I'm in the same boat, to the point where she asked me to password restrict her being able to install the facebook app. She'll still access it through the web interface, she says to make it more difficult to access.
She's the introverted type, socially anxious, and I can understand the draw of being able to look into others lives without having to actually interact with them. The problem, then, is just as the study describes. Face to face conversations give a better glimpse on what's really going on personally, the good and the bad, while the newsfeed is a stream of bragging or things to be judgmental about.
Top news is the feature of facebook I appreciate most. I would go crazy if I were only inundated with the stream of menial crap you see in real time. Facebook learns who I actually interact with and knows my family members, and shows me the "upvoted" stories so that when I get on facebook once daily for 3-5 mins, I'm caught up.
