A recent study by University of British Columbia researchers, led by Dr. Amori Mikami, suggests that young people's mental health may be influenced by how they engage with social media rather than the amount of time spent on it. The study found that managing online interactions thoughtfully or abstaining from social media altogether can lead to mental health benefits, such as reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. By teaching young adults smarter engagement techniques, such as fostering meaningful connections and limiting self-comparisons, the study showed improvements in well-being without completely cutting off social media. Dr. Mikami believes that with the right guidance, young adults can curate a more positive online experience to support their mental health. [Extracted from the article] |
