Impact of Online Content on Mental Health

We are working on a project that aims to give users more control over the content they see online. Specifically, we are exploring tools that can filter content that may be harmful or distressing—if the user chooses to use them.

The purpose of this survey is to better understand why certain types of online content have a negative impact on people and how such experiences affect their well-being. Your answers will help us design solutions that make browsing the internet safer and more comfortable.

Participation is voluntary, and your responses will remain anonymous.

This survey contains 7 questions and should not take more than 5 minutes.

4.What negative emotions have you usually experienced due to online content? (Select all that apply)(Required.)
5.How strongly do you usually feel these negative emotions?(Required.)
6.Do you think an application that lets users decide which types of content to automatically blur would make browsing the internet safer for your mental health?(Required.)
7.Please describe any other ways you think online platforms could help reduce the impact of harmful content on mental health.
