Abstract

Social media has revolutionized interaction patterns among teenagers, providing them with new opportunities to communicate and share experiences like never before. However, an important issue that arises is how intensive use of social media affects mental health and the development of social skills. The tendency to spend excessive time online can reduce opportunities for in-person interactions that are important for social and cognitive learning. The lack of face-to-face contact can hinder adolescents in developing empathy and non-verbal communication skills. Furthermore, constant social comparison and the search for online validation can trigger psychological distress, including self-esteem issues and anxiety. The research method in this study uses literature research method. The results show that social media provides ample opportunities for adolescents to connect socially, explore identity, and participate in online communities. However, adolescents' use of social media also poses significant challenges. In particular, findings suggest a correlation between intensive social media use and an increased risk of mental health problems such as depression and anxiety, as well as a reduction in face-to-face interactions that may affect the development of healthy social and emotional skills.

Abstract

Digital literacy encompasses the ability to access, understand and use digital information effectively, which is becoming increasingly important in an era of rapidly evolving technology. This study uses the literature method. The results showed that most teenagers have good access to digital devices such as smartphones and computers. However, there are variations in their level of digital knowledge and skills, especially when it comes to using technology for productive purposes. Formal education that supports digital literacy proved to be important, along with the significant role of support from family and peers in directing the wise use of technology. Thus, improving digital literacy and communication skills among adolescents requires synergy between adequate technological infrastructure, relevant education, and support from the social environment. Thus, adolescents can be better prepared to face challenges in the digital era and utilise technology optimally and responsibly.

Abstract

This literature review aims to analyze the effectiveness of communication theories in improving public health campaign outcomes. By studying various sources and related literature, the review identifies how the use of communication theories, such as Meaningful Action Theory, Diffusion of Innovations Theory, and Behavior Change Theory, can provide valuable insights in planning and implementing effective communication strategies in a public health context. From this analysis, the study also considered the influence of technology and media in facilitating the dissemination of health messages, as well as how target audiences receive and process these messages. The results show that the strategic application of communication theory has significant potential in improving the effectiveness of public health campaigns. Key findings highlighted the importance of tailored approaches to specific audiences to increase resonance and relevance of messages, the importance of integrating multimedia communication strategies to extend reach and impact, and the need to understand the dynamics and preferences of target audiences. By strategically applying communication theory in the design and implementation of health campaigns, organizations and practitioners can achieve increased awareness, attitude change, and adoption of desired health behaviors among the broader public. The implications of these findings underscore the importance of a theory-based communication approach in enhancing the effectiveness of public health interventions.
