Article Synopsis
- Active social media use (ASMU) has mixed effects on loneliness, potentially decreasing it through enhanced interpersonal satisfaction while also increasing feelings of fear of missing out (FoMO), which can lead to increased loneliness.
- Data from 454 college students in China revealed that ASMU positively correlates with relationship satisfaction, which subsequently decreases loneliness but is complicated by the influence of FoMO.
- The study suggests a dual impact of ASMU, highlighting the importance of understanding both the positive and negative aspects of social media to promote its benefits while mitigating its downsides on well-being.
