From the psychological perspective: to explore the impact of the use of life-sharing social media on the anxiety of young people

摘要

      As social media platforms become increasingly dominant in daily life, their impact on mental health is increasingly attracting attention. These platforms often highlight the idealized life, and the use of these platforms will encourage the psychology of social comparison, thus leading to increased anxiety symptoms, and young people are vulnerable to the pressure to maintain an idealized image online. In addition, social media can create virtual relationships that lack emotional depth and thus encourage loneliness. This paper argues that we need to further recognize the psychological harm resulting from social media use and guide the healthier use of these platforms by youth groups.
