CHAPTER -3 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
CHAPTER -4 RESULT & DISCUSSION Social media is here to stay and its impact on adolescent development cannot be denied. It is therefore wise to increase awareness of how to safely use social media and take advantage of it as a resource to promote healthy development. Social media use has important effects upon the normal process of adolescent development. A growing body of research addresses social media’s effects upon adolescent friendships, identities, cognitive growth, and health. One question that is raised is how social media may affect the traditional family. Do youths continue to consider parents as primary role models, or are they influenced by the online presence of peers? Additionally, how has social media affected the process of friendship formation and conflict resolution? We also propose further investigation of the association between social media use and psychiatric illnesses. Negative status updates have been associated with depressive symptoms and can be used to identify at-risk adolescents. How can this be further developed to decrease suicide risk and identify budding psychiatric disorders As the Internet generation born in the 80s to 90s enters adulthood, we will begin to see social media’s impact on adult functioning. Longitudinal studies will be useful to follow teens into adulthood. How may social media alter adolescents’ future family and romantic relationships? Does adolescent social media use impact adult rates of substance abuse, obesity, suicide, depression, and anxiety? We can also measure the associations between adolescent social media use and career productivity. Exploring these questions may provide important insights.
