摘要

目的:本研究旨在调查美国青少年使用社交媒体与抑郁之间的关系。材料与方法:本研究采用桌面方法学。案头研究指的是二手数据或不需要实地调查就能收集到的数据。案头调查基本上涉及从现有资源中收集数据,因此,与实地调查相比,案头调查通常被认为是一种成本较低的技术,因为主要费用是行政人员的时间、电话费和通讯录。因此,这项研究依赖于已经发表的研究、报告和统计数据。这些二手数据很容易通过在线期刊和图书馆获得。结果:研究发现,美国青少年使用社交媒体的人数迅速增长。大学生是这个国家使用互联网最多的群体。研究发现,使用社交媒体的频率较高会给个人带来负面影响。这些问题包括社会关系问题、学习成绩差和心理障碍。基于这些发现,我们得出结论,有必要识别并帮助受影响的青少年在使用社交媒体平台时进行适度和自我控制,以实现他们的人生目标。对理论、实践和政策的独特贡献:计划行为理论(TPB)和阿尔伯特·埃利斯的抑郁症认知理论可以用来锚定未来的研究。有必要在大学里与学生组织研讨会和会议,以强调过度使用社交媒体可能带来的危险,以及可以采取的措施来缓解这个问题。有必要规范可以通过大学计算机实验室访问的非学术内容,如色情和其他非教育材料。

Association between Social Media Usage and Depression among Teenagers in Unites States of America
Purpose: The study sought to investigate association between social media usage and depression among teenagers in Unites States of America. Materials and Methods: The study adopted a desktop methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library. Results: The study found that there has been a rapid growth in social media among teenagers in the states. University students are the highest users of internet in the country. Consuming social media at a higher rate was found to bring about   negative consequences on the individuals. These include problematic social relationships, poor academic performance and psychological disturbance. Based on the findings, it was concluded that there was need to identify and help the affected teenagers exercise moderation and self-control when using social media platform in order for them to achieve their lifetime goals. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and The Albert Ellis' Cognitive Theory of Depression may be used to anchor future studies. There is need to organize seminars and conferences in the colleges with students to highlight the possible dangers of excessive social media usage and the measures that can be taken to mitigate the problem. There is need to regulate the nonacademic content that can be accessed through college computer labs like pornography and other non-educational material.
