Digital Isolation: The Impact of Social Media and Emerging Technologies on Mental Health.
数字隔离体现了一种当代悖论:通过社交媒体和数字技术增强的连通性并不必然转化为更好的社会整合或心理福祉。本综述综合了当前关于数字环境与心理健康关系的证据,重点关注孤独感、焦虑、抑郁及相关结局背后的机制。研究结果表明,问题性和被动性使用社交媒体——尤其是当与社会比较过程和错失恐惧(FoMO)相关联时——始终与抑郁症状、焦虑、睡眠障碍水平升高以及幸福感降低相关。与此同时,证据凸显了显著的异质性,提示数字技术的影响受到用户特征、年龄、参与模式和心理社会背景的调节。重要的是,数字技术也可能通过促进社会支持发挥补偿性和保护性功能,尤其是在客观隔离的条件下。关键中介机制包括网络欺凌、社会排斥、情绪传染和身体形象标准的内化。“数字孤独”这一概念成为理解持续连通与感知关系不足之间差异的有用框架。实践意义强调需要有针对性的干预措施,聚焦于数字素养、健康使用模式和心理社会支持,而非简单地减少屏幕使用时间。总体而言,数字隔离应被概念化为中介化社会互动的质性功能障碍,而非技术暴露的纯量化效应。
Digital isolation represents a contemporary paradox in which increased connectivity through social media and digital technologies does not necessarily translate into improved social integration or psychological well-being. This review synthesizes current evidence on the relationship between digital environments and mental health, with a focus on mechanisms underlying loneliness, anxiety, depression, and related outcomes. The findings indicate that problematic and passive use of social media-particularly when associated with social comparison processes and Fear of Missing Out (FoMO)-is consistently linked to increased levels of depressive symptoms, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and reduced well-being. At the same time, the evidence highlights substantial heterogeneity, suggesting that the impact of digital technologies is moderated by user characteristics, age, patterns of engagement, and psychosocial context. Importantly, digital technologies may also serve compensatory and protective functions by facilitating social support, especially in conditions of objective isolation. Key mediating mechanisms include cyberbullying, social exclusion, emotional contagion, and internalization of body image standards. The concept of "digital loneliness" emerges as a useful framework for understanding the discrepancy between constant connectivity and perceived relational insufficiency. Practical implications emphasize the need for targeted interventions focusing on digital literacy, healthy usage patterns, and psychosocial support rather than simplistic reduction in screen time. Overall, digital isolation should be conceptualized as a qualitative dysfunction of mediated social interaction rather than a purely quantitative effect of technology exposure.
