Jealous over a Facebook status update? Don’t worry, you’re not alone.
According to a study from the University of Guelph, Canada, the more time you spend on Facebook, the more likely you are to feel jealous.
Amy Muise, leader of the study, said the jealousy is caused by overexposing partners to triggers.
“You check your partner’s Facebook page and you see a post from someone you don’t know that says, `It was great seeing you last night,” Muise said. “Even though it could be something very innocent, it can easily be interpreted another way.”
The problem can become a vicious cycle, Muise said, when the jealousy spurned by “Facebook creeping” leads the “creeper” to search for more information that fuels the jealousy even more.
This study is published in the CyberPsychology and Behaviour journal.



To FB user, please use it with responsibility. I have an addict at home and it is not making things easier. You invest so much in the really thing than lose it to visually unknown. That’s painfully.
this makes total sense. and i have fallen to this before as i'm sure many people in a relationship…
but, that's life.
Well..now that is called a study to look forward too…Hmm..Time to think, Do I also got bitten by this bug of Facebook…
