IMPACT OF SOCIAL
MEDIA
LARGE SCALE SURVEY(WEB)

SURVEY:1

Objective:This study investigated the longitudinal relationship


between the frequency of viewing and posting on social media
and mental health problems among UK adults.

Methods:This study included 15,836 adults (aged 16 years and


older) who participated in Understanding Society, a UK
longitudinal survey. Social media use was measured with
questions about the frequency of viewing social media and
posting on social media in Understanding Society Wave 11
(2019-2021). They explored viewing and posting separately, as
well as a combined exposure: (1) high viewing, high posting;
(2) high viewing, low posting;
(3) low viewing, high
posting; and (4) low
viewing, low posting.

Mental health problems were measured in Wave 12 (2020-2022)


using the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), a validated
scale for identifying symptoms of common mental health

problems, where higher scores indicated more mental health


problems (0 to 36). Unadjusted and adjusted linear regression
models were estimated for viewing social media and posting on
social media, adjusting for the baseline GHQ score, gender, age,
ethnicity, employment, and education. We found no evidence for
effect modification by gender and age so overall associations
were reported.

Results: We found that adults who posted daily on social media


had more mental health problems than those who never posted
on social media, corresponding to a 0.35-point increase in GHQ
score (β=0.35, 95% CI 0.01-0.68; P=.04). When we considered
both social media behaviors, we found that those who frequently
viewed and posted on social media scored 0.31 points higher on
the GHQ score (β=0.31, 95% CI 0.04-0.58; P=.03) in the following
year compared to those who rarely viewed or posted on social
media.

SURVEY 2
1. Introduction
According to the World Health Organization, the prevalence of
mental health problems is increasing at a rate of 13% per year .
Anxiety and depression are the most common mental health
issues, affecting 264 million and 280 million people worldwide,
respectively . In addition, an estimated 269 million people were
struggling with drug and substance abuse by the end of 2018 .
These numbers are likely to continue to rise due to a variety of
factors. Social media refers to applications that allow users to
interact with each other through the creation and exchange of
media, text, and calls within a network .

Methods
Saudi Arabia has a high level of social media usage, with 82.3% of
the population (29.5 million people) using social media in 2022 .
Young people, who

make up 36.74% of the population, are the biggest users of social


media in Saudi Arabia, with 98.43% of young people using social
networking sites . The top three reasons given by Saudis for using
social media are keeping in touch with friends and family, use of
free time, and finding products to purchase The prevalence of
mental health issues in the KSA is estimated to be around 20.2% .
Depression is the most common mental health condition,
affecting 21% of the population, followed by anxiety (17.5%) and
stress (12.6%) . Research has shown that social media use in
Saudi Arabia is correlated with increased mental health issues .
High social media exposure has also been found to be associated
with a higher risk of depression and anxiety in the kingdom .

Results:
The researcher established the criteria comparison matrix using
the responses to questions that asked participants to rank the
factors influencing their sentiments on social media features. The
ranking was based on the mean score obtained from the 385
responses regarding their criteria ranking. In this case, the
highest ranked criteria by the

respondents scored higher values in Table 3. Evidence suggests


that people decided which social media feature they valued
mostly based on its entertainment value (value = 6) and less so
based on the feature’s privacy (value = 1).

instantly, share updates, and maintain relationships with loved
ones, regardless of distance.
2. Providing Peer Support
Online communities and groups offer safe spaces for
individuals to discuss challenges like mental health, illnesses,
or personal struggles. These platforms foster peer support and
reduce feelings of isolation by connecting users with others
who share similar experiences.
3. Encouraging Self-Expression
Social media allows individuals to express their ideas,
creativity, and individuality. Whether through blogs, videos, or
posts, platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube empower
users to share their passions and talents, boosting their
confidence and self-esteem.
4. Promoting Awareness and Education

critical social, environmental, and health issues. Campaigns like
#MeToo, climate change movements, and mental health
initiatives have reached millions, sparking meaningful
conversations and societal change.
5. Offering Mental Health Resources
Platforms provide easy access to mental health resources and
support. Organizations like the National Suicide Prevention
Lifeline and various non-profits use social media to share
helpline numbers, coping strategies, and educational content,
making help accessible to a broader audience.
6. Fostering Community and Belonging
Social media creates communities where users can bond over
shared interests, from hobbies to cultural practices. For
marginalized groups, these online spaces provide a sense of
belonging and validation, empowering them to voice their
stories and connect with like-minded individuals.
7. Enhancing Learning Opportunities

access to educational content. Platforms like LinkedIn,
YouTube, and even TikTok provide tutorials, webinars, and

