Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This research project focuses on the impact of social media on mental health among adolescents. The prevalence of social media use among young people has increased significantly in recent years, raising concerns about its potential effects on mental well-being. The study aims to explore how various aspects of social media, such as the content consumed, the amount of time spent online, and the interactions with others, can influence the mental health of adolescents. Data will be collected through surveys and interviews with adolescents to gather information about their social media habits and mental health status. Statistical analyses will be conducted to identify any correlations between social media usage patterns and mental health indicators. Additionally, qualitative data from interviews will provide insights into the subjective experiences of adolescents in relation to social media and mental health. The findings from this research will contribute to the existing body of knowledge on the topic by providing a deeper understanding of the specific ways in which social media can impact the mental health of adolescents. The results may have practical implications for parents, educators, mental health professionals, and policymakers in developing strategies to promote healthy social media use among young people. Overall, this study seeks to shed light on the complex relationship between social media and mental health in adolescents and to offer insights into potential ways to mitigate any negative effects. By gaining a better understanding of the role of social media in shaping the mental well-being of young individuals, this research aims to support the development of evidence-based interventions and guidelines to promote positive mental health outcomes in the digital age.
