Goals
"We conducted this study with the aim to construct a questionnaire that will in a more comprehensive manner capture, not only objective behaviors on FB, but also deeper psychological processes that arise during, after, or as a consequence of FB use." (Bodroža & Jovanović, 2016, p. 427)
"The first aim of this study was to construct the questionnaire for measuring socio-psychological aspects of FB use and to examine its latent structure. The second aim was to examine relationship of obtained dimensions of FB use with personality traits." (Bodroža & Jovanović, 2016, p. 427)
