Schwer wegzuwischen: Social-Media-Sucht in Deutschland

In the organizer's words:

More and more people are spending a large part of their everyday lives on social networks. For some, this use is becoming a burden. Joint studies by Macromedia University and YouGov show that Around 15 percent of Germans exhibit typical symptoms of social media addiction.

However, a common misconception persists: that social media addiction is primarily a problem among children and young people. Current analyses show a different picture. Young adults, professionals and people up to their mid-40s also struggle with problematic usage patterns. This often has negative consequences for sleep, concentration, relationships and mental health.

Professor Dr. René Arnold from Macromedia University categorizes the results in his presentation at Wissenschaft im Rathaus and warns: "We can no longer pretend that the risk disappears when you turn 18. Excessive social media use has long affected all age groups and is a social problem."
