Bright sides and dark sides: Unveiling the double-edged sword effects of social networks*

Xiaoguang Li et al.

Summary: Social networks have both positive and negative effects, with a focus on the positive effects in previous studies. This quantitative study investigates the multiple effects of social networks, including positive and negative instrumental and sentimental effects. The results show that positive effects dominated during the COVID-19 pandemic in China, and social networks significantly shape individual subjective well-being and social trust. Transmitting epidemic information and providing psychological comfort protect subjective well-being and enhance social trust, while spreading rumors and conveying negative emotions detriment subjective well-being and undermine social trust. Future research should pay attention to the double-edged sword effect of social networks to comprehensively understand their impact on individual well-being and life opportunities.

Chandrima Bhattacharya et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has not only impacted healthcare and the economy worldwide, but has also led to an infodemic on social media, causing panic among users in India.
