The Difference in the Degree of Harm Suffered by Extroverts and Introverts When They Receive Negative Comments on Social Media
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
Today’s teenagers, as the new generation most susceptible to the influence of the internet, use their phones very frequently, and participating in the online world has become the main theme of their lives. Online platforms have become the trigger for adolescent psychological disorders. Secondly, teenagers may experience feelings of jealousy, comparison, and inferiority when using these media. However, research has also found that teenagers who love sports and life are less likely to suffer from digital depression, and they can face this series of negative emotions with an optimistic and positive attitude. Therefore, the author would like to know if there is a difference in the degree of harm suffered by extroverts and introverts when receiving negative reviews on social media, and its magnitude. Hoping that through this study, teenagers can learn how to alleviate negative emotions caused by the internet and reduce the risk of depression. The method used will be an experiment, and the author will imitate the method in the article Why Do Adolescents Receive Negative Feedback And Who Is Most At Risk?: using the modified NEO-FFI to focus on the basic features, language features, and interactive features of users’ published content, and infer whether their personality is extraversion or neuroobjectism in Big Five. The expected experimental result is that people with higher scores for extroversion generally have fewer negative emotions than those with higher scores for introversion, and the degree of difference between them will intensify over time.
