Frequent use of digital technologies is not directly related to higher stress. In fact, women who are heavy users of some social media report lower stress. However, social media use can increase users’ awareness of stressful events in others’ lives, and awareness of these events does lead to higher levels of stress. This is the ‘cost of caring.’

The Rise of E-Reading

... Students who have been in university for four years or more were observed to use digital media more intensively compared to those in earlier years. The literature notes that as students progress through university, their digital media usage increases, correlating with a tendency to engage more with university communities and integrate further into social media networks (Lenhart et al., 2010). This study aligns with earlier findings indicating an increase in digital media usage as class level rises. ...

The intrinsic connection between media use and anxiety may be attributed to: 1) receiving negative feedback or cyberbullying from peers; 2) becoming aware of stressful events happening in others' lives; 3) internalizing the pressure to maintain social network updates (Hampton, Rainie, Lu, Shin, & Purcell, 2015;Rose & Tynes, 2015;Valkenburg & Peter, 2009). Moreover, multitasking can adversely affect productivity, task completion, performance, and attention, thereby leading to feelings of guilt and a sense of worthlessness (Appelbaum, Marchionni, & Fernández, 2008). ...

Social Media and the Cost of Caring

... Ambiguous regulations, such as the OSA's vague "legal but harmful" provisions, exacerbate this issue, compelling individuals to conform to societal norms to navigate unclear boundaries (Huddy et al., 2008).

Social Media and the ‘Spiral of Silence’

... In today's digital age, museum education is undergoing unprecedented changes. With the continuous development of technology, it is becoming more and more common for art organisations to use digital technology or platforms to educate and interact (Lee, 2013 ) [25], which not only changes the way the public accesses and experiences art but also deeply affects their unique aesthetic experience. This has prompted this paper to examine the impact of digitisation on the aesthetic experience of the audience and especially its use and effectiveness in museum education. ...
