A 2022 study by Tao and Fisher on exposure to social media racial discrimination and mental health among adolescents of color found that 94% of adolescents had experienced vicarious social media racial discrimination, and 79% had the experience on an individual level. While all of the surveyed racial groups (Black, Indigenous, Latinx, East/Southeast Asian) reported high levels of discrimination on social media, the rate was significantly higher for Black youth. Youth of color who engaged in racial justice movements on social media were slightly more likely to experience vicarious discrimination, but this engagement could also be seen as a coping mechanism for dealing with racial discrimination overall. In general, more hours spent on social media tended to link with higher depression symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and substance use, with both individual and vicarious discrimination yielding similar results.
