Science claims Snapchat makes us happier than Facebook
Researcher Joseph Bayer and his team recruited 154 college students with smartphones and used “experience sampling” to assess their wellbeing by texting them at random times six times a day for two weeks. They were linked to a survey, which contained five questions:
- How negative or positive do you feel right now?
- How did your most recent interaction occur?
- How pleasant or unpleasant was your most recent interaction?
- Within that interaction, how supportive or unsupportive was that person to you?
- How close are you to that person?
