dc.description.abstractThis study investigated the interplay between anxiety, social media use, and political affiliation among 125 undergraduate psychology students. Using the GAD-7 anxiety scale, Social Media Use Scale, and the Ideological Consistency Scale, we explored the relationships between these variables. Results revealed a moderate positive correlation between anxiety levels and social media use. Contrary to our initial hypothesis, political affiliation had no effect on the other variables. These findings contribute to our understanding of the complex interactions between psychological well-being, digital media consumption, and political perspectives.
