According to cmswire, we are addicted to social media because of psychology. As Dr. Pamela Rutledge explains, social validation is an important factor in human nature because it affirms our existence. Thus”it’s not how social media works that drives people to use it how they do- it’s people who are driving how social media works for us”.
Why are We So Addicted to Social Medias?
You are planning to get some work done, or do something as simple as sleep when you decide it would be best to check your phone first before doing so. You start off by maybe checking your texts or emails, and then you decide to check your social medias such as Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook. And before you know it, you have refreshed each social medias’ newsfeed at least three times, and it has been over an hour since you started. This scenario is a familiar one for this generation (especially to us procrastinators), as we are practically glued to our phones on a daily basis. I feel the biggest culprit of this is not the phone itself, but the social medias that are downloaded onto our phones, which causes us mindless hours of staring at a screen. Is it just because we are hiding from the world and living through our phones, or is there a more scientific reason behind it?
Social media addiction is a behavioral addiction characterized as being overly concerned about social media and driven by an uncontrollable urge to log on to or use social media. Social media addicts spend so much time on their social apps that it impairs other important life areas.
Social media platforms such as Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram produce the same neural circuitry caused by gambling and recreational drugs. A constant stream of retweets, likes, and shares affects the brain's reward area and triggers the same kind of chemical reaction as other drugs, such as cocaine. Some neuroscientists have compared social media interaction to a syringe of dopamine being injected straight into the system.
