Are people happier when they do not use Facebook?

The Danish Institute for happiness research conducted a poll which showed people are happier if they do not use Facebook", said the head of the institute, Meik Viking.

- We picked up Facebook since it is the most used one- Viking said and added that survey participants were split in two groups, the ones using Facebook and the ones who will not use it for a week.

Almost 90% of participants who were resting from the social network, said they feel happy while there were 81% of happy ones in the second group which continued using widely-used social network and said it has the same difficulties sin concentration and worse social life.

The ones who have not been on Facebook, stated they enjoy real life more and that they can focus on word and other everyday activities better.

- Instead of focusing on what we really need, we are often inclined to concentrate on what others have– the study shows.

According to the surveys , it is believed that the Danish are one of the happiest people in the world.
