The purpose of this study is to examine how Facebook behavior, specifically self-disclosure via updating one's status, as well as age, need to belong, and perceived social support contribute to subjective well-being. This is important to the field of counseling psychology as one aim is to assist clients in improving their well-being, which can be impacted by positive relations with others. If online social networking sites such as Facebook can assist in bettering relationships by removing constraints, this is a potential tool that counseling psychologists can use in their assessment and practice. A sample of 653 participants were accessed via an online subject pool system and email listserv at a large university in the Midwest as well as through a snowball sampling method on the researcher's own Facebook. Participants were asked to complete demographic information, Facebook Intensity Scale (FBI), Modified Erikson Psychosocial Stage Inventory (MEPSI) Intimacy Subscale, General Belongingness Scale (GBS), Adapted Interpersonal Support Evaluations List (A-ISEL), and Ryff's Scales of Psychological Well-being (RPWB). Data were analyzed using ANOVA and multiple regression techniques. Significant differences were found between age groups and self-disclosing behavior, with 25-34 year olds reporting to self-disclose the most. However, this age group also scored the least in perceived social support, while their 55+ group counterparts reported the most. A multiple regression analysis was conducted, showing that all but perceived social support significantly contributed to the model and accounted for 55% of the variance in well-being. Facebook use had a significant negative contribution to the model, indicating that the less engaged one is on Facebook, the better one's overall well-being. While this information may at first appear contradictory, these results suggest the potential benefits of having an online support system, while also acknowledging that too much time spent online can be unhealthy. Limitations of the study and directions for future research are discussed.
