Abstract
Is Facebook usage bad for mental-health? Existing studies provide mixed results. Utilizing state of the art neuroscience, experience-sampling and behavioral methodologies we explored for whom and when the ability to filter social-network information from accessing working memory is an underlying moderator in the relationship between online social-network usage and anxiety.
