Dear All,
I am about to conduct a study on social media and mental health. I have read a lot of papers, but I am a bit stuck with variables.
Can anybody suggest the variables which affect social media and mental health excluding social comparison, self-esteem, personality, resilience?
Looking forward to the help.
Thanks
I think that you need to do more reading to establish which where the current research is.
"A study on social media and mental health" is not yet a research question, or even a question. You need to focus on what aspect of social media use you intend to look at, and what mental health effect. For example, you might be interested in selfies and the use of filters to make people conform to perceived social norms around appearance. Does that make people unhappy with their appearance? Or you might look at online bullying, or doomscrolling – the list is quite long, and each area already has a literature upon which you can build.
Thank you so much, Sir....I Will surely read in this perspective as well.
