@henkel_alexa Opening my eyes to the theories and psychology behind our media consumption has increased my attempts to avoid conforming to potential filter bubbles. Making a conscious effort to break these has been a priority of mine!

@baileeo01 Because of this course and the others that coincide with the IMSC major, I have become more aware of my digital footprint than ever. I consistently monitor and analyze the media I post and consume.

@nathanielhoeye Seeing why users choose the platforms they do shapes my understanding of uses, gratification, and agenda-setting theory. If media professionals grasp the processes behind these theories, they will be successful.

Social media has been a significant part of my life for years, and this class helped expand my understanding of the psychology regarding how and why we use the platforms we do. #450SocialSP24

Gerson's "how" of breaking up reminded me of a married couple who met via FB group. The two DMed for a year before meeting in person and got engaged the day they did. The data posted by NIH shows the psychology behind online relationships. #450SocialSP24 https://t.co/D0r1ZCVWSv

2/ This type of power fosters unrealistic ideas, which impacts mental health. I found an article on Medium’s site that expands on negative expectations set by social media. #450SocialSP24 @Cmoore1970

1/ Lines between interpersonal and mass communication are blurred. The lack of clarity impacted social media by placing the authenticity of users in question. Having the freedom to hide behind a screen allows us to control the views of others. #450SocialSP24 @Cmoore1970
