Online social networking is ubiquitous, but research regarding its relationship to wellbeing has yielded contradictory results. This study examined the relationship between Facebook use and wellbeing among community mental health service clients. Twenty-six clients from a community mental health service provided access to their Facebook page. Seven aspects of 3674 Facebook posts were coded, and cross-lagged multilevel models were estimated over three periods to establish the relationship between Facebook use and wellbeing over time. Some aspects of Facebook use were related to wellbeing within the same period, although this pattern of relationships did not emerge longitudinally. Although Facebook has the potential to forge social connections for those who are socially isolated, Facebook use was neither helpful nor harmful over time among people with mental health problems. Given the prevalence of social networking, a clearer understanding of its impact on wellbeing is critical for mental health providers.
在线社交网络无处不在，但关于其与幸福感关系的研究结果却相互矛盾。本研究调查了社区心理健康服务客户中使用脸书与幸福感之间的关系。来自某社区心理健康服务机构的26名客户提供了对其脸书页面的访问权限。对3674条脸书帖子的七个方面进行了编码，并在三个时间段内估计了交叉滞后多层次模型，以确定随着时间推移使用脸书与幸福感之间的关系。在同一时期，脸书使用的某些方面与幸福感相关，尽管这种关系模式并未在纵向研究中出现。尽管脸书有可能为那些社交孤立的人建立社交联系，但随着时间的推移，使用脸书对有心理健康问题的人既没有帮助也没有危害。鉴于社交网络的普及，更清楚地了解其对幸福感的影响对心理健康提供者至关重要。
