Gender differences in Facebook addiction
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2016, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
A large number of people of all ages participate in social networks with different aims. The number of users attending the on-line social networks is increasing daily. University students also spend a lot of time on Online Social Networks (OSN), and this can cause them to become potential addicts. The aim of this paper is twofold: (1) to analyze the relationship between the Facebook dependence and the negative consequences on the students’ university work and (2) to analyze the measurement invariance across gender. The results of the empirical study that used a sample from the Technical University of Civil Engineering in Bucharest show a significant difference between male and female students regarding the Facebook dependence and its negative effects on the work of students.
