Being Viral Online and its effect on Mental Health

Abstract

We are currently living in a digital age with an increasing rise of social media and users on the internet. With this rise in social media, we are seeing users rapidly spreading around content to share and sometimes it is not with the best intentions. This Senior Capstone paper discusses the relationship with being viral online and the effect it has on mental health by looking into existing research on cyberbullying and connects it to influencers in order to establish a connection between being viral online and mental health.
