Excessive Use Of Social Media Research Articles

Influence of Social Media on Physicians' Behaviors

The influence of social media on health-related behaviors is a major research topic. Social media platforms play a crucial role in disseminating health information, thus influencing individuals' perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors towards health and healthcare. These platforms allow quick access to a large amount of information but can also convey inaccurate or misleading information. Social media also enables individuals to share their personal health experiences, which can influence the behavior of other users. Health awareness and promotion campaigns conducted on social media can have a significant impact by reaching a wide audience. Additionally, social media platforms have become popular spaces for healthcare professionals and healthcare organizations to interact with patients, answer their questions, and provide medical advice. However, excessive use of social media can also have negative effects on mental health, including contributing to anxiety, depression, and social isolation. It is therefore crucial to understand how social media shapes health-related behaviors in order to promote healthy behaviors and counter misinformation.

EFEK KECANDUAN MEDIA TIK TOK TERHADAP PERILAKU SOSIAL REMAJA

Tiktok social media is one of the fastest growing social media platforms in the world, excessive use of social media by teenagers will have a negative impact on academic performance at school, teenagers become lazy and irresponsible with their duties, resulting in teenagers not having time to study. This research uses qualitative research with a descriptive approach. A person's social behavior can be influenced during the learning process through motivation and influence from the surrounding environment. Peers can have an influence on the use of TikTok, from those who don't initially use TikTok to those who end up using TikTok. Teenagers with social media addiction are more likely to experience various negative problems including problems in social behavior.

Mathematical insights of social media addiction: fractal-fractional perspectives

The excessive use of social media has become a growing concern in the current century, with dependence on these platforms developing into a complex behavioral addiction. Addressing this issue requires the employment of well-directed and inclusive efforts. In pursuit of continuous development in existent strategies, this article presents a non-linear deterministic mathematical model that encapsulates the dynamics of social media addiction within a population. The proposed model incorporates the fractal-fractional order derivative in the sense of the Caputo operator. The objectives of this research are attained by groping the dynamics of the social media addiction model through the stratification of the population into five compartments: susceptible individuals, exposed individuals, addicted individuals, recovery individuals, and those who have quit using social media. The validity of the devised model is established by proving the existence and uniqueness of the solution within the framework of the fixed-point theory. The Ulam-Hyer’s stability is established through nonlinear functional analysis, perturbing the problem with a small factor. Utilizing the Adam Bashforth numerical scheme, we obtain numerical solutions, which we validate through MATLAB simulations. Additionally, we explore the application of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to approximate solutions, presenting a significant innovation in this domain. We propose the adoption of this novel method for solving integral equations that elucidate the dynamics of social media addiction, surpassing traditional numerical methods. Numerical results are illustrated across various fractional orders and fractal dimensions, with comparisons made against integer orders. Our study indicates that ANN outperforms the Adams-Bashforth algorithm, offering a dependable approach to problem-solving. Throughout the article, we underscore the competitive advantage of our proposed strategy, providing a more nuanced understanding of the complex dynamics outlined in the model.

Can social connections become stressful? Exploring the link between social media use and perceived stress in cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses of 25,053 adults

Background Social media has become a dominant part of daily lives for many, but excessive use may lead to an experience of stress. Only relatively few studies have investigated social media’s influence on mental health. Aims We aimed to investigate whether social media use is associated with perceived stress and changes in perceived stress over 18 months. Methods The study population consisted of 25,053 adults (mean age 42.8; 62% women) from the SmartSleep Study. Self-reported frequency of social media use, of 10 specific social media platforms, and of perceived stress (the Perceived Stress Scale 4 item) was obtained at baseline and 18-months follow-up (N = 1745). The associations were evaluated at baseline and follow-up using multiple linear regression models adjusted for potential confounders. Results Compared to non-use, high social media use (at least every second hour) was associated with a slightly higher perceived stress level at baseline. No association was found between the frequency of social media use and changes in perceived stress during follow-up. Only small differences in these associations were noted across social media platforms. Conclusions Further studies are needed to comprehensively explore the relationship between excessive social media use and mental health, recognizing different characteristics across social media platforms.

En-route for an Automatic early stress & non-stress detection analysis for supervised learning with Bayes’ theorem based on multimodal measurements

<p>Chronic stress leads to mental health issues as well as other physical health issues such as cardiovascular disease. Excessive use of social media leads to Psychological stress. Around 20% of the world’s, among those aged 15 to 29, children and adolescents agonize from psychological illness through suicide is the second largest reason for impermanence. Mental Health Conditions may have a substantial effect on all aspects of life such as work performance or school, family and friend relationships, and socializing in society. A state of total well-being is one in which the mind is at ease and the body is upright. While much research has been done to determine the mind-body connection, a recent study found that heart health is strongly related to mental wellness. In a recent statement issued in the journal Circulation by the American Heart Association on March 9th, 2021, it was established that good psychological health can minimize the risk of heart disease. Today’s challenge is Covid 19 pandemic which caused anxiety, loneliness, fear of the pandemic, being infected, pessimism, etc. are the causes of major Heart diseases. People have turned to the Internet for help due to the lack of access to face-to-face management. The critical need for dependable and effective digital solutions is highlighted and designated by many available and widely accessible. We have proposed the framework for identifying the values of stress words and non-stress words using the Bayes theorem formula. If the words are stress words, then an action plan can be formulated thereby reducing the suicides and assuring the well-being of individuals. Finally, precision and accuracy are achieved with ISDF (Improved Stress Detection Framework) and Stress Detection using Bayes Theorem, unlike TensiStrength.</p>

