Abstract
The present study examined the mediating role of social safeness on the relationship between Facebook® use and life satisfaction. The participants were 370 university students ( M age = 20.2 yr., SD = 1.0) who completed a questionnaire package that included the Bergen Facebook® Addiction Scale, the Social Safeness and Pleasure Scale, and the Life Satisfaction Scale. According to the results, social safeness and life satisfaction were predicted negatively by Facebook® use. On the other hand, life satisfaction was predicted positively by social safeness. In addition, social safeness mediated on the relationship between Facebook® use and life satisfaction. The results were discussed in the light of the related literature.
