The sample of the present investigation comprises of 35 young people (N=35). The age of the participants range from 18 to 24 years. The data was collected through convenient sampling.
Material:( i will be using the Beck Depression Inventory test (BDI-II) andRYFF’S Psychological well- being scale )
1.Beck Depression Inventory test (BDI-II) was first introduced in 1961 and had been created by Dr. Aaron T. Beck. The test which I will be using is the revised version of 1988. It is a test which consists of 21 question multiple choice self- report inventory, one of the widely used instruments for measuring the severity of depression. The rage of validity was satisfactorily high (alpha >84). Whereas the range of reliability is recorded more than 0.75.
2.RYFF’S Psychological well- being scale is a structured, self- report instruments of psychological well- being. It was a test which was developed by Ryff 1989 and Keyes 1995. The test which I will be using the 18 -item version. It consists of 42 items and measure the six aspects of well -being and happiness autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, positive relations with others, purpose in life and self- acceptance. The validity range vary from 0.87 to 0.97. However, the reliability varies
from 0.78 to .97.
The people who were high on the use of social media were using different types of and the people were screened out as the primary data for research. Further, Beck- Depression Inventory Test was administered on them. In addition, those who were high on BDI were only kept for research and then the next test was administered on them and the rest were screened out from the primary data.

Method
Participants
The sample consisted of 68 students between the ages of 18 and 26 (M = 21.33, SD = 2.17) from a university in Toronto. The sample included 38 females, 29 males, and one individual who did not specify a gender. The participants identified as Caucasian (42.5%), Asian-Canadian (21.8%), Middle-Eastern (18.4%), African-Canadian (10.3%), Hispanic (2.3%), 5 Multiracial (2.3%), or Other (2.3%). We recruited participants by sending an e-mail invitation to everyone who had purchased a ticket to an on-campus concert. This was done one month in advance of the event. Interested individuals were asked to respond to the e-mail, stating that they would like to volunteer. Potential participants were excluded from the study if they were not university students, if they did not own and use a Smartphone to take photos and/or videos at least several times per month, or if they had a visual impairment that would prevent them from being able to take photos and videos. Participants received a $10 gift card towards an on-campus coffee shop as incentive for taking part in the study.
