I am a student at The Chicago School. This study is being conducted as a part of my dissertation requirement for PsyD Clinical Psychology.

I am asking you to participate in a research study about to determine if relationships exist between the use social media, psychological health, and social interactions of late adolescent and emerging adults. You will be asked to complete surveys through google forms.

Given that research frequently focuses on school-age children and adults over the age of 30, it is critical to understand the effects social media on growth and development of individuals between the ages of 18 and 25, as these years are pivotal for brain development.
