Are you familiar with such a scene: every festival,friends and family get together is not talking about,but their focus on the tablet and cell phone;classmates,not the old words,but competing with each other taking pictures of WeChat,microblogging;class,The teacher is lecturing,the student is chatting on the net;At the annual meeting,the host is in the report,the audience is receiving the information;On the subway,there seems to be a "rules of admission",let us bow down after finding the comfortable position.These acts gradually evolved into a social phenomenon,Shirley Turkel summed up as "group loneliness",that we seem to live together,but in fact they exist in their own space.Social media,as a new vehicle for opening the social model of human beings on the Internet,deeply and widely penetrates into our lives.This dissertation takes the born group in the 1990 s as the research object,and the group grows with the popularization of social media,which has the significance of research.From the perspective of social psychology,the author draws on the theme of Shirley Turkel's TED lecture,uses the social cognition and social identification theory in social psychology,and adopts quantitative research methods and qualitative research such as questionnaire survey,in-depth interviews and theoretical speculation Method of combining methods,try to answer these three questions: First,the current dependence of the people on social media is how? Second,the social media exposure depends on what the needs of the media contact,will deepen the sense of loneliness? Third,the media technology will really deepen the relationship between people,or let us become more lonely?Group loneliness as a social media dependence on people's heart impact,this paper first analyzes the current situation of social media dependence,mainly in the network environment,new self,fantasy and social behavior.Subsequently,the author disseminated the collected data through the questionnaire and combined the opinions and materials obtained from the group interviews to analyze the causes of group loneliness from three aspects: technical demonstration,identification and psychological expectation.Taking the social media WeChat as an example,we interpret the psychological needs hidden behind self-exhibition.And concludes that there is widespread dependence on the use of social media at present,most notably among 19-35 age groups.The display function of social media will exacerbate the formation of individual loneliness.As a result,advances in media technology appear to be moving closer to each other,in effect making them more alienated.At the end of the article,the author gives the treatment plan according to the diagnosis symptoms.First of all,the use of social media does not necessarily lead to group loneliness.There is an inherent loneliness behind the modern society,manifested in relationships and social ways.Second,conversation is an effective way to avoid loneliness,resume conversation,increase communication in family and work,and promote the formation of new-secret relationship.Finally,regardless of whether an individual relies on social media or not,effective management of media use efficiency is conducive to social development and individual self-growth.Virtual is wonderful,but we still have to come back to reality.
