Some have argued that elevated levels of anxiety and depression among Generation Z can be accounted for, at least in part, by frequent social media use. Indeed, there is burgeoning interest among psychological scientists and the general public to better understand links between social media use and downstream effects on mental and physical health.4:45 pm – 5:45 pm EST/GMT-5
To foster continued conversation surrounding these issues, this forum is intended for Bard students to share their own experiences using popular social media platforms (e.g., Snapchat and Instagram) and discuss ways in which social media use carries both benefits and risks to health and well-being.
