"One of the most persistent arguments against social media is that it makes people unhappy. A 2017 paper entitled Association of Facebook Use with Compromised Well-Being: A Longitudinal Study found that Facebook interactions made people unhappier over time, while real-life interactions made them happier — but apart from that, the evidence for the psychological evils of social media isn’t that conclusive. Amy Orben, an experimental psychologist specialising in social media at Oxford University, believes fears are overplayed. ‘We’ve been researching this day-in, day-out for years and I think the striking thing is simply the lack of solid evidence we have at the moment,’ she says. ‘There seems to be a small negative effect on adolescent mental health — but it’s tiny. We can only actually predict about one per cent of someone’s wellbeing from social media. We need more nuanced evidence.’"
