Real-Life Emotional Support, Social-Media-Based Emotional Support, and Loneliness Among US Adults: A Nationally Representative Study
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to compare the effects of real-life emotional support and social-media-based emotional support on loneliness among a nationally representative sample of US adults. Their findings indicate that low real-life emotional support is significantly associated with increased loneliness, while social-media-based emotional support shows a weaker and non-significant association. This suggests that real-life interactions are more effective in alleviating loneliness than support received through social media.
