The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how the Social Impact in Social Media (SISM, hereinafter) methodology applied in psychological research provides evidence for the visibility of the social impact of the research. This article helps researchers become aware of whether and how their improvements are capturing the interest of citizens and how citizens are applying such evidence and obtaining better outcomes, in this case, in relation to well-being. In addition, citizens can access the latest evidence on social media and act as channels of communication between science and social or personal networks and, in doing so, they can improve the living conditions of others. This methodology is also useful for agencies that support researchers in psychology with financial assistance, which can use it to evaluate the social impact of the funds that they invest in research. In this article, the 10 studies on well-being were selected for analysis using the following criteria: their research results led to demonstrable improvement in well-being, and these improvements are presented on social media. We applied the social impact coverage ratio to identify the percentage of the social impact shared in social media in relation to the total amount of social media data collected. Finally, examples of quantitative and qualitative evidence of the social impact of the research on well-being are presented.
本文的目的是展示在心理学研究中应用的社交媒体中的社会影响（以下简称SISM）方法如何为研究的社会影响的可见性提供证据。本文帮助研究人员了解他们的研究成果是否以及如何引起公民的兴趣，以及公民如何应用这些证据并获得更好的结果，在这种情况下，是关于幸福感的结果。此外，公民可以获取社交媒体上的最新证据，并充当科学与社会或个人网络之间的沟通渠道，通过这样做，他们可以改善他人的生活条件。这种方法对那些为心理学研究人员提供资金支持的机构也很有用，这些机构可以用它来评估他们投资于研究的资金的社会影响。在本文中，根据以下标准选择了10项关于幸福感的研究进行分析：它们的研究结果导致幸福感有可证明的改善，并且这些改善在社交媒体上有所呈现。我们应用社会影响覆盖率来确定在社交媒体上分享的社会影响占所收集的社交媒体数据总量的百分比。最后，展示了关于幸福感研究的社会影响的定量和定性证据的示例。
