This study investigates the impact of social media addiction on anxiety levels and self-esteem among young adults. Through a quantitative analysis of 154 participants, the study examines the correlations between social media usage, anxiety levels, and self-esteem. The findings reveal significant relationships between these variables, indicating potential implications for mental health interventions targeting young adults. The results demonstrate a positive correlation (39.5%) between social media addiction and anxiety levels, supporting the hypothesis that increased social media usage is associated with higher levels of anxiety among young adults. Additionally, a negative correlation (39.8%) is observed between social media addiction and self-esteem, confirming the hypothesis that excessive engagement with social media platforms is linked to decreased self-esteem. Furthermore, the study reveals a negative correlation (34.1%) between self-esteem levels and anxiety levels in the context of social media. This suggests that individuals with lower self-esteem are more prone to experiencing heightened anxiety levels when engaging with social media platforms. Overall, these findings underscore the intricate relationship between social media addiction, anxiety levels, and self-esteem among young adults. The implications of these correlations are discussed in the context of existing research, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to mitigate the adverse effects of excessive social media usage on mental health.