The relationship of problematic Facebook use and Facebook context on empathy for pain processing: A functional near-infrared spectroscopy study

Positive and negative consequences of using social media (SM) have been observed. Excessive use of SM, such as Facebook, can lead to problematic behaviours, resulting in emotional and social functioning changes. Moreover, the problematic use of SM is negatively associated with empathy's affective and cognitive components. The present study used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to test empathy differences between problematic and non-problematic Facebook users. In addition, the Facebook-related context that may modulate empathic response was investigated. Fifty-two participants (25 females; Mage = 24.6 years [SD ± 2.9]) took part in the study and were classified into two groups: non-problematic and problematic Facebook users. The study was conducted using the empathy for pain paradigm with three media-related contextual conditions: newspaper, Facebook-related, and neutral. The results indicated there was a statistically significant difference between the left and right side of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) among nonproblematic Facebook users when observing pain stimuli in the context of Facebook. For problematic Facebook users, there was significantly more activity on the left side of the PFC (compared to the right side) when observing painful stimuli in the newspaper context and non-painful stimuli in a neutral context. The differences in haemodynamic activity registered by fNIRS between the left and right PFCs were observed in both groups and may have resulted from difficulties in regulating emotional response and attention, particularly among the problematic Facebook user group.

The Social Comparison Rumination Scale: Development, Psychometric Properties, and Associations With Perfectionism, Narcissism, Burnout, and Distress

In the current article, we describe the development and validation of the Social Comparison Rumination Scale. This measured was developed as a supplement to existing social comparison measures and to enable us to determine its potential relevance to perfectionism and other personality constructs. The Social Comparison Rumination Scale (SCRS) is a six-item inventory assessing the extent to which an individual is cognitively preoccupied and thinking repetitively about social comparison outcomes and information. Three studies with five samples of university students are described. Psychometric analyses established the SCRS consists of one factor assessed with high internal consistency and the measure is reliable and valid. Analyses showed that elevated levels of social comparison rumination are associated with trait perfectionism, perfectionistic automatic thoughts, perfectionistic self-presentation, ruminative brooding, burnout, depression, and fear of negative evaluation. Links were also established between social comparison rumination and both narcissism and dispositional envy. Overall, our findings support the further use of the SCRS and highlight the tendency of many people to think in deleterious ways about social comparisons long after the actual comparisons have taken place. We discuss social comparison rumination within the context of concerns about excessive social media use and young people being exposed to seemingly perfect lives that became a vexing cognitive preoccupation.

Revealing the Influence of Social Media Advertising on Women's Representation in Moroccan Society

In our society, social media has become an integral part of our everyday life. We cannot dissociate ourselves from its hegemony. Also, we are influenced by what is transmitted across all categories. Advertising, a significant component of media content, occupies a substantial portion of social media platforms. Consequently, audiences are easily persuaded to purchase specific products. Through advertising on social media, it is straightforward to convey messages of gender role degradation and stereotypes concerning women, effectively convincing the audience. This article aims to illustrate the detrimental effects of advertising's targets on women.  Social media is everywhere in our lives, and advertisements have a significant impact on our lives through the excessive use of social media. However, Social media advertisements frequently depict women negatively, which can lead to negative perceptions of women. This study has shown that social media advertisements negatively portray women, which is alarming. We should be aware of how these advertisements can influence our opinions and take steps to improve them. Ads that fairly and respectfully represent women can contribute to a more inclusive social media environment for all users, including women. It's important to acknowledge the influence of advertising and work toward improving the representation of women online.

Neuroticism trait personality and social media fatigue in early adults

Social media is a means of digital-based self-exploration, and the formation of personality traits such as neuroticism. Excessive use of social media, based on a strong neuroticism trait, can cause individuals to experience social media fatigue. This study aims to determine the relationship between neuroticism trait personality and social media fatigue in early adulthood. The method used is a quantitative correlational design. The number of participants involved was 136 early adults using social media, obtained using an accidental sampling technique. The scale used in this research is big five inventory (α=.890) to measure neuroticism trait personality and the social media fatigue scale (α=.934) to measure social media fatigue. The data analysis method uses the product moment correlation test from Karl Pearson. The results showed that there was a significant positive relationship between neuroticism trait personality and social media fatigue in early adulthood (r=.361 and sig.=.000). This indicates that the neuroticism personality trait is a factor that can cause social media fatigue in early adulthood. Training and forming a healthy personality by maintaining emotional stability can help the process of self-exploration in social media so that they can complete developmental tasks properly as early adults.

