Produktbeschreibung
The Darker Side of Social Media: Consumer Psychology and Mental Health takes a research-based, scientific approach to examining problematic issues and outcomes that are related to social media use by consumers. Now in its second edition, it relies on psychological theories to help explain or predict problematic online behavior within the social media landscape through the lens of mental health.

With an aim to provide solutions, the authors spotlight the key issues affecting consumer well-being and mental health due to the omnipresence and overuse of social media. The book dissects the unintended consequences of too much social media use, specifying key problems like disconnection anxiety, eating disorders, online fraud, cyberbullying, the dark web, addiction, depression, self-discrepancies, and serious privacy concerns (especially impacting children or young people). The book grapples with mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression, self-harm, and eating disorders that can be intensified by, or correlated with, too much social media use. The authors meticulously review the various facets of the darker side of online presence and propose actionable solutions for each of the problems stated, providing scholars with a conceptual model with propositions for continued research.

This international exploration of social media is a must-read for students of marketing, advertising, and public relations, as well as scholars/managers of business, marketing, psychology, communication, management, and sociology. It will also be of interest to social media users, those navigating new media platforms parents, policymakers, and practitioners.

Rezensionen
"The list of troubling consequences associated with social media misuse (and abuse) has expanded, and their severity has grown. In response, Angeline Scheinbaum has assembled this new, and all together darker, compilation of chapters that aims to identify, understand, illuminate, and address the negative effects of social media, particularly on consumer well-being and mental health. Given the expanding nature of problems that are exacerbated through social media presence and usage, the book's focus on finding actionable solutions to these challenges is both valuable and timely."

-John Hulland, Professor, Department of Marketing, University of Georgia
