Facebook is notably the most widely known and used social network worldwide. It has been described as a valuable tool for leisure and communication between people all over the world. However, healthy and conscience Facebook use is contrasted by excessive use and lack of control, creating an addiction with severely impacts the everyday life of many users, mainly youths. If Facebook use seems to be related to the need to belong, affiliate with others and for self-presentation, the beginning of excessive Facebook use and addiction could be associated to reward and gratification mechanisms as well as some personality traits. Studies from several countries indicate different Facebook addiction prevalence rates, mainly due to the use of a wide-range of evaluation instruments and to the lack of a clear and valid definition of this construct. Further investigations are needed to establish if excessive Facebook use can be considered as a specific online addiction disorder or an Internet addiction subtype.
值得注意的是，脸书是全球最广为人知且使用的社交网络。它被描述为世界各地人们用于休闲和交流的宝贵工具。然而，健康且有意识地使用脸书与过度使用和缺乏控制形成对比，过度使用会导致成瘾，严重影响许多用户，主要是年轻人的日常生活。如果脸书的使用似乎与归属感、与他人建立联系以及自我展示的需求有关，那么过度使用脸书和成瘾的开端可能与奖励和满足机制以及一些人格特质有关。来自几个国家的研究表明脸书成瘾的患病率各不相同，这主要是由于使用了广泛的评估工具以及缺乏对这一概念清晰有效的定义。需要进一步调查以确定过度使用脸书是否可被视为一种特定的网络成瘾障碍或互联网成瘾亚型。
