【题目】A new study has looked into whether social media makes users feel lonelier or if lonely people tend to turn toward social media more. It asked the question: Is it social media or social isolation(隔离)?
“ The social media craze (狂热)has helped some people but hurt some others in my opinion, ” development psychologist(心理学家) Stephanie Marcy with Children’s Hospital Los Angeles said.
Marcy was not surprised to learn that the more time young people spend on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other apps, the more they feel lonely. “Some people who are otherwise social beings are now relying too much on their screens and their iPads and their telephones and social media, ” Marcy explained. Experts said users can have thousands of followers, but that doesn’t mean they have somebody to call when they need a friend. “It’s sort of a false representation of having social connection. There are many people that have thousands of virtual(虚拟的) friends but don’t really have somebody to watch a movie with. That’s really quite sad as a social media leading to fewer friends, actually. ” Marcy said.
While the negative(负面的) influences of social media are often talked about, Marcy said it has helped some people,including those with anxiety, autism(自闭症) and physical limitations. “There needs to be a balance no matter what it is and with social media that completely applies, ” Marcy said.
The study doesn’t show whether people who are isolated are more likely to go online or whether seeing the pages of others makes people feel more disheartened.
