RESEARCH PAPER GUIDE Professor: Alma Carpio Name: Jennifer Vazquez Date: 08/05/2018 Exercise 1.1: Discovering the Subject of Your Interest or Issue of Inquiry Social media can be an important tool; but, research has shown that it leads to some negative emotions as well. I have personally been affected by these negative thoughts and feelings as have some of my friends and family. I am interested to find out if it goes beyond those negative emotions and causes depression or suicidal ideation. My interest in this subject comes from the widespread use of social media with youth and high depression rates among the same age range. It is interesting to see if one causes the other, or if they truly correlate without causation. Some of the components that are important to this research initiative would be usage of social media. Does more time spent on social media translate to higher rates of depression? Through my research, it would be important to note the effects across different age groups and how big of an effect social media truly has on depression rates. That brings up another component that would be of interest: severity. Would the depression go beyond a minor ailment and cause suicide? I became curious about this question after realizing that my negative experiences with social media were not just relevant to me; it affects many users. Exercise 1.2: Understanding the Personal Viewpoint 1 RESEARCH PAPER GUIDE 2 My previous knowledge is primarily personal. I have experience with the situation, because I have experienced it firsthand. As far as research knowledge goes, I have little. I know that research has shown that social media can lead to some negative emotions and can cause issues with self-esteem (CBHS, 2017). I also have knowledge on different social media platforms and know people who use these services at different rates. Some use social media frequently while others tend to use it on an as-needed basis. Having personally gone through some negative emotions while using social media, including issues with self-esteem, it is easy to see how someone could become depressed. I felt like I was comparing myself to all the people I saw on social media. Everyone seemed like they were having a great time in life—always happy. But I wasn’t always happy. So, I felt worthless; feeling like I had to work all the time and never had time to enjoy the things other people were doing, like taking vacations or spending time with family. This has influenced me to research this issue because I want to know if the issues I have could get worse with prolonged use of social media. Could we just be seeing the beginning of a terrible trend? Although I have some personal experience, I do not have enough to be biased in the research. It is my opinion that social media does cause some severity of depression. But, my view will not get the way of a fair and unbiased study. Exercise 1.3: Selecting the Focus of Your Study For this study I am going to be focusing on individuals. Depression is an individual experience and so is social media. Both are done alone, so they should be studied as such. I plan to study a wide range of age groups and socioeconomic levels and I’ll take into consideration the RESEARCH PAPER GUIDE 3 amount of time spent utilizing social media functions. So, I will research both newer users of social media and people who have been using the services for a long amount of time. My interest in the subject comes from young adults, so if I need to narrow my scope, I can focus on that primary age group. This group has high usage of social media and high rates of suicide and depression. Also, it may need to be mentioned that this study, although focused on social media, also needs to include a ‘control’ group that does not use social media. It is important to have something in which to compare the research of depressed social-media users. Exercise 1.5: Developing Your Interest Statement The focus of this study is the response of an individual to social media exposure. I will be looking primarily at the negative emotional response experienced by some users, and I will connect it to depression and potential suicide risk. To perform this research I will be pulling from psychological studies that include both severity of depression in relation to suicidal ideation and social media’s relation to depression. To remain unbiased in this research, I will also present opposing viewpoints. There are studies that show how social media can reduce depression, so it would be important to evaluate those resources throughout this process as well. The Huffington Post’s article entitled How Social Media Helped Me Fight Depression, is just one piece of evidence to support my opposition. This resource is a personal plea, and I plan to use first person resources as emotional interest in my study. Since this topic is so emotional and personal based, it is important to not only focus on the cold-hard facts, but on the emotional journeys of individuals as well. Research and Null Hypothesis: RESEARCH PAPER GUIDE 4 My research question is: Does increased social media use have a corresponding effect on depression rates among those who use it; and, does severity of depression increase as usage increases, leading to suicidal ideation? My null hypothesis is: Depression rates rise in correspondence with social media usage and increased usage leads to worse depression and potential suicide.

Some of the frequently used platforms include Yo uTube, Instagram, Snapchat and Facebook (Brooks, 2013). With the advancement of technology, approximately 80% of people globally have access to smartphones which makes it easy for them to access social media platforms. Despite all the positive impact social media has brought, it’s arguably true that it has brought negative emotions to its users (Brooks, 2013). As depicted below is a case study of whether an increase use of social media has a resultant effect on the rates of depression among those who use it. Body Depression is an emotional discomfort that is correspondent from social media usage and to some extend it leads to potential cases of suicide. Exploring the darker side of social media, you will be astonished to learn that young adults aged 13-17 are at high risk of suicide ideation as a result of increased depression rate. The use of social media by young people has a negative impact on their mental health (Brooks, 2013). Ethical issues Negative effects of social media includes; Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), is a phenomenon that suggest that an individual born at the era of social media platform should have access to at least two or three different accounts so as not to “miss out” (Gibson, 2016). Social media has become an integral part of people life. Fear of Missing Out is a negative emotional state which involves behavior, physiological appearance and thoughts of the affected individual. Negative effects of social media 3 Another negative effect of social media is anxiety and depression. Research shows that young people aged 13-18 years spends more than 3 hours on social media per day which put them at high risk of poor mental health disease such as psychological distress (Gibson, 2016). Spending too long on social media platforms could affect your mood. Moods can be caused by social media envy. Platforms such as Facebook or Instagram are full of family and friends posting new pictures and updating their status (Gibson, 2016). We may at one point felt jealous or have envied our friends who had many likes and many friends than you had. Suicidal ideation The feeling of envy many at times brought about the idea of suicide, since one fills that he/she is alone and no one carry for him. Suicidal ideation for the young adults is mostly as a result of cyber bulling. Cyber bulling often leaves deep mental scars to those affect and easily drives them to commit suicide. Age group using social media Young adults portrays the age affected by the use of social media. A research carried out showed individual between the ages 13 to 24 years have been negatively affected by the use of social media. The most used Social media account by young adults is the snapchat and instagram with approximately 71% visit the accounts multiple times. Social media addition is among the waste effect of social media which will not only ruin you sleeping pattern but also cause general addiction to social networks. Too much time spent on social media causes an individual to have trouble while sleeping. Root of speeding much time on social networks could be as a result of addiction. When a person is addicted to social media usage, he/she will constantly be looking at their social media accounts. Negative effects of social media 4 Potential bias of social media Social media has some biases and misinformation infect which at times are accidental or intentional to the users. Such bias includes; (1) Bias in the brain, mental biases instigate in the way the brain processes data and information that we encounter in our daily chaos. Curiosity can be triggered by trend of fake news on social media and cause distress (IGI Global, 2018). (2) Bias in society, when people want to connect in the social media, they use social biases to guide their selection of friends. Ethical standards arising from social media usage have a potential revolution on mobile health applications, healthcare and global health. Ethical standards emphasis on the positive impact of social media to help mitigate and navigate away all the negative emotions associated with social media (IGI Global, 2018).
