Description
Ziyu Liu and Liyao Xiao surveyed college students about scrolling through social media in a 2024 study. Just browsing posts without posting, called passive use, has been tied to lower well-being. The team looked at the role of comparing oneself with others, which can cut in several directions.
The survey covered 352 students who use a popular Chinese app. Students who scrolled more tended to compare upward and feel worse, or to compare downward in a way that also felt bad. Feeling worse followed both of those paths. Students with a strong habit of comparing themselves with others felt the harm of upward comparison even more. The study used a two-stage method that pairs a standard model with a neural network. The findings suggest that how a student compares matters as much as how long they scroll.
