This study examines the relationship between social media usage patterns and individual worldviews. Worldviews are defined as core beliefs and values that shape how people interpret experiences and interact with others. While research demonstrates that worldviews reach all corners of our lives - from how we interpret events, make decisions, and form relationships - little is known about how varying levels of social media interaction differ across different worldviews (Nilsson,2013). Participants will provide data on their social media habits, personal worldviews, and demographic information. This project will investigate the relationships between people's social media habits, specifically how much time they spend online and which platforms they use, relate to their different views about life and the world - including their beliefs about Humanism and Harmony, Secularism, Eastern-based Spirituality, Self-reliance, and Determinism. Given social media's prominence in daily life understanding how digital platforms affect perspectives on the world is crucial.
