| Core Tip |
This study examined media consumption patterns and their relationships with depressive and anxiety symptoms among the general population during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the cluster analysis, survey participants’ media preferences were categorized into seven clusters. A higher risk of depression and anxiety was observed among participants who primarily consumed media through social platforms, with minimal engagement in traditional and digital media sources. Encouraging the use of traditional and digital media, along with implementing regulatory policies on social media platforms, has the potential to mitigate the risk of depression and anxiety in the general population during future medical pandemics. |
