“…Buna göre 4 saat ve üzeri teknoloji kullanan bireylerin durumluk kaygı düzeylerinin 0-2 saat kullanan bireylerinkinden daha yüksek olduğu; 0-2 saat kullananların psikolojik sağlamlık düzeylerinin 2-4 saat ve 4 saat ve üzeri kullananlarınkinden daha yüksek olduğu; son olarak 4 saat ve üzeri teknoloji kullanımı gösteren bireylerin mevcut anlam düzeylerinin 0-2 saat ve 2-4 saat kullananlarınkinden daha düşük olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

“…Indeed, excessive media consumption and steady health messaging on COVID-19's diffusion and consequences are exacerbating factors on individuals' mental health (8). Previously, negative feelings have been extensively associated with excessive social media use and digital addiction (61)(62)(63)(64)(65)(66)(67)(68)(69)(70). In particular, loneliness is a risk factor related to problematic engagement in Internet-related activities (63,(71)(72)(73)(74)(75) and as one of the most important predictors of problematic Internet and social networking site use (76,77).…”

The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) prompted people to face a distressing and unexpected situation. Uncertainty and social distancing changed people's behaviors, impacting on their feelings, daily habits, and social relationships, which are core elements in human well-being. In particular, restrictions due to the quarantine increased feelings of loneliness and anxiety. Within this context, the use of digital technologies has been recommended to relieve stress and anxiety and to decrease loneliness, even though the overall effects of social media consumption during pandemics still need to be carefully addressed. In this regard, social media use evidence risk and opportunities. In fact, according to a compensatory model of Internet-related activities, the online environment may be used to alleviate negative feelings caused by distressing life circumstances, despite potentially leading to negative outcomes. The present study examined whether individuals who were experiencing high levels of loneliness during the forced isolation for COVID-19 pandemic were more prone to feel anxious, and whether their sense of loneliness prompted excessive social media use. Moreover, the potentially mediating effect of excessive social media use in the relationship between perceived loneliness and anxiety was tested. A sample of 715 adults (71.5% women) aged between 18 and 72 years old took part in an online survey during the period of lockdown in Italy. The survey included self-report measures to assess perceived sense of loneliness, excessive use of social media, and anxiety. Participants reported that they spent more hours/day on social media during the pandemic than before the pandemic. We found evidence that perceived feelings of loneliness predicted both excessive social media use and anxiety, with excessive social media use also increasing anxiety levels. These findings suggest that isolation probably reinforced the individuals' sense of loneliness, strengthening the need to be part of virtual communities. However, the facilitated and prolonged access to social media during the COVID-19 pandemic risked to further increase anxiety, generating a vicious cycle that in some cases may require clinical attention.

“…37 One of these factors, social support, has been largely studied with respect to resilience and aggression 38 . Research evidence shows that strong social relationships act as major protective factor for resilience and, consequently, acts as risk factor for anger and related aggressive tendencies 39 . As noted by several researchers, middle adulthood is that stage of development when an individual goes through a many predictable and unforeseen transitions which could be due to loss of employment, children leaving the house, physical health problems, etc.…”

The ability to be resilient in the face of adversity requires the absence of unhealthy coping behaviors, one of which is aggression. Middle adulthood is the developmental stage of various midlife stressors. Limited data is available with regards to this age group especially in Pakistan. The present study was conducted to determine the relationship between resilience and aggression in middle adulthood. For this purpose, 200 participants (100 men; 100 women) with Mage = 42.67 years & SD = 6.04, from different work places and residential areas of Karachi, Pakistan participated in the study. The Brief Resilience Scale was used to measure resilience whereas aggression was measured using the Short Form of the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire. Pearson product-moment correlation and regression analysis, conducted using the SPSS, indicated the presence of a significant negative correlation between resilience and aggression. This study would help in understanding how resilience and aggression plays a role during middle adulthood. It would further be beneficial for mental health professionals to identify, devise, and implement better ways of enhancing resilience and helping people to deal with adversities in a healthy manner.
