For my research proposal I decided to look into the possible correlation between social media usage and negative mental health symptoms in young adults. Due to the fast paced growth of technology and social media, access to the Internet is widespread across the globe. Technology is being used in every aspect of our lives and while it comes with its benefits, researchers have started to look into the potential negative consequences that may be related to excessive technology use. In my proposal I look at similar studies from the past decade to develop a research proposal to potentially show how social media and excessive technology use can be correlated with negative mental health symptoms.
