Poster Session VII - Research Proposal Posters

Keyword: Digital Media

Abstract: In an experimental paradigm where participants empathize with the protagonist in a video, we will compare social media use with other forms of entertainment. We will examine how self-related needs, vitality, and sense of regret are impacted in each condition. Further, we will examine future time perspective as a moderator.
