    Happiness
    • Hedonic Happiness
    Hedonic happiness focuses on personal happiness involving pleasure, joy and
    satisfaction, for instance, you enjoyed a good meal at the restaurant, you had
    fun with your friends in the party, or you felt so satisfied with your life

    • Subjective Well-being (SWB)


    It is used as a synonym for happiness (Diener, 1984, 2000). Subjective well-
    being is defined as consisting of three components: (a) life satisfaction, (b)
    presence of positive affect, and (c) a relative absence of negative affect
    (Baumgardner & Crothers, 2015, p.17).

    • Eudaimonic happiness
    It is also called psychological well being. In addition to minimizing negative
    experiences and maximizing positive experiences in life, well-being also
    consists of achieving full human potential and to live life fully with meaning
    and authenticity and purposefulness (Waterman et al., 2010).
    Social Media

    • Social media is a diverse set of online tools that


    enable social interaction and the creation, sharing,
    and exchange of user-generated content (Kaplan,
    2015).
    • It encompasses a wide range of platforms, including
    social networking sites, blogs, and discussion forums
    (Zahoor, 2017).
    • These platforms have become an integral part of
    daily life, providing a space for people to connect,
    share, and exchange ideas (Shahjahan, 2014)
    The Objectives and Scope
    of the Systematic Review

    • The aim of this study is to conduct a thorough


    analysis of the current literature about the
    correlation between happiness and social media
    use.
    • To pinpoint the important variables that mediate
    or regulate the relationship between happiness
    and social media.
    • To assess the present study's methodological
    shortcomings and areas of strength.
    • To summarize results and suggest lines of
    inquiry for further study to have a greater
    understanding of this multifaceted interaction
    Discussion
    Social media has a complex impact on well-being and
    happiness, with both positive and negative outcomes. On the
    positive side, social media can enhance self-esteem, reduce
    loneliness, improve mental health, foster a sense of belonging
    and community, and boost happiness through meaningful
    connections and supportive interactions.
    Conversely, excessive or passive use, frequent social
    comparison, exposure to idealized images, and experiences of
    cyberbullying can decrease self-esteem, increase feelings of
    inadequacy and loneliness, and lead to anxiety, depression,
    and stress.
    The effects largely depend on how individuals engage with
    social media platforms, highlighting the importance of
    balanced and mindful usage to maximize benefits and
    minimize harm.
    Future Research
    Needs

    • Investigate the role of specific social media platform


    features in promoting or inhibiting happiness.
    • Explore the impact of social media on different
    demographic groups, including pre-teens, middle-aged
    individuals, and older adults.
    • Address the research gap as current studies only
    predominantly focus on adolescents and young adults.
    • Conduct studies on platforms like YouTube and WhatsApp,
    which have large user bases but limited researches.
    • Undertake longitudinal studies to track changes in social
    media use and happiness levels over time.
