Social media and disordered eating among middle-aged women: Not just an adolescent concern

Evidence suggests social media use is strongly linked to disordered eating (e.g., binge eating and dietary restraint) among adolescent and young adult women, in part because it promotes engagement in social comparison (the tendency to evaluate one's own standing or ability by comparing it to another's). Yet no study has examined the impact of social media use and comparison on disordered eating among middle-aged women. Participants (N = 347), ages 40–63, completed an online survey about their social media use, social comparison, and disordered eating (bulimic symptoms, dietary restraint, and broad eating pathology). Results indicated that 89 % (n = 310) of middle-aged women used social media in the past year. Most participants (n = 260; 75 %) used Facebook, and at least a quarter used Instagram or Pinterest. Approximately 65 % (n = 225) used social media at least daily. Controlling for age and body mass index, social media-specific social comparison was positively associated with bulimic symptoms, dietary restriction, and broad eating pathology (all ps < 0.001). Multiple regression models evaluating frequency of social media use and social media-specific social comparison together revealed that social comparison explained a significant amount of unique variance in bulimic symptoms, dietary restriction, and broad eating pathology (all ps < 0.001) above and beyond frequency of social media use. Instagram explained a significant proportion of variance of dietary restraint compared to other social media platforms (p = .001). Findings suggest a large percentage of middle-aged women frequently engage with some type of social media. Further, social media-specific social comparison, rather than frequency of social media use, may be driving disordered eating in this age group of women.

Impact of Social Media on Education: Both Positively and Negatively

Social media is an online platform that people use to create networked or hang out with others that have similar hobbies, interests, backgrounds, or real-world connections. Social networks have a big effect on young people. Social networking websites can help young individuals develop their social skills. A web-based method of exchange of information is called social media. Users can engage in conversations, share information, and produce material to post on the web via social media sites. There are many various types of social media, including blogs, microblogs, blogs, networking sites, sharing of photographs and videos internet pages, messaging programs, widgets, podcasts, virtual worlds, and etc. The study's major goals were to determine social media's effects on education, both positive and negative. It occurs a critical review study with in-depth reviews and a qualitative research approach that is based on secondary data gathered from electronic sources which includes book chapters to assist journals, articles, research, the internet, and the Google search engine. Analytical methods were used to conduct the literature review, then an assortment of choices was made after carefully reviewing all the data. Social media has been found to have a variety of benefits, but it also has some drawbacks that have an impact on persons. As an example, online networking can manipulate the public at large by compromising people's security, and some insignificant websites can have an adverse effect on young people who may develop an arrogant attitude and engage in some unlawful conduct. As a last resort, all citizens are urged to embrace the social media's positive elements and avoid its negative ones so that we might benefit from these brand-new technologies

Can inflammation predict social media use? Linking a biological marker of systemic inflammation with social media use among college students and middle-aged adults

Drawing on recent evidence that inflammation may promote social affiliative motivation, the present research proposes a novel perspective that inflammation may be associated with more social media use. In a cross-sectional analysis of a nationally representative sample, Study 1 (N = 863) found a positive association between C-reactive protein (CRP), a biomarker of systemic inflammation, and the amount of social media use by middle-aged adults. Study 2 (N = 228) showed that among college students CRP was prospectively associated with more social media use 6 weeks later. Providing stronger evidence of the directionality of this effect, Study 3 (N = 171) showed that in college students CRP predicted increased social media use in the subsequent week even after controlling for current week’s use. Additionally, in exploratory analyses of CRP and different types of social media use in the same week, CRP was only associated with using social media for social interaction and not for other purposes (e.g., entertainment). The present research sheds light on the social effects of inflammation and highlights potential benefits of using social media as a context for studying the impact of inflammation on social motivation and behavior.

"Taking Down the Monitoring": Privacy Protection for Social Media User in the Era of Big Data

In the era of big data, the development of technology has promoted social progress and given rise to various types of social media. The popularity of social media has made it an essential platform for information sharing and communication.

The Impacts of Social Media on Job Satisfaction: Task-Oriented Use and Relationship-Oriented Use

Employees are increasingly using social media in the workplace, and the literature has shown that social media use in the workplace can generate various positive outcomes such as enhanced performance. Because employees can use social media with different approaches, it is essential to understand how different types of social media use generate workplace outcomes and why employees engage in different types of social media use. In this study, we develop a model illustrating how employees’ perceived values of social media are related to their use of social media, which in turn affects their job satisfaction. We identify three types of perceived values in the workplace: utilitarian, hedonic, and social. We categorize the use of social media into task-oriented social media use and relationship-oriented use. We conducted surveys to collect data from American and Chinese employees who use social media in workplace. Our results show that the effects of task and relationship-oriented social media use were stronger for Chinese employees. In addition, utilitarian and social value are both positively related to task-oriented social media use, whereas hedonic and social value are both positively related to relationship-oriented social media use. Theoretically, our study expands the literature on social media use in the workplace through clarifying how different types of social media use are supported by various types of perceived values and by uncovering the role of culture in the process of social media use in the workplace. Practically, our study delivers insights for companies into how to support different types of social media use and how to enhance job satisfaction in the workplace.

