the claim

Social media use affects extroversion.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that social media use affects extroversion?

Partly. One experimental study reports that a social media induction task increased self-reported extroversion, while two other studies treat extroversion as a predictor of social media behavior rather than an outcome. The evidence covers only single studies and does not settle a general causal effect.
