　　Researchers find looking at your OWN profile and pictures online can boost your mood

　　Looking at old photographs of yourself on Facebook can boost your mood - and be as soothing as a walk in the park, a new study found.

　　Researchers found users typically post positive pictures and status updates on the social networking site.

　　And looking back over these snaps and wall posts when upset or depressed reminds us of happier times.

　　Almost 90 percent of users access the site to look at their own wall posts, and three quarters do this when they are &aposfeeling low&apos.

　　Dr Alice Good, from the University of Portsmouth&aposs School of Computing, found this &aposself-soothing&apos use of Facebook is benicial to our mood.

　　The more prone somebody is to depression, the more fective this browsing is, the study found.

　　The findings contradict previous research, which suggested looking at Facebook can be bad for your mental health.

　　Dr Good said: &aposWe were very surprised by these findings, which contradict some recent reports.

　　&aposThe results indicate we could use self-soothing as a form of treatment for low moods.

　　&aposAlthough this was only a small study, we will go on to study larger groups to see if the results remain consistent.&apos

　　Dr Good questioned 144 Facebook users and found they often use the site to reminisce, using old photos and wall posts as a form of comfort.

　　The group had an average age of 34 and had slightly more men than women. Of these, 39 percent had a history of mental health problems.

　　A staggering 86 percent of participants visit Facebook more than once a day, with 75 percent looking at photos and 86 percent wall posts each time.

　　These were the most popular activities, and also those that made them happiest.

　　Psychologist Dr Clare Wilson, also from the University of Portsmouth, said: &apos&aposFacebook is marketed as a means of communicating with others, but this research shows we are more likely to use it to connect with our past selves, perhaps when our present selves need reassuring.&apos&apos

　　最新研究顯示，瀏覽Facebook上的舊照片可以使情緒振奮，就如同在公園散步一樣讓人感到慰藉。

　　研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，用戶在社交網(wǎng)站Facebook上會(huì)發(fā)布積極向上的照片和狀態(tài)更新。

　　當(dāng)人們感到心煩或沮喪的時(shí)候，回顧這些照片和發(fā)言能讓人們想起更快樂(lè)的時(shí)光。

　　近90%的用戶會(huì)登錄Facebook瀏覽自己的發(fā)言，三成用戶在“感到情緒低落”時(shí)這樣做。

　　樸茨茅斯大學(xué)計(jì)算學(xué)院的愛(ài)麗絲-古德博士發(fā)現(xiàn)，使用Facebook所產(chǎn)生的這種“自我慰藉”對(duì)情緒有利。

　　研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，這種瀏覽對(duì)更容易沮喪的人來(lái)說(shuō)效果更好。

　　這項(xiàng)研究結(jié)果與之前的研究相矛盾。此前一項(xiàng)研究標(biāo)明，瀏覽Facebook對(duì)心理健康不利。

　　古德博士說(shuō)：“我們對(duì)研究結(jié)果感到驚訝，這與最近的一些報(bào)道相悖。”

　　“研究結(jié)果標(biāo)明，我們可以使用自我慰藉來(lái)治療情緒低落?！?/p>

　　“盡管這只是一項(xiàng)小小的研究，但我們將繼續(xù)針對(duì)更多群體展開(kāi)研究，驗(yàn)證結(jié)果是否一致?！?/p>

　　古德博士調(diào)查了144位Facebook用戶，發(fā)現(xiàn)他們經(jīng)常使用該網(wǎng)站進(jìn)行回憶，瀏覽舊照片和發(fā)言來(lái)安慰自己。

　　受調(diào)查者平均34歲，男性略多于女性。其中39%的人曾出現(xiàn)心理健康問(wèn)題。

　　高達(dá)86%的受訪者每天不止一次登錄Facebook，其中75%的受訪者每次都瀏覽照片，86%的受訪者每次都瀏覽發(fā)言。

　　這些是最受歡迎的登錄行為，也會(huì)讓用戶最開(kāi)心。

　　樸茨茅斯大學(xué)心理學(xué)博士克萊爾-威爾森說(shuō)：“Facebook作為一種與他人的溝通工具推向市場(chǎng)，但該研究標(biāo)明，也許當(dāng)我們現(xiàn)在的自己需要安慰時(shí)，我們更喜歡使用Facebook與過(guò)去的自己聯(lián)系。”
