Abstract
- The overuse of social media as a means of interacting with other people during COVID-19 could have negative consequences for mental health in people with certain coping styles. The objective of this research was to analyze the relationship between coping, frequency of use of social networks and levels of anxiety and depression in young adults during COVID-19. An experiment was carried out in which 643 subjects participated who completed questionnaires of coping (Coping with Stress Questionnaire; SCQ), anxiety (Beck Anxiety Inventory; BAI) and depression (Beck Depression Inventory; BDI-IA). In addition, measurements were taken of the frequency of use of social networks (F-RS: 1 hour or less, 2-3 hours, 4-5 hours, more than 5 hours). The subjects who used social networks more frequently (> 5 hours vs <5 hours) had higher levels of anxiety, depression, negative self-focus, open emotional expression, and search for social support. On the other hand, the F-RS mediated the relationship between coping (negative self-focus, open emotional expression, avoidance, seeking social support) and levels of anxiety and depression. These results warn of the negative mediating role of the overuse of social networks in emergency situations on mental health, and provide relevant information to establish strategies that allow to regulate the affective intensity of the population and improve adherence to preventive measures.
