Authors

Abstract
The extensive use of social media by youth has sparked considerable debate regarding its impact on emotional intelligence (EI) and empathy. This research delves into how varying degrees of social media engagement shape these crucial interpersonal and emotional skills. By employing a mixed-method approach that includes both quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, the study aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon. Findings indicate that purposeful engagement on social media platforms can foster empathetic responses by exposing users to diverse perspectives, thereby enhancing their ability to relate to others. However, excessive and unstructured use of social media often leads to emotional dysregulation and shallow social connections, undermining deeper interpersonal bonds. These effects are particularly evident among youth who frequently engage with superficial content or experience comparison anxiety due to curated online personas. Recommendations focus on promoting balanced usage, integrating emotional intelligence training in educational curricula, and fostering guided interventions to optimize youth’s emotional and social development in the digital era.