mental health, chronic illnesses, and social inequalities, social
media reduces stigma. Influencers, advocates, and
organizations use these platforms to educate and inspire,
encouraging inclusivity and understanding.
Negative Impacts of Social Media
1. Mental Health Challenges
Social media has been linked to increased rates of anxiety,
depression, and stress. The addictive nature of platforms like
Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook encourages excessive use,
which can disrupt mental well-being.
o Validation Dependency: The need for likes, shares,
and comments creates a reliance on external validation.
Users who don’t receive this validation may experience
feelings of rejection or inadequacy.
o Chronic Stress: The constant exposure to notifications,
messages, and updates keeps users in a state of
heightened alertness, leading to mental exhaustion
over time.
2. Cyberbullying and Online Harassment
Social media platforms are breeding grounds for cyberbullying,
with individuals often hiding behind anonymous profiles to
target others.
o Psychological Harm: Victims of cyberbullying may
experience long-lasting effects, including low self-
esteem, depression, and even suicidal thoughts.
o Scale of the Issue: According to studies, a significant
percentage of teens and young adults report being
harassed online, and platforms like Instagram and
Twitter have become hotspots for such behavior.
3. Unrealistic Beauty Standards
Social media platforms heavily emphasize appearance, with
users often presenting highly curated and edited versions of
themselves.
o Filtered Reality: The use of filters and editing tools
creates unattainable beauty standards, making users
feel dissatisfied with their real-life appearance.
o Impact on Teenagers: Young users, especially girls, are
particularly vulnerable to body image issues, leading to
eating disorders, body dysmorphia, and low self-worth.
4. Fear of Missing Out (FOMO)
Social media fuels FOMO, making users feel left out when they
see others enjoying activities, events, or experiences.
o Constant Comparison: Platforms act as highlight reels,
showing only the most exciting moments of others’
lives. This leads to a distorted perception of reality and
heightened feelings of inadequacy.
o Compulsive Behavior: FOMO drives users to check
their feeds frequently, disrupting daily routines,
reducing productivity, and exacerbating anxiety.
5. Addiction and Overuse
The addictive nature of social media is rooted in its ability to
trigger dopamine release, similar to addictive substances.
o Behavioral Addiction: Many users spend hours
scrolling through feeds, unable to disconnect, which
impacts their daily lives.
o Cognitive Impairment: Prolonged screen time can
reduce attention spans and hinder critical thinking
skills.
6. Negative Effects on Relationships
Social media can strain personal relationships by fostering
miscommunication, jealousy, and mistrust.
o Conflict Arising from Misinterpretation:
Misunderstandings often arise when users interpret
posts or comments out of context.
o Neglect of Real-life Interactions: People sometimes
prioritize online interactions over meaningful face-to-
face connections, weakening the bonds in real
relationships.
7. Privacy Concerns and Data Misuse
Social media platforms collect vast amounts of user data, which
raises significant privacy issues.
o Data Exploitation: Personal information is often sold
to advertisers or mishandled, as seen in scandals like
the Cambridge Analytica case.
o Risk of Identity Theft: Publicly shared information
can be exploited by cybercriminals, leading to financial
or reputational damage.
8. Impact on Physical Health
Social media usage has tangible effects on users' physical
health, particularly when it leads to prolonged screen time.
o Sleep Disruption: The blue light emitted by screens
affects melatonin production, leading to poor sleep
quality and insomnia.
o Sedentary Lifestyle: Excessive time spent on social
media contributes to a lack of physical activity,
increasing the risk of obesity and related health issues.
9. Spread of Misinformation
Social media platforms are often used to disseminate false
information, with users sometimes failing to verify sources
before sharing content.
o Public Confusion: The rapid spread of fake news
undermines trust in legitimate information sources.
o Polarization: Misinformation about sensitive topics,
such as politics and health, creates division and fosters
hostility among users.
10. Economic and Academic Disruption
Social media can negatively affect productivity in both
professional and educational settings.
o Workplace Impact: Employees distracted by social
media may experience decreased efficiency, missed
deadlines, and lower-quality output.
o Academic Challenges: Students who spend excessive
time on social platforms often report reduced academic
performance, as social media distracts them from
studying and disrupts their focus
REAL LIFE STORIES/CASE STUDIES

