Social Media Use and Adolescents' Mental Health: Beyond "Good" or "Bad"

New

In this talk, Luisa Fassi from the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit & Department of Psychiatry, will discuss the extent to which existing research can inform us of the effect that social media use has on adolescents’ mental health.

Specifically, Luisa will examine the evidence on the links between different patterns of social media use (e.g., time spent on social media, messaging with friends, posting, exposure to specific content) and different mental health states (e.g., wellbeing and life satisfaction) as well as conditions (e.g., depression, anxiety and eating disorders).
