This research was conducted to investigate the pervasive influence of Instagram usage among young adults aged 17-22, particularly focusing on its impact on anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. The rationale for this study stems from the growing concern about the psychological effects of prolonged exposure to idealized images and lifestyles presented on social media. Utilizing a comprehensive survey methodology, data was collected from a diverse sample of young adults. The results reveal that 95.2% of participants use Instagram daily, with nearly half spending over four hours on the platform each day. The study highlights significant mental health repercussions, with 70% of respondents reporting feelings of anxiety, depression, and inadequacy attributed to their Instagram use. These findings underscore the critical need for interventions to mitigate the negative impact of Instagram on mental health and to promote healthier online behaviors and interactions. The implications of this research are far-reaching, suggesting that both individual users and social media platforms must take proactive steps to foster digital environments that support mental well-being and reduce the psychological burden on young adults.\u0000","PeriodicalId":216612,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Applied Psychology","volume":" 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141833213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Women of Trachis Jealousy, Hatred and Revenge in Sophocles' Tragedy Intrafamilial Marriage and the Husbands' Widow's Wills the Famous Oracle","authors":"Rolf Tiedemann","doi":"10.11648/j.ajap.20241301.12","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.11648/j.ajap.20241301.12","url":null,"abstract":"In this tragedy by Sophocles, the real theme is the treatment of \"prey women\" and their influence on the psychological family situation and society in classical Athens. \"The Women of Trachis\" as well as \"Oedipus Rex\" and \"Oedipus on Colonus\" show what an enormously perceptive, in today's terms, psychologist and sociologist Sophocles was. In the fifth century BC, many wars were waged in Greece and prisoners were turned into slaves. Classical Greece thrived on slavery, which also included so-called prey woman. In The Women of Trachis Sophocles describes the jealousy of a wife, with the resulting actions, when the marriage is overstretched and the jealousy is increased through corresponding insults (over the decades). How hatred and revenge then gain the upper hand, ultimately leading to death. The intra-family marriage policy in Athens, which often leads to emotional and social unhappiness, is also a clear theme in the \"Women of Trachis\", long before Sophocles' two Oedipus tragedies. In his tragedies, Sophocles dealt with sociological themes and human suffering. The poets changed the mythology according to the requirements of their desired intention of the tragedy. The transformation of the myth consists in its integration into the polis and its new reference systems. The fact that the tragic poet sets the problems of his time in a past contributes to the possibility of the tragedy's reception. In the tragedies Oedipus Rex and Oedipus at Colonus, for example, a reference to the social reality in Athens at the time is assumed. The tragedies that were performed at the Dionysia (festival) are characterized by an interpenetration of present and past. Tragedies were organized as competitions, so that the poets had to take the audience's sensitivities into account. Classical philologists are often prevented from producing realistic text analyses and interpretations by idealizing and glorifying Greek tragedies and thus not taking into account the social customs and laws of the time. If we think, that the Greeks had no interest in such a psychological process as how a decision comes about, we are seriously mistaken and we do not do justice to the great, psychologically astute tragedians. Without a sociological, psychological and medical approach, applied to the tragedies that contain such themes in Sophocles and also Euripides in excellent execution, we will not do justice to these brilliant poets. We are left with interpretations without a sociological and psychological understanding of Greek classicism.","PeriodicalId":216612,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Applied Psychology","volume":"5 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140442224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
