A recent study found that the number of social media accounts can reflect a person's mental health. Recent research data from the University of Pittsburgh School of Health Sciences showed that young people who use 7 to 11 social media accounts at the same time are three times more likely to have symptoms of depression and anxiety than those who only have 1 to 2 social media accounts. The main author of the study, Dr. Brian A. Primack, and his team conducted a survey in 2014, with a total of 1,787 people aged between 19 and 32. The survey used a depression assessment questionnaire to investigate the association between social media use and depression. The questionnaire involved the 11 most popular social media platforms at the time: Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Google Plus, Instagram, Snapchat, Reddit, Tumblr, Pinterest, Vine and LinkedIn. The final results showed that young people who used 7 to 11 social media at the same time had a 3 times higher rate of depression and anxiety symptoms than those who only had 1 to 2 social media accounts. The researchers said that there are two possible reasons for this phenomenon. One is depression and anxiety caused by trying to maintain a sense of presence on multiple platforms, and the other is that people who already suffer from depression or anxiety symptoms hope to create a comfortable and accepted atmosphere for themselves through multi-channel social media. As for who is the cause and who is the effect, further research is needed to determine.As a winner of Toutiao's Qingyun Plan and Baijiahao's Bai+ Plan, the 2019 Baidu Digital Author of the Year, the Baijiahao's Most Popular Author in the Technology Field, the 2019 Sogou Technology and Culture Author, and the 2021 Baijiahao Quarterly Influential Creator, he has won many awards, including the 2013 Sohu Best Industry Media Person, the 2015 China New Media Entrepreneurship Competition Beijing Third Place, the 2015 Guangmang Experience Award, the 2015 China New Media Entrepreneurship Competition Finals Third Place, and the 2018 Baidu Dynamic Annual Powerful Celebrity. |
