最新研究发现，社交媒体与孤独和抑郁有关 [美国媒体]

Social media use has once again been linked to loneliness and depression. Research has been hinting at the connection for several years, but scientists from the University of Pennsylvania say that this new study is the most comprehensive and rigorous to date.

社交媒体的使用再次与孤独和抑郁联系在一起。多年来，研究一直暗示着存在这种联系，但是宾夕法尼亚大学的科学家们说，这项新的研究是迄今为止最全面和最严谨的。



Published in the Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology, the most recent study linking poor mental health conditions to social media use has added even more evidence to back up the theory. The researchers from the University of Pennsylvania intentionally designed their experiment to be more comprehensive than previous studies on the topic. Rather than relying on short-term lab data or self-reported questionnaires, they recruited 143 undergraduate students to share screenshots of their Phone battery screens over a week to collect data on how much they were using social media apps including Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram.

发表在《社会和临床心理学杂志》上的最新研究发现，将糟糕的心理健康状况与社交媒体的使用联系起来，为支持这一理论提供了更多的证据。宾夕法尼亚大学的研究人员有意地将他们的实验设计得比以前关于这个主题的研究更全面。他们不是依靠短期的实验室数据或自我报告的调查问卷，而是招募了143名本科生分享在一周内手机电池屏幕的截图，以收集他们在多大程度上使用社交媒体应用程序的数据，包括Facebook、Snapchat和Instagram。



According to an in-depth report on the study done by This Insider, subjects of the study were told either to maintain their typical social media behavior or limit it to 10 minutes per day. Alongside the screenshot data, the researchers also looked at how much the participants experienced fear of missing out, anxiety, depression, and loneliness.

根据该内部人士的一份深入调查报告，研究对象被告知保持他们典型的社交媒体行为，或者将其限制在每天10分钟。在截图数据的同时，研究人员还观察了参与者对遗憾、焦虑、抑郁和孤独的程度。

“Here’s the bottom line,” said Melissa G. Hunt, a psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania and lead author of the study.

“这是底线，”宾夕法尼亚大学心理学家、这项研究的主要作者梅丽莎·G·亨特说。



“This is especially so in those with low self-esteem.”

"尤其是那些缺乏自信的人。"

There are definitely physical and mental health benefits to a technology detox. The results suggest social media and screens should both be used in moderation; just like most things.

戒除科技成瘾肯定对身心健康有好处。结果表明，社交媒体和屏幕都应该适度使用，就像大多数事情一样。

“When you’re not busy getting sucked into clickbait social media, you’re actually spending more time on things that are more likely to make you feel better about your life,” Hunt said.

亨特说：“当你不再忙于沉迷点击社交媒体时，你实际上是把更多的时间花在那些能让你对生活感觉更好的事情上。”

“In general, I would say, put your phone down and be with the people in your life.”

"总的来说，我会说，放下你的手机，和你生活中的人在一起。"


WTFUD
You can't help but witness folks at a sporting event or show, fixated on their mobile phones, only looking up and waving when the tv camera spotlights them/their group. Sad!

你不得不在体育赛事或节目上看到人们盯着他们的手机，只有当电视摄像机对着他们/他们的团队时，他们才抬起头挥手。悲哀。



So I don't really hate Facebook, and find most of my Facebook "friends" either valuable or inoffensive.

所以我并不真的讨厌Facebook，我也发现我的大部分脸谱网“朋友”既有价值也不讨厌。

You sound like a really sweet person. I'm glad FB has worked out for you. You are the rare example. But maybe you deserve it. :)

你听起来像个很贴心的人。我很高兴FB帮你解决了问题。你是罕见的例子。但也许这是你应得的。

On the other hand when we watch TV, or listen to the radio they're constantly telling us about the exciting rich lives of celebrities, and how their income is $20,000 per minute. So basically you can't really get away from it unless you just turn everything off, For me I observe the hollow meaningless lives of celebrities, plagued by a lifetime of acting (pretending) and rarely actually just being themselves.

另一方面，当我们看电视或听收音机时，他们不断地告诉我们名人令人兴奋的富裕生活，以及他们每分钟收入20000美元。所以，基本上除非你把所有的东西都关掉，否则你不可能真正摆脱它。我强烈鼓励这样做。对我来说，我看到的是名人的空洞无意义的生活，一生都在演戏(假装).

I no longer maintain any social media pages, I can't stand to look at what people have become as a result of it. Vapid, narcissistic NPC's roaming the earth taking pictures of pointless **** to one up their friends in an endless window dressing contest.

我不再保留任何社交媒体页面，我无法忍受人们因为社交媒体而变成的样子。无聊的，自恋的NPC在地球上游走，拍摄无意义的照片，让他们的朋友在无休止的化妆比赛中。

Its much worse than that, they attach a special tracking bit in your every packet from your phone. All cell phones do this now pretty much.

更糟糕的是，他们在你的手机上的每个数据包中都有一个特殊的定位程序。现在所有的手机都能做到这一点。我不知道他们为什么要这么做，谁付的钱？

All information tech destroys perception of reality and makes you disconected from people.

所有的信息技术都会破坏对现实的感知，使你与人产生疏离。

Yep it was bound to happen. We are social creatureswho need to be around real people.

是的，一定会发生的。我们是社会生物，需要和真实的人在一起。

Nope, I can sit down, scroll through articles, scroll through comments...have a laugh or two...and get up and turn off the computer. Don't think about ZH after that point. Enjoy my day with other people and doing things outside.

不。我可以坐下来，翻阅文章，翻阅评论，笑一两下，站起来关掉电脑。那之后别再想社交媒体了。和其他人一起享受我的一天，在外面做一些事情。

That's healthy, thumbs-up. But, my point is valid, this is a form of social media so you do engage with it..

这是健康的，给你竖大拇指。但是，我的观点是正确的，这是社交媒体的一种形式，所以你确实参与了它。

That's true, but, the unnatural world we "live" in today is very conducive to a superficial, empty existence.All of the 1950's-1980's Sci-Fi is now reality.

这是真的，但是，我们今天生活的非自然世界很有利于肤浅空虚的存在。20世纪50年代至80年代的科幻小说都已成为现实。
