dc.description.abstractThe current study examined the relationship between Facebook addiction, narcissism, self-esteem, and perfectionism in Lebanese adults. The sample consisted of 138 participants who answered a survey that consisted of the following scales: a Facebook-Use Survey, The Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale, The Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI-40), The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and The Perfectionism Inventory. Results of the study showed a nonexistent relationship between narcissism and Facebook addiction; however among female participants there existed a significant positive correlation between narcissism and Facebook addiction. This positive relation goes in line with previous reviews, and it is possible that the gender difference is due to the larger amount of female participants than male participants. Results also showed a negative correlation between self-esteem and Facebook addiction, which was slightly stronger among the male participants. This also goes in line with previous studies. Finally, results showed no significant relationship between perfectionism as a whole and Facebook addiction, but there was a negative correlation between conscientious perfectionism and Facebook addiction. Perfectionism and Facebook addiction is a relatively new field; therefore, more extensive research is needed to understand the relation between both variables.
