Investigate the psychological effects of social media

Investigate the psychological effects of social media use on individuals’ mental health, self-esteem, body image, and social relationships. Discuss theories of social comparison, self-presentation, and fear of missing out (FOMO) in explaining the relationship between social media engagement and psychological well-being. Analyze research findings on cyberbullying, online harassment, and digital self-harm behaviors, and their consequences for adolescents’ mental health and academic performance. Evaluate the role of digital detoxes, social media literacy programs, and mindful social media use interventions in promoting digital well-being and reducing negative psychological outcomes associated with excessive social media consumption.
