Is Social Media a Cause of Poor Life Satisfaction?

Adults who reported using more social media also reported less satisfaction with life. But time one reports of social media and t v use did not predict body dissatisfaction, eating disorders, toms or life satisfaction at time two. So the authors interpreted this as evidence that social media is a forum in which pure competition can take place. The results don't necessarily suggest that removing social media from the lines of teens is going to fix the underlying problem here.
