Dr. Corey Emanuel: 社交媒体对心理健康的影响是复杂的,既有积极方面,也有消极方面。过度使用社交媒体或接触负面内容会导致注意力持续时间缩短,记忆力减退,认知发展受损,并增加压力、焦虑和抑郁的风险。网络欺凌、网络跟踪和寄生式关系等负面社交媒体互动也会对心理健康造成严重损害。 为了维护心理健康,建议用户诚实评估自己的社交媒体使用情况,注意使用前后情绪变化,并在必要时寻求专业人士的帮助,以建立与数字生活健康的平衡关系。 Dr. Corey Emanuel: 大量研究表明,社交媒体平台的设计旨在吸引和保持用户的注意力,通过持续不断的通知、更新和多媒体内容来实现。这种持续不断的刺激会分散注意力,导致难以集中精力完成需要长时间专注的任务,例如阅读、写作或完成工作。此外,社交媒体的即时满足感和新奇性会降低我们持续关注长时间任务的能力,并可能导致对即时奖励的依赖,从而影响深度学习和批判性思维能力。社交媒体信息过载也会影响认知资源,导致信息处理和记忆困难。 为了减轻这些负面影响,建议用户制定策略来减少中断,例如设置专门的学习或工作时间,避免社交媒体干扰。
