Abstract

As social media has become commonplace, and influences thoughts and behaviors, one cannot help but wonder how social media causes shifts in the brain, specifically regarding mindset and emotions. This research paper was conducted to gather information on how different social media applications result in different emotions and behaviors. A survey that included 30 questions was conducted with a wide demographic of 95 participants, between the ages of 14 to 56. The survey evaluated how participants felt on a scale from 1 to 10 after using five social media websites: Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter (X), and TikTok. This paper analyzes the data collected and compares how different social media applications contribute to forming different feelings. By examining the results from a wide perspective, the research suggests how to make negative emotions that stem from social media less prominent. The goal is to inform the public of better ways to use social media applications for overall well-being.
