Social Media Studies is an academic field that examines the impact of social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, on society. Researchers analyze how these platforms influence communication, relationships, and public opinion. They also explore the effects of social media on mental health and self-esteem, particularly among younger users. This field encompasses various disciplines, including sociology, psychology, and communication studies. Scholars use both qualitative and quantitative methods to gather data, often focusing on user behavior, content trends, and the role of algorithms. The findings help inform policies and practices related to digital communication and online interactions.
