 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

editNews Avoidance
edit+The concept of news avoidance entails taking efforts to avoid associating with a topic that makes the viewer anxious.[1] Themes that are repeatedly shown in the news can produce overwhelming feelings of concern, such as coverage of a crisis.[2]
Social Media
edit+An online study in Lithuania found that during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a rise in social media fatigue. [3] Due to social media being the primary way of connecting with others during quarantine, its presence in people's lives has grown prior to the pandemic. These circumstances have led to an overconsumption of social media.
Avoidance
edit+Social media habits can also include selective avoidance, meaning the user chooses to expose themselves to specific topics and news online.[4] Filtering technologies on social media allow users to be presented with content that supports their opinions.[5] Because of these technologies, users can spend more time on social media. In short, selective avoidance is a result of media fatigue, in which a user takes steps to prevent feeling overwhelmed when a specific subject is brought up.[4]
Zoom Fatigue
edit
+René Riedl defines Zoom fatigue as the tendency to feel inclined to avoid video conferencing software due to extensive overuse. [6] In relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a dependence on video conference software to keep in contact with those not living in the same household.
