Implications of Social Media Dependency in Pakistan

Abstract

    This article aims to provide a detailed discourse on the studies that have been conducted in the past four years to assess Pakistani individuals’ social media dependency, in the context of media system dependency theory, and its implications on the cognitive and behavioral aspects of their everyday lives. Skimming down to the conclusion, the article addresses strategies that could, if implemented, be beneficial for any hazardous consequences to the well-being of Pakistani social media users and suggests longitudinal studies for looking into the evolving patterns of social media dependency.
