H4a Likes, Shares, and Financial Fears: Exploring the Link Between Social Media Use and Financial Anxiety
Short Description
With the rise of social media and a growing interest in how it is related to mental health, it is becoming increasingly important to consider the relationship between social media and financial mental health. As regulators consider policy for social media in order to mitigate its potential negative impacts on adolescent mental health, often the element of financial mental health is overlooked. This study looks to better address this gap in research by exploring the association between social media and financial anxiety. By using data from the National Financial Capability Study, this project will explore how social media and other factors are related to financial anxiety and make recommendations for future research and potential regulation.
