• TITLE: Social Media Use and Empathy: A Mini Meta-Analysis

  AUTHORS: Shu-Sha Angie Guan, Sophia Hain, Jennifer Cabrera, Andrea Rodarte

  KEYWORDS: Social Media, Empathic Concern, Perspective-Taking

  JOURNAL NAME: Social Networking, Vol.8 No.4, October 9, 2019

  ABSTRACT: Concerns about the effects of social media or social networking site (SNS) use on prosocial development are increasing. The aim of the current study is to meta-analytically summarize the research to date (k = 5) about the relationship between general SNS use and two components of empathy (i.e., empathic concern and perspective-taking). Random effects meta-analyses showed that SNS use was significantly and positively related to affective empathy though only marginally related to cognitive empathy. These effects were generally small in size and do not establish causality. Future research should explore how specific behaviors are related to different forms of empathy.
