Social Media Articles

Find a few articles that are "digestible" on the ills of social media.
I looked at the online library for a good period of time, but did not find a whole lot.
So, I did a web search for PDF's. Below are a list of articles, but, of course, you'll
need to review for appropriateness. Although I thought this would be easier to
find, it proved to be somewhat of a challenge, especially when trying to envision
who the learner is and in alignment with the objectives. I'll keep looking, but
wanted to give you what I had so far.

1. This article is from the online library and discusses the ethical and safety
issue for psychologists in relation to using social media sites when treating a
patient.

2. This article touches on the ethics of social media as it is related to child
psychology. Not sure if this is what they're looking for.

media activity: Professional and ethical practice implications and recommendations.

implications.

4. This article discusses how the "typical" adolescent egocentrism is
exacerbated by the use of social media and gives them a new medium to display
this behavior.

Week 4 - Baggage Articles

Appraise impact of psychological baggage on relationships - need articles.

1. This article discusses how a group of divorcees' first marriage baggage has
affected their second marriage.
