Bad things happen to people who spend a lot of time on social media.
This is evidenced by the data of a scientific study. If briefly about the essence of the scientists' conclusion - such citizens become extremely irritable.
Experts studied data from a survey of more than 42,000 American adults.
The average age of these people was 46 years, the majority – 58.5% – were women.
All of these citizens also took a test for irritability, where the minimum level was 1 point, and the maximum was 30 points.
Almost 80% of respondents reported that they use at least one social network every day.
14.2% of respondents did this once a day, and 39.2% did this several times a day.
As it turned out, 24.9% of survey participants spent most of the day on social networks.
It turned out that the most active users had a 3.37 point higher irritability level than those who did not use social networks.
And the indicator for those who used them once a day was exceeded by 1.43 points.
Additionally, it was found that the more often a person posted information, rather than simply reading content, the more likely they were to be irritated.
And the highest level of irritability was recorded among social media users who are actively interested in politics.
