The participants completed the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale (BFAS; Andreassen, Torsheim, Brunborg, Pallesen, 2012) in Polish adaptation by Charzyńska and Góźdź (2014) and the Satisfaction with Relationship Status Scale (ReSta; Lehmann et al., 2015) in Polish adaptation by Adamczyk (2019).

Results:
Correlation analysis was carried out between Facebook addiction and satisfaction with the relationship status. Correlation between variables was statistical significant.

Conclusions:
The findings revealed the existing link between Facebook addiction and status satisfaction. It is need of the future research in this area, among others replication of the study on the bigger respondents group.
