This study examined the differences between Facebook-using and non-Facebook-using older adults ages 65 years and older in levels of loneliness, depression and anxiety when controlling for social connectedness. There was a total of 74 participants in the study: 46 online Survey Monkey participants (Facebook users) and 28 community participants (non-Facebook users), between the ages of 65 and 88 years (M = 72.81, SD = 5.845). Data was collected offline using the UCLA Loneliness Scale-Short Form, the Geriatric Depression Scale-Short Form, the Geriatric Anxiety Scale- Short Form, and the Social Connectedness Scale-Revised. Data was also collected online with these same measures but with the addition of the Facebook Intensity Scale and additional questions regarding Facebook usage. The researchers hypothesized that older adults who utilize Facebook would report lower levels of depression, loneliness and anxiety than older adults who do not utilize Facebook when controlling for social connectedness. In addition, the researchers hypothesized that among Facebook users, the baby boomer cohort would report higher levels of Facebook usage than the silent generation cohort when controlling for social connectedness, that the baby boomer generation would report lower levels of loneliness than the silent generation, and that there would be a relationship between multimorbidity and loneliness. The results showed no statistical significance in the difference between levels of loneliness, anxiety or depression between Facebook users and non-Facebook users. No statistical significance was found when testing for the loneliness levels and differences in Facebook usage between the baby boomer age cohort and the silent generation age cohort. Statistical significance was found when testing for the relationship between number of medical illnesses and reported loneliness levels.
