dc.description.abstract |
This study examines the effect of the modern technology of social media on psychological stress during
Irish COVID-19 quarantine restrictions. Literature indicates mixed findings regarding social media
usage and psychological stress. Acknowledging its multifaceted nature, social media use in this study
is examined through the category usage motivators of consuming, participating, and producing. Usage
motivators significantly indicate variations in terms of impact on stress. Social media use for the purpose
of consuming is moderately correlated with increased levels of psychological stress. Social media use for
the purpose of participating exhibits a weak correlation with decreasing levels of psychological stress.
Social media use for the purpose of producing exhibits no significant relationship with psychological
stress during quarantine. Findings of this study are valuable for government and corporate policy makers
and mental health and marketing professionals, with implications in psychological wellbeing practices
and mindful social media use during quarantine. |
