There is a wide body of research on the effects of social media use on mental health, particularly focusing on young people. However, very little is known about the mental health of social media influencers (SMIs), who also tend to be quite young. This is of growing significance as more of our daily lives is conducted online, and in the context of poor population mental health globally, which declined further as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We therefore set out to review the mental health of SMIs and, in the absence of literature on SMIs, drew on other similar but more traditional occupational groups, such as the self-employed, to draw conclusions and identify directions for future research.
社交媒体使用对心理健康的影响已经有了广泛的研究，尤其是针对年轻人。然而，对于社交媒体影响者（SMI）的心理健康，人们知之甚少，而他们往往也很年轻。随着我们更多的日常生活转移到线上进行，以及全球人口心理健康状况不佳，这种情况变得越来越重要，而 COVID-19 大流行则进一步加剧了这种情况。因此，我们着手研究 SMI 的心理健康状况，并在缺乏有关 SMI 的文献的情况下，借鉴了其他类似但更为传统的职业群体，如个体经营者，来得出结论并确定未来研究的方向。