Knowledge Gaps, Cognition and Media Learning: Designing Tailored Messages to Address COVID-19 Communication Inequalities

Various health and crisis studies have demonstrated support for the existence of knowledge gaps—a hypothesis suggesting that information will reach those in the lower socioeconomic status last, worsening health disparities. At the point at which COVID-19 vaccines were becoming widely accessible, the present study surveyed 651 Black Americans to understand vaccine hesitancy, intentions, and media learning variations after exposure to different types of social media posts about the COVID-19 vaccine. Although exposure to any of the message conditions in our study resulted in a decrease in vaccine hesitancy, we found mixed support for the knowledge gap hypothesis. Results show that lack of knowledge because of socioeconomic status is not a key factor driving vaccine hesitancy among Black Americans. Instead, public communication (government) campaigns may consider focusing on strategies to target Black American communities by age to improve media learning, and consider increasing social control and communal message functions to increase cognitive processing of pro-vaccine messages, and over the longer term, influence COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and uptake.

Owned media or earned media? The influence of social media types on impulse buying intention in internet celebrity restaurants

Social media marketing is crucial to the development of internet celebrity restaurants. However, there is a research gap on the relationship between social media types and consumers’ buying intention in internet celebrity restaurants. Based on the elaboration likelihood model (ELM), our research examines the heterogeneous effects of social media types (owned media vs. earned media) on impulse buying intention in three scenario-based experiments. The findings reveal that compared to owned media, earned media can trigger a stronger impulse buying intention. Moreover, the awakening of interest and brand trust play mediating roles in this process. However, high brand familiarity weakens the effect of earned media on customers’ impulse buying intention, awakening of interest, and brand trust. Our findings improve the understanding of the functions of social media types and provide management implications for developing marketing strategies.

Psychological Emotion Recognition of Students using Machine Learning based Chatbot

Anxiety and depression can have a significant impact on students’ academic performance, however, these mental health impacts were increased during the Covid-19 pandemic, and accordingly students and parents need some people to share their feelings together; however, there are different types of social media apps and platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, and others. Twitter is one of the most popular social application that people prefer to share their emotional states. Interestingly, the psychologist and computer scientists are inspired to study these emotions. In this paper, we propose a chatbot for detecting the students feeling by using machine-learning algorithms. The authors used a dataset of tweets from Kaggle’s paltform, and it includes 41157 tweets that are all related to the COVID19. The tweets are classified into categories based on the feeling: Positive and negative. The authors applied Machine Learning algorithms, Support Vector Machines (SVM) and the Naïve Bayes (NB) and accordingly they compared the accuracy between them. In addition to that, the classifiers were evaluated and compared after changing the test split ratio. The result shows that the accuracy performance of SVM algorithm is better than Naïve Bayes algorithm, but the speed is extremely slow compared to Naive Bayes model. In future, other neural network algorithms such as the RNN, LSTM will be implemented, and Arabic tweets will be included in the future.

Correlation between Suicidal Ideation and Addiction to Various Social Media Platforms in a Sample of Young Adults: The Benefits of Physical Activity

The rise in suicide death rates has become a major public health concern, which has led to increased addiction to internet and social media platforms. Despite the limited research available on the relationship between suicidal ideation and addiction to social media such as Instagram and TikTok, this study aims to examine this connection. The study design is cross-sectional, quantitative, comparative, and correlational, with a quasi-experimental approach. The sample includes 315 young adults aged 20 to 30 who were surveyed through the administration of the Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire (SIQ) and the Social Media Disorder Scale-Short Form (SMDS-SF) surveys. The results showed differences in addiction levels based on the type of social media, specifically between TikTok and other social media platforms. The study found that female participants who engage in physical activity (PA) four times a week had lower levels of suicidal ideation than those who did not; there were no differences compared to male participants. This suggests that PA may be a potential strategy for preventing and reducing suicide-related phenomena. The results also indicate that addiction to social media was a statistically significant predictor of suicidal ideation, after controlling for gender and PA.
