People who feel stressed by social networks should obviously use them less or not at all. However, a study has found that instead of doing this, some people just go and use some other feature of the social network.

The study, carried out by scientists from the universities of Bamberg and Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany and Lancaster in Britain, examined the habits of 444 Facebook users.