1. Kareena shared her personal story about the pressures


of social media. Growing up, she always compared
herself to others, seeking validation from her peers. This
habit continued into adulthood, exacerbated by social
media, where she saw only the highlights of others'
lives. This constant comparison led to anxiety and a
feeling of inadequacy. Alyssa realized that social media
was contributing to her mental health struggles and
decided to take steps to limit her usage and focus on
self-acceptance.
2. Keegan Lee experienced a social media addiction during
the pandemic. She found herself constantly checking her
phone, unable to put it down even during meals or track
practice. This addiction interfered with her
relationships and self-perception. Realizing the negative
impact, Keegan deleted her social media apps and
became an advocate for digital mental health. Her story
highlights the importance of self-awareness and taking
control of one's social media usage.
3. Marrie was a patient who was recovering from a
primary depression and a secondary anxiety. While her
depressive symptoms and anxiety symptoms were in
remission, she still struggled at finding a way of income
to support her. Her dependency on her parents at the
age of 28 bothered her and thoughts associated to this
were triggering depressive mood. After discussions on
identifying her strengths, she identified that she is
competent in making greeting cards which are of
sellable quality. Yet she felt that she lacked the resources
to connect with sellers. After further consideration, she
decided to directly attempt at selling her cards through
an FB page. This succeeded steadily and was helping the
patient develop more rational and positive thoughts
about her strengths. Further, appreciative comments
from others on her creations had a positive impact on
her self-esteem. During the course of therapy she also
learnt skills to respond to possible negative comments
in future.

4. Ayesha Akram might not mean much to many of the


people reading this, but in Pakistan, she’s something of a
social media star. In August 2021, she and a group of
friends traveled to the Minar-e-Pakistan monument in
Lahore to record people celebrating the country’s
Independence Day.
But as they were filming in Iqbal Park, hundreds of
men began swarming around them. At first, they only
took selfies, but the mob soon turned violent. As
Akram later described to reporters, she was
completely surrounded by people who groped her
and tore away her clothes, leaving the influencer with
no room to escape. Those who tried to intervene
found themselves blocked off by the sheer enormity
of the crowd. In total, the attack is reported to have
lasted around two and a half hours, with Akram
struggling to breathe at points.
The incident drew criticism from many Pakistani
officials and public figures. “The full might of the Govt
will come down upon those involved in the
horrendous Lahore incident,” tweeted Hashim Jawan
Bakht, Punjab Minister of Finance. “Society is judged
by its treatment of women and the freedom they
have. This is not what Pakistan stands for.”
HEALHTY USAGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA
1. Set Time Limits
Excessive time on social media can lead to burnout and disrupt
daily life. Setting limits helps maintain balance.
o Use apps like Screen Time (iOS) or Digital Wellbeing
(Android) to monitor and control your usage.
o Avoid using social media during critical hours, such as
before bedtime, to improve sleep quality.
2. Curate Your Content
The type of content you consume affects your mental well-
being. Follow accounts that inspire, educate, and uplift.
o Unfollow pages or individuals that spread negativity or
trigger unhealthy comparisons.
o Engage with positive creators and educational content
that aligns with your interests and goals.
3. Take Regular Breaks
Social media breaks are essential to avoid digital fatigue and
stress.
o Schedule specific times when you disconnect
completely, like during meals or weekends.
o Use these breaks to engage in hobbies, exercise, or
spend time with loved ones.
4. Avoid Mindless Scrolling
Passive scrolling often leads to wasted time and dissatisfaction.
Be intentional with your time online.
o Focus on meaningful interactions by commenting or
sharing posts that resonate with you.
o Set goals for your online sessions, such as learning
something new or catching up with friends.
5. Protect Your Privacy
Social media can expose personal information if not used
carefully.
o Use privacy settings to control who sees your posts and
profile.
o Avoid sharing sensitive information like your address,
location, or personal identifiers publicly.
6. Promote Positive Interactions
Healthy usage involves treating others with kindness and
respect online.
o Avoid engaging in arguments or spreading negativity.
o Be supportive and constructive when commenting or
sharing opinions.
7. Balance Online and Offline Activities
A healthy relationship with social media requires time for real-
life relationships and hobbies.
o Dedicate time to offline activities, such as reading,
painting, or playing sports.
o Establish phone-free zones or hours to fully engage
with family and friends.
8. Be Mindful of Emotional Triggers
Social media can evoke strong emotions, from joy to
frustration. Recognize and manage these triggers.
o If certain content makes you feel anxious or
inadequate, unfollow or mute those accounts.
o Use mindfulness techniques to pause and assess your
feelings before reacting online.
9. Consume Content Wisely
With misinformation rampant on social media, it’s vital to
verify sources and engage critically.
o Fact-check posts before believing or sharing them.
o Follow credible sources for news and educational
material.
10. Use Social Media for Growth
Leverage social media to learn, connect, and grow.
o Join online communities that align with your interests
or professional goals.

with others.
