Der Einfluss sozialer Netzwerke auf Jugendliche : Auswirkungen auf psychische Gesundheit, schulische Leistungen und Beziehungen: eine globale Perspektive

This Master’s thesis examines the impact of social networks on youth, focusing on interpersonal relationships, study habits, academic achievement, and mental health. The study is based on survey data from 300 participants aged 13 to 25 and uses a mixed-methods approach. Findings indicate that excessive social media use is associated with reduced study time, lower objective academic performance, and higher anxiety, while active online communication reduces in-person social interaction. The study highlights the importance of media literacy programs, early support, and institutional awareness of the effects of digital routines on youths’ social and academic lives.
