Abstract

Excessive usage of Facebook is a form of behavioral addiction. Unlimited and aimless usage of Facebook has some negative effects on the personal and social life of users. People who are engaged for many hours in Facebook have a tendency to keep away from their civilization and they withdraw from face to face interactions, and also from society. The present study examined the relation between Facebook addiction and resilience among college students. The convenient sample of 130 college students were selected for the study from Southern India. Measures used for the study were borrowed from Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale (Bergen, 2012) and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (Connor & Davidson, 2003). The results show there is a significant negative correlation between Facebook addiction and resilience among college students.
