Facebook users spend an average of more than 15 hours a month on the social networking site. While there are plenty who caution against such intensive use — and there are a number of studies detailing the harm Facebook could potentially cause — there also are lots of reports extolling the site's virtues. As the social media giant prepares for its upcoming initial public offering, here are some ways Facebook just might be good for you.

Spending time on Facebook can help people relax, slow down their heart rate and decrease stress levels, according to researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Milan. In a study published earlier this year, researchers studied 30 students and found that a natural high was sparked when they were on the social media network that led to the relaxed heart rates and lower levels of stress and tension. In the study, the students were monitored in three situations: looking at panoramic landscapes, performing complicated mathematical equations and using Facebook. While the first situation was the most relaxing to students and the math problems were the most stressful, the time on Facebook uncovered high levels of attractiveness and arousal. The findings support the researchers' hypothesis that Facebook's success, as well as that of other social media networks, correlates to the specific positive mental and physical state users experience.

While many may argue that social media networks only distract employees, research shows the opposite may be true. Research from Keas.com found that a 10-minute Facebook break makes employees happier, healthier and more productive. The study examined workers in three groups: one that was allowed no breaks, one that was allowed to do anything but use the Internet and one that was allowed 10 minutes to use the Internet and Facebook. The Facebook group was found to be 16 percent more productive than the group that was not allowed to use the Internet and nearly 40 percent more productive than the group that was allowed no breaks. "Short and unobtrusive breaks, such as a quick surf on the Internet, enables the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher net total concentration for a day's work, and as a result, increased productivity," said Brent Coker of the department of management and marketing at the University of Melbourne in Australia.

Facebook is also in the business of matchmaking. Research shows that nearly 60 percent of singles will friend someone new on Facebook after meeting them in person. If they like what they see, 25 percent are likely to contact their new love interest via Facebook. Once the courting is over, nearly 40 percent of those social networking adults will update their relationship status on Facebook, with just 24 percent telling their friends first. Facebook use between couples will continue through the dating process, the research shows. Throughout the day, 79 percent of couples said they send partners Facebook messages or chat on the social network. In addition, more than 60 percent would post romantic messages on their significant other's Facebook wall. When the relationship ends, more than half of those surveyed immediately update their status to single, which automatically sends out a notification to their friend list to start the dating cycle over again.

Dịch bài

Người dùng Facebook dành trung bình hơn 15 giờ một tháng trên trang mạng xã hội. Trong khi có rất nhiều người phản đối việc sử dụng quá nhiều như vậy - và có một số nghiên cứu chi tiết về sự tổn hại mà Facebook có thể gây ra - có rất nhiều báo cáo đã làm nổi bật được các lợi ích của trang web này. Vì mạng xã hội khổng lồ này chuẩn bị cho đợt chào bán công khai ban đầu sắp tới, dưới đây là một số lợi ích mà Facebook có thể mang lại cho bạn, Dành thời gian trên Facebook có thể giúp mọi người thư giãn, làm chậm nhịp tim và giảm mức độ căng thẳng. Theo các nhà nghiên cứu từ Viện Công nghệ Massachusetts và Đại học Milan. Trong một nghiên cứu được công bố đầu năm nay, các nhà nghiên cứu đã nghiên cứu 30 sinh viên và thấy rằng một sự thích thủ tự nhiên đã được tạo ra khi họ ở trên mạng truyền thông xã hội dẫn đến nhịp tim thoải mái và mức độ căng thẳng thấp hơn. Trong nghiên cứu, các sinh viên được theo dõi trong ba tình huống: nhìn ngắm toàn cảnh phong cảnh, thực hiện các phương trình toán học phức tạp và sử dụng Facebook. Trong khi tình huống đầu tiên là thư giãn nhất cho sinh viên và các vấn đề toán học là căng thắng nhất, thời gian trên Facebook lại tạo ra mức độ hấp dẫn và sự kích thích cao. Những phát hiện này ủng hộ giả thuyết của các nhà nghiên cứu rằng sự thành công của Facebook, cũng như của các mạng truyền thông xã hội khác, tương quan với trải nghiệm tích cực cụ thể về tâm thần và thể chất của người dùng.

Trong khi nhiều người cho rằng các mạng truyền thông xã hội chỉ làm sao nhãng nhân viên, thì nghiên cứu cho thấy điều ngược lại có thể đúng. Nghiên cứu từ Keas.com phát hiện ra rằng 10 phút nghỉ ngơi trên Facebook khiến cho nhân viên hạnh phúc hơn, khỏe mạnh và hiện quả hơn. Nghiên cứu này khảo sát công nhân trong ba nhóm: một nhóm không được phép nghỉ, một nhóm được phép làm bất cứ điều gì trừ sử dụng Internet và một nhóm được phép sử dụng Internet và

Facebook trong 10 phút. Nhóm sử dụng Facebook được nhận thấy có hiệu suất cao hơn 16% so với nhóm không được phép sử dụng Internet và gần 40% hiện quả hơn nhóm không được phép nghỉ giải lao. "Nghỉ giải lao ngắn và nhẹ nhàng, chẳng hạn như lướt web nhanh trên internet, cho phép tâm trí tự nghỉ ngơi, dẫn đến sự tập trung cao hơn cho công việc trong một ngày, và kết quả là, tăng năng suất”, Brent Coker thuộc khoa quản lý và tiếp thị tại Đại học Melbourne ở Úc cho biết.

Facebook cũng là một lĩnh vực mai mối. Nghiên cứu cho thấy gần 60 % người độc thân sẽ kết bạn với một người mới trên Facebook sau khi gặp họ trực tiếp. Nếu họ thích những gì họ thấy, 25 % có khả năng liên hệ với mối quan tâm tình yêu mới của họ thông qua Facebook. Khi sự tán tỉnh đã kết thúc, gần 40% những người lớn sử dụng mạng xã hội sẽ cập nhật trạng thái mối quan hệ của họ trên Facebook, chỉ với 24% người sử dụng sẽ nói với bạn bè của họ trước tiên. Các nghiên cứu cho thấy việc sử dụng Facebook giữa các cặp vợ chồng sẽ tiếp tục thông qua quá trình hẹn hò. Trong suốt cả ngày, 79% các cặp vợ chồng cho biết họ gửi tin nhắn Facebook cho người bạn đời hoặc trò chuyện trên mạng xã hội. Ngoài ra. hơn 60% sẽ đăng thông điệp lãng mạn trên tường Facebook của người quan trọng của họ. Khi mối quan hệ kết thúc, hơn một nửa số người

được khảo sát ngay lập tức cập nhật trạng thái của họ thành độc thân, tự động gửi thông báo đến danh sách bạn bè của họ để bắt đầu lại chu kỳ hẹn hò.
