Mediating Role of Social Media on Youth’s Psychological Well-Being by Ashwini Kothambikar Pdf

This book is the result of a collaboration between a human editor and an artificial intelligence algorithm to create a machine-generated literature overview of research articles analyzing the mediating role of social media on the psychological wellbeing of youth. It’s a new publication format in which state-of-the-art computer algorithms are applied to select the most relevant articles published in Springer Nature journals and create machine-generated literature reviews by arranging the selected articles in a topical order and creating short summaries of these articles. In this volume, a human counsellor psychologist used the algorithm to explore articles that present results of research about the impacts of social media on the psychological wellbeing of youth. The Internet has always been popular among youth, but during the pandemic it has attracted even more attention since many aspects of life further migrated to the digital world, thus adding substantially to Internet’s ever-increasing popularity. Today, youth spend a majority portion of their time on the Internet and an increasing amount on social media. In such digitally dependent times, this book attempts to provide insights on the positive and negative impact of the Internet and social media on youth mental health, and also provides specific observations on personality traits.

The Psychology of Social Networking Vol.1 by Giuseppe Riva,Brenda K. Wiederhold,Pietro Cipresso Pdf

Using a novel approach to consider the available literature and research, this book focuses on the psychology of social media based on the assumption that the experience of being in a social media has an impact on both our identity and social relationships. In order to ‘be online’, an individual has to create an online presence – they have to share information about themselves online. This online self is presented in different ways, with diverse goals and aims in order to engage in different social media activities and to achieve desired outcomes. Whilst this may not be a real physical presence, that physicality is becoming increasingly replicated through photos, video, and ever-evolving ways of defining and describing the self online. Moreover, individuals are using both PC-based and mobile-based social media as well as increasingly making use of photo and video editing tools to carefully craft and manipulate their online self. This book therefore explores current debates in Cyberpsychology, drawing on the most up-to-date theories and research to explore four main aspects of the social media experience (communication, identity, presence and relationships). In doing so, it considers the interplay of different areas of psychological research with current technological and security insight into how individuals create, manipulate and maintain their online identity and relationships. The social media are therefore at the core of every chapter, with the common thread throughout being the very unique approach to considering diverse and varied online behaviours that may not have been thus far considered from this perspective. It covers a broad range of both positive and negative behaviours that have now become integrated into the daily lives of many westernised country’s Internet users, giving it an appeal to both scholarly and industry readers alike.

Social Networks in Youth and Adolescence by John Cotterell Pdf

This thoroughly revised new edition looks at the nature of social networks, their changing configurations, and the forces of influence they unleash in shaping the life experiences of young people between the ages of 12 and 25 years. The author draws on both social and psychological research to apply network thinking to the social relations of youth across the domains of school, work and society. Network thinking examines the pattern and nature of social ties, and analyses how networks channel information, influence and support with effects on a wide range of life experiences. The book comprises eleven chapters, which contain discussion on key topics, such as youth transitions, network analysis, friendship, romantic ties, peer victimization, antisocial behaviour, youth risk-taking, school motivation, career influence, youth citizenship, and community organizations for young people. Chapters contain discussions of practical ways in which schools can provide support, and suggestions for youth organizations on how to assist young people to become effective citizens.

The Effect of Social Media on Adolescent Girls by Stefani Taylor Pdf

Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Psychology - Social Psychology, grade: 97.0, language: English, abstract: Social media has completely transformed the way we communicate, form and nurture relationships, and interact with the people in our lives. For adolescents growing up as digital natives, social media usage can serve as a unique obstacle to their emotional and behavioral development as they continue to try to master such tasks as effective communication, emotional regulation, impulse control and identify formation in what is essentially a virtual reality. This paper examines the effect social media has on the attitudes and behavior of adolescent girls and attempts to identify some of the major concerns their participation raises. Utilizing data from peer-reviewed journals, case studies, and independent surveys, we examine some of the major impacts social media usage has on young female users including changes in self-esteem, responsibility, levels of aggression and academic performance.
