Vliv sociálních sítí na mentální zdraví mladých lidí

The presented bachelor's thesis focuses on examining the influence of social networks on the mental health of young people. With the increase in the use of social networks among the young population, the need to understand the effects of these platforms on the psychological state and well-being of individuals becomes more urgent. The aim of the bachelor's thesis is to find out what concrete effects the long-term use of social networks has on the mental health of young people and to find out whether young people actively try to limit their screen time. The work deals with the analysis of various aspects, including content consumption, online interaction through social networks and the psychological consequences of such behaviour. To achieve the goal, a questionnaire survey methodology was chosen, which included a random selection of respondents aged 14-30 and a case study comparing 2 close friends. The case study focuses on the impact of social media on their work/school life.
