The current research examines the influence of social media on emotional well-being and consumption. It investigates the relationship between social media engagement and anxiety in young adults and explores the impact that social media engagement has on consumption--notably, behavior with the intent to mitigate anxiety. A model is tested with participants (n = 795) from the Gen Z and Millennial cohorts. The findings indicate that while having a sense of belonging is negatively related to anxiety, social media engagement and anxiety are positively associated.

Perfect: Being Judged on Social Media by Rosalind Gill explores the challenges of social media on the rising Gen Z generation of women. Gill highlights the pressure of taking and creating the "perfect picture" and the anticipation of peer feedback before a post is made. Also discussed is the immense toll of social media on mental health

Social media plays an integral role in Generation Z's lives. This platform is where they share their thoughts and seek recommendations while staying informed about current events. It serves as their primary outlet for these activities. As such, social media platforms significantly impact Gen Z’s communication, identity creation, and purchasing decisions

Both scientists and laypeople have become increasingly concerned about smartphones, especially their associated digital media (e.g., email, news, gaming, and dating apps) and social media (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat). Recent correlational research links substantial declines in Gen Z well-being to digital and social media use, yet other work suggests the effects are small and unnoteworthy. To help further disentangle correlation from causation, we conducted a

preregistered 8-day experimental deprivation study with Gen Z individuals (N = 338).

College students in Generation Z are among the most stressed of our time. Previous research suggests that current interventions on university campuses are primarily for students in crises, but supportive services like psychoeducation to introduce coping skills are scant. Interventions that take both financial and time pressures into account are needed to address the mental health challenges faced by students. This study is designed to determine the unique role of the arts as a proactive mental health strategy for college students.

Members of Generation Z — typically defined as those born from the mid-1990s to the early 2010s — have little to no memory of a life without smartphones or access to the internet, which is why they are often dubbed “digital natives.” They have also grown up in a world where social media, political polarization, racial unrest, school shootings and climate change are ever-present realities.
