How does materialism in social media trigger stress and unhappiness?
<p>Clothes, cars, travel, followers: People with a materialistic mindset always want more and, above all, more than others. Social media provides them with ideal opportunities to compare themselves with others, which makes them susceptible to passive and addictive user behavior. This stresses them out and, ultimately, leads to low life satisfaction. This downward spiral, which turns materialists into less happy people, was identified by researchers from Bochum in an online survey of over 1,200 participants. They published their findings in the journal <a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772503024000033" target="_blank">Telematics and Informatics Reports from January, 8, 2024</a>.</p>
