新冠肺炎时代社交媒体消费、抑郁与孤独感的关系

巴基斯坦媒体对新冠肺炎的职能经历了一个欺骗的过程。广播中往往没有医学专家，也没有政治家和记者在COVID-19论坛上发言。这是一项定量调查研究，旨在调查拉合尔市使用社交媒体的市民中社交媒体消费抑郁与孤独感之间的关系。通过有目的抽样技术从巴基斯坦拉合尔市的500名受访者中收集了经验数据。采用SPSS=23进行描述性和推断性分析。从实证数据的发现来看，人们使用社交媒体来获取最新情况的更新，并与朋友联系。今天，社交媒体在社会活动中发挥着关键作用。数据显示，社交媒体消费与对Covid-19的认识以及提出的预防措施之间存在显著关系。此外，在这项研究的目标受访者中，社交媒体的使用与抑郁和孤独程度之间也存在显著的关系。

期刊介绍： Journal of Policy Research in Tourism, Leisure & Events provides a unique forum for critical discussion of public policy debates relating to the fields of tourism, leisure and events. This encompasses the economic, social, cultural, political and environmental dimensions of official intervention. In addition to high quality theoretical and empirical papers, the journal publishes contributions examining the value of contrasting methodologies, or advocacy of novel methods. Inter- and multi-disciplinary submissions are particularly welcome. In order to foster debate and extend the scope of discussion, it publishes shorter carefully argued position statements on specific, topical interventions in the Contemporary Policy Debates section. In addition, the journal’s novel Dialogues section involves ‘point/counter-point’ debates between contributors on a range of policy-related or policy research-related topics. These may interrogate key concepts from different cultural, theoretical or spatial perspectives, or discuss potential responses to a range of practical challenges involved in undertaking policy-related research in the fields of tourism, leisure and events. With a swiftly growing academic reputation, the journal is ‘B’ rated by the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC). It has received citations from a number of senior practitioners and influential bodies, including the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
