to determine the level of addiction to Facebook called B.F.A.S. (Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale); the level of control locus was also assessed using the L.O.C. (Locus of Control); and the one of personal selfishness through the Ego Strength Scale.
The results report that young people showed very high levels of addiction to Facebook, reaching 47% of them, which means that almost half of the Facebook users were addicted to this social network.
These data are maintained despite the origin (Malay or non-Malay), the religion they practised (Muslim, Christian, Buddhistâ¦) and even the gender of the participants.
One of the limitations of the study is that the selection of the participants was made among those who habitually used social networks, that is, the results reflect that among the habitual users we can find these high levels of addiction, but it doesnât say anything about those young people who donât use social networks so often.
It should be considered that the study was only carried out with university students, and the results could not be extended to the rest of the population, or even to young people, since they may be influenced by such outstanding variables as the socioeconomic level or the culture of Facebook users, aspects that are not analyzed in this study.
