“…This paradox of connectivity and disruption is illuminated by recent research, which suggests that increased immersion in social media corresponds with declining satisfaction in romantic affiliations (Kirezli & Aydin, 2022;Akbari et al, 2022). Specifically, problems arise when social media catalyzes jealousy, suspicion, and even deception, resulting in palpable relational discord and dissatisfaction amongst couples (Scott et al, 2022;Aslan & Tolan, 2022). Furthermore, the omnipresence of online alternatives creates a new frontier of temptation, diverting emotional investments away from primary relationships, leading to potential physical and emotional infidelity amongst individuals ranging from 18 to 73 years (Shin et al, 2023;Logan, 2019).…”

In the current socio-digital epoch, the intricate interplay between social media addiction and its potential ramifications on romantic relationships remains largely enigmatic, especially within specific demographic subsets. This study aims to elucidate the repercussions of social media addiction on love relationship closeness and satisfaction among Chinese undergraduates. A cohort of 583 Chinese undergraduates was meticulously analyzed, encompassing an almost equal gender distribution and spanning across diverse academic ranks and relationship durations. Utilizing the "Social Media Addiction Scale - Adult Form (SMAS-AF)" and validated scales for assessing relationship intimacy and satisfaction, the research painted a multifaceted picture. Findings revealed a high inclination towards social media addiction (X=4.20), with specific aspects of engagement demonstrating profound agreement among participants. An analytic exploration of the addiction demonstrated a pronounced influence on cognitive faculties and emotional regulation while revealing less consistent challenges in curtailing usage. In the romantic realm, while relationship closeness yielded a moderate mean score of 3.38, love relationship satisfaction signaled a moderate-to-high satisfaction degree (X=3.83). Interestingly, while gender and academic progression remained non-determinants for addiction levels, relationship length emerged as a significant variable. Correlational analyses showcased a stark negative association between social media addiction and relationship closeness (r= -.491) but, surprisingly, a positive correlation with relationship satisfaction (r= .129). Such dichotomous outcomes advocate for deeper investigation, perhaps suggesting a paradigm wherein intensified digital engagement might enhance superficial relationship contentment at the potential cost of depth and closeness.

Background With the broad recognition of increased U.S. opioid overdose (OOD) rates between 2020 and 2021, media, public health, and healthcare organizations have raised significant concerns over the emergence of a simultaneous COVID-19-opioid "twindemic. " Research in this area has explored the possible relationships between negative externalities associated with the pandemic and/or COVID-19 public health interventions and increased risks for opioid use and overdose alongside diminished outcomes following OOD events. MethodsThe study offers a summative content analysis of Emergency Medical Service (EMS) responses to opioid overdose (OOD) events before and after the institution of COVID-19 restrictions. Specifically, the study investigates three Texas counties to evaluate changing OOD rates, patient demographics, and OOD event features. The analysis uses a previously validated machine learning tool to identify OOD events and conducted a summative content analysis of identified events. ResultsA total of 1170 OOD responses events were identified in the three-county dataset. This includes 874 in Travis County, 242 in El Paso County, and 54 in Williamson County. Each county experienced modest changes in EMS calls for OOD events between the pre-restriction and public health restriction time periods. Travis County's OOD event rate declined from 454 to 420. El Paso's increased from 103 to 139, and Williamson County's increased from 23 to 31. These changes were not significant as percentage of possible OOD events or based on by-month comparison. The notable differences between pre-restriction and public health restriction periods were significant decreases in documentation of patient race/ethnicity in Travis and Williamson Counties, significant decreases in housing insecurity and use alone in Travis County, and an increase in transport refusal after treatment in the field in Travis County. ConclusionsUltimately the results presented here problematize prevailing analyses about the so-called opioid-COVID-19 "twindemic. " The data further support emerging trends about substantial geographic variation and show some ways that COVID-19 mitigation measures may have improved conditions for some populations, particularly in

Destigmatization is a crucial step toward achieving societal equality. Media contribute both to the stigmatization and destigmatization of various groups. Through a systematic literature review, the present study aims to develop a comprehensive overview of destigmatization in the context of media and communication. A final sample of 79 scientific publications was analyzed and synthesized. First, a systematically derived, interdisciplinary applicable definition of destigmatization is presented. Second, an overview of factors influencing destigmatization is given, categorized into four factor groups: contact, education, language and terminology, and framing. Third, the processual character of destigmatization, referring to reflexive and rule-based processes, is discussed. This systematic literature review emphasizes the responsibility and potential positive impact of media and communication for destigmatization. The findings provide a basis for adaptation and expansion by future research focusing on various stigmatized groups and settings.
