A study by researchers at the Karolinska Institute and the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, involving more than 4,000 teenagers with an average age of 14 from 21 schools in Norway, found that comparing oneself with others on social media is more strongly associated with symptoms of social anxiety and depression than using the platforms to pass the time. Exposure to bullying and ridicule was also linked to these symptoms, though less strongly than social comparison, and the findings applied to both girls and boys. The researchers urged parents, schools and professionals to pay attention to how teenagers use these platforms and to offer unconditional psychological support, while encouraging them to treat comparisons as a source of inspiration and motivation rather than discouragement.
