Research indicates that social media can exacerbate anxiety among youths, creating a complex landscape where these platforms serve both supportive and detrimental roles. Evidence shows a clear correlation between excessive social media use and heightened social anxiety, particularly among adolescents. Mindfulness apps are emerging as effective tools to help young people manage these negative emotional impacts. By incorporating mindfulness practices, young users may counteract adverse effects and enhance their mental well-being in an increasingly digital social environment.
In their study of Chinese college students, researcher Li Sun found that social media use did correlate with higher levels of social anxiety and in these areas.
A growing body of research demonstrates associations between social media use and social anxiety for adolescents and young adults.
