According to research by the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Bergen in collaboration with the Bergen Clinics Foundation , a scale was created where six signs were identified that identify addiction to social networks, specifically Facebook.

  2. Feeling a need to use the social network at all times
  3. Use the social network to forget about personal or work problems
  4. Failure in the attempt to reduce the use of the social network
  5. Feeling restless and anxious to use the social network , especially when it is prohibited
