The rapid development of electronic technology has enabled more and more people to use social networking sites, and for many users, they have a persistent curiosity about social networking sites, and stare big eyes into the world of the Internet. But it turns out that this "social addiction" behavior can actually manifest itself in the brain: A new study finds that the compulsive behavior of the brain forcing people to log on to social networking sites is actually very similar to drug addiction.

However, this is just similar, not exactly the same: these people with social addiction, their brains of the pulse system activity more active, but the brain area can be very good to suppress their impulsive behavior, which is different from the brains of drug addicts. Ofir Truer, a psychologist at California State University, explained to us: "These social networks are addicted to people who have the ability to control their behavior, but they don't think they have the motivation to control it, and so indulge themselves, but they don't know that the consequences are serious." ”

Some studies have shown that these social networking sites have had a profound impact on people. Many people have a feeling of being squeezed out when they see a photo of a friend's party or a hearty meal on a social networking site, or something like "fear of losing". Truer and his colleagues surveyed 20 undergraduates to find out how social-network addiction affected the human brain, judging the addiction of social-networking users, including feelings of withdrawal, anxiety, and resistance. Later, researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to look at the brains of the participants and see how they reflected when they saw a series of computer icons, including icons for social networking sites and some common traffic signs. At the same time the student union to the icon to make the button to reflect, the evaluator to the speed of the button to score.

Truer said that in the study of Social Addiction survey, the higher the scores of people, most of the social networking site is the icon when the button faster than the other icons faster. In essence, the social-networking icons are much stronger in their brains than they are when they see ordinary traffic icons. He explains: "That is, when you walk on the road and have a social network connection with people near the street, your response and reaction speed is much faster than when you hear your phone ringing or you see a signpost." This is the power of social networking sites. ”

Cecily Andreasen, a psychologist at the University of Bergen in Norway, tells us that there are many reasons to indulge in social networking, including physical, psychological, social and cultural factors, but the most important of these four points: a trigger point, such as loneliness, boredom, or stress; an action, such as logging into a social networking site. ; Unpredictable variables or surprises, such as rolling colorful lace little news; an investment that includes the release of pictures or status updates for people you like.

In fact, it's not impossible to break the trap of being deeply attracted to social networks, just to break the link with these social networking sites anytime, for example, by using a website blocker, or by setting up an Internet router to be timed and automatically shut down at night. Social network is not the whole of our lives, we need to be with the family and friends around the heart and heart of communication. (New discoveries of science and Technology, Constantine/Wen)