The Effect of Social Media Use on Adolescents’ Psychological Well-Being: A Systematic Literature Review

Social media has experienced significant growth over the past twenty years and has facilitated online communication. With 4.95 billion global users as of October 2023, it has become an important aspect of everyday life, with a third of the global population using at least one app. Using a systematic literature review methodology, this study explores screening methods used to measure the impact of social media and its impact on adolescent psychological well-being. This study was conducted according to the systematic review guidelines proposed in the PRISMA statement. A total of 948 studies published between 2019 and 2023 on the Google Scholar and Scopus databases were identified, but only 9 articles met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Cross-sectional studies have shown a higher correlation between excessive social media use and depression among girls aged 13-15 years. In addition, the results of the study also found that the use of social media can cause anxiety, depression, and loneliness among adolescents.

Brands as drivers of social media fatigue and its effects on users’ disengagement: the perspective of young consumers

Purpose Social media has become an inescapable part of our lives. However, recent research suggests that excessive use of social media may lead to fatigue and users’ disengagement. This study aims to examine which brand-related factors contribute to social media fatigue (SMF) and its subsequent role on driving lurking behaviors, particularly among young consumers. Design/methodology/approach Based on survey data from 282 young users of social media, a holistic model of brand-related drivers and outcomes of SMF was tested, emphasizing the contribution of brands’ social media presence to users’ disengagement. Findings Research shows that branded content overload and irrelevance, as well as branded ads intrusiveness significantly impact SMF, which in turn plays a mediating role between brand-related drivers and lurking behaviors. The authors further conclude that the impact of SMF on lurking is stronger for users who follow a larger set of brands. Originality/value The study contributes to social media research by addressing its “dark side” and empirically validating the role of brands’ social media presence in developing young users’ fatigue and disengagement. The study further adds to the scant literature on SMF, which was mostly developed outside the branding field. Research also provides valuable insights to brands on how to improve their social media performance.

Influence of Social Media on Secondary School Students' Learning of Sexual Education In Nigeria

This study investigates the influence of various factors on the knowledge of sexual education among adolescent students in Nigeria, with a particular focus on the role of social media (SM) engagement. A sample of 1,136 participants was surveyed, and logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the associations between demographic variables, SM use patterns, and content engagement on SM platforms with the knowledge of sexual education. Findings reveal significant associations between several factors and knowledge of sexual education. Older students (aged 15 and above), senior secondary students, and those attending private schools demonstrate higher odds of possessing sexual education knowledge. Notably, participants who engage with SM platforms for 1-3 hours per week exhibit increased odds of having knowledge, while excessive SM use (more than 6 hours per week) is associated with decreased odds of knowledge acquisition. Furthermore, content engagement on SM shows varying associations, with educational content positively correlated with knowledge acquisition, and entertainment content negatively correlated. These results underscore the importance of considering diverse factors, including demographics and SM use behaviors, in promoting sexual education among adolescent populations. Strategies aimed at enhancing sexual education programs should take into account the differential impact of SM engagement and content preferences on knowledge acquisition. Addressing these factors can contribute to the development of more effective interventions for promoting sexual health literacy among adolescents in Nigeria and similar contexts.

The Associations Between Social Media Use with Eating Behavior, Physical Activity, and Nutrition Status among Adolescents in DKI Jakarta

Background: Increased adolescent social media use can lead to lower physical activity. In addition, the growth of marketing of unhealthy foods and drinks is inevitable. In short, excessive social media use may negatively impact nutrition problems, eating behavior, and physical activities. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the relationship between patterns of social media use and nutrition status, eating behavior, and physical activity among adolescents in DKI Jakarta. Methods: The study was cross-sectional and involved 187 students from public high schools in Jakarta. Data was collected using the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), the use of social media questionnaire, and an anthropometric assessment to measure body mass index for age. The statistical analysis used was the chi-square test. Results: No significant association were found between the frequency and duration of social media use and nutrition status. The type of exposure to social media content does not show a significant relationship with nutrition status, eating behavior, and physical activity. However, there were significant associations between frequency (p=0.022) and duration (p=0.003) of social media use and eating behavior. Likewise, there was a significant relationship between frequency (p=0.021) and duration (p=0.005) of social media use with physical activity. Conclusions: Duration and frequency of social media use are associated with riskier eating patterns and lower adolescent physical activity. Therefore, nutrition education in adolescents should also include topics on social media use.

Contested Self-image Because of Excessive Use of Social Media: A Qualitative Study of Female Instagram Users of Fast University Islamabad

Adolescent girls and young women may be influenced by social media settings to participate in social comparison, leading to feelings of inadequacy and body dissatisfaction. Instagram usage was nevertheless frequently observed to have notable special effects on body dissatisfaction, eating disorders, and inappropriate dieting behaviours in an attempt to achieve an ideal body image. From this research, it was shown that most young girls think that in Pakistani culture, certain body types are marketed on Instagram and by Instagram influencers. Social media has grown in popularity, particularly among university students and adolescent girls. Instagram may be a harmful mirror in which young women see their bodies in a distorted way. To look better, respondents also said that they use Instagram to keep up with the latest fashion and cosmetics trends.
