Sociability Project: Social Media and Negative Well-Being.
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This thesis is a literature review that focuses on the negative effects that social media use has on psychological well-being. Past research has shown positive effects from social media as well as negative effects. The purpose of this is literature review is to show the different ways in which social media use may lead to negative outcomes in well-being. This literature review contains numerous studies and articles that explore the different ways in which social media negatively affects the well-being of social media users. This literature review uses a simple definition of well-being and describes how personal relationships connect to well-being. Because social media is based on social relationships between users, the articles were chosen to show how different types of social media use may lead to negative well-being.
