Introduction

As a student, I am excited to participate in a research project led by my導師. The project aims to investigate the effects of social media use on mental health and well-being. With the increasing popularity of social media, it has become a common topic of discussion among students and professionals. This project will provide me with an opportunity to contribute to the field and gain valuable experience.

Research Background

Social media has become an integral part of our daily lives. With the rapid growth of the internet and the development of technology, social media has become an essential tool for communication, entertainment, and social interaction. However, the excessive use of social media has been linked to various negative effects, such as cyberbullying, addiction, and mental health problems.

The effects of social media use on mental health have been studied extensively. Studies have shown that social media use can lead to increased anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Additionally, social media use has been linked to increased risk of addiction. Many people who use social media regularly struggle to resist the temptation to use it more frequently.

Research Questions

The main research question of this project is: How does the use of social media affect mental health and well-being? The specific research questions include:

1. What is the relationship between social media use and mental health problems, such as anxiety and depression?
2. What are the factors that contribute to the excessive use of social media and the risk of mental health problems?
3. How can social media use be improved to reduce the risk of mental health problems?

Research Methods

This project will be conducted using a qualitative research approach. Qualitative research is a type of research that focuses on exploring the meaning and experiences of individuals or groups. In this project, we will use purposive sampling to select participants who are interested in the topic of social media use and mental health.

Data will be collected through in-depth interviews with participants who have used social media regularly and have experienced mental health problems. We will also collect data through observation of social media use among participants.

Results

The results of this project will provide valuable insights into the effects of social media use on mental health and well-being. We expect to identify factors that contribute to the excessive use of social media and the risk of mental health problems. Additionally, we expect to identify ways to improve social media use to reduce the risk of mental health problems.

Conclusion

participation in this research project has been an exciting and rewarding experience. By participating in this project, I have gained valuable knowledge and skills in research, and I have also gained insight into the effects of social media use on mental health and well-being. I am confident that the results of this project will provide valuable insights into the topic and will contribute to the field of social media and mental health.
