Facebook is a social networking site that has been growing exponentially ever since it was popular among college students at the very beginning. So what is the psychology of facebook? First of all, what makes facebook so popular is how it psychologically effects its users:
Curiosity: Yes, facebook most definitely evokes curiosity! It is even worse when status updates, photos and so on are added on the news feed that allows you to see what your friends are up to.
Accomplishment: Yes, you get a sense of accomplishment when it comes to Facebook. As you add in more and more friends, you could see that there would be some sort of sense of accomplishment from doing so.
Facebook is highly addictive and definitely changes the social structure of interactions between people.
