Abstract

This research will assess the levels of life uncertainty and anxiety in young adults. It will do so using the social media app Instagram, where we will observe and record whether or not someone has a college and graduation year in their bio to measure life uncertainty, as well as how many followers someone has to measure anxiety. The purpose of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of anxiety in college students and what causes it, with the expected outcome that those with their college and graduation year in the bio (no life uncertainty) will have a higher number of followers (less anxiety).
