a research team studying the effects of social media on mental health

@BarichGrant We do believe that the route we took was successful & led to significant results; any other limitations were minor.

1/10 Our research team wanted to explore the interactions between social media & mental health, specifically those that are derived from the participation & consumption of social media content on Instagram. #COMference297 #mentalhealth #socialmedia #Instagram #collegestudents

@BarichGrant Another limitation occurred during archival collection when we took the first 30 posts in the top category of our chosen Instagram hashtags. If we had hand-picked the posts, there would not have been as many non-related/non-applicable posts which could have strengthened results.

@ISU_COMference Our survey used convenience and snowball sampling of college students that we reached through word of mouth and social media. One of the questions asked: "How many hours do you spend on Instagram daily?" High usage was determined to be participants who responded "1-3+ hours."

10/10 After identifying our results about users’ anxiety on Instagram, we expect an increase in interpretive and critical research in this area. It is essential to understand some potential primary causes that trigger these episodes among college age students. #COMference297

9/10 Limitations of our research: 1: lack of detailed captions on social media posts affected thematic analysis. 2: the implicit algorithmic feed Instagram uses affected content analysis. 3: limited survey data pooled from ISU affected statistical analysis. #COMference297

The Illinois attorney general has ruled the Town of @NormalILL should not have barred citizen comment on an issue back in 2019. It's the second such ruling in a month. https://t.co/P8HEWj0xts
