Social Media Psychology
Understanding addiction, algorithms, and online behavior.
When listening to experts or academics speak, the focus shifts from finding simple facts (like times or places) to understanding abstract concepts and cause-and-effect relationships.
In this interview, a doctor explains why humans are drawn to social media. Pay close attention to words describing human biology (like dopamine) and technological systems (like algorithms). You will need to understand how the technology affects our psychology.
