negative moods. However, examination of Facebook addic- tion measures highlights inconsistency in the field. Discussion: There is some evidence to support the argument that uses and gratifications of Facebook are linked with Facebook addiction. Furthermore, it appears as if the social skill model of addiction may explain Facebook addiction, but inconsistency in the measurement of this condition limits the ability to provide conclusive arguments. Conclusions: This paper recommends that further research be performed to establish the links between uses and gratifications and Facebook addiction. Furthermore, in order to enhance the construct validity of Facebook addiction, researchers should take a more systematic approach to assessment.

              Time to face it! Facebook intrusion and the implications for romantic jealousy and relationship satisfaction.

              Young people's exposure to social network sites such as Facebook is increasing, along with the potential for such use to complicate romantic relationships. Yet, little is known about the overlaps between the online and offline worlds. We extended previous research by investigating the links between Facebook intrusion, jealousy in romantic relationships, and relationship outcomes in a sample of undergraduates currently in a romantic relationship. A Facebook Intrusion Questionnaire was developed based on key features of technological (behavioral) addictions. An eight-item Facebook Intrusion Questionnaire with a single-factor structure was supported; internal consistency was high. Facebook intrusion was linked to relationship dissatisfaction, via jealous cognitions and surveillance behaviors. The results highlight the possibility of high levels of Facebook intrusion spilling over into romantic relationships, resulting in problems such as jealousy and dissatisfaction. The results have implications for romantic relationships and for Facebook users in general.
