Hi, this seems like a really interesting topic and you can tackle it from a number of angles. Firstly I think research has demonstrated that it is all about how an individuals copes with the given situation that will effect their emotions. Those who know how to cope with the feed back can control their emotions more favorably that those who are struggling to cope with the massive amounts of feedback. In addition, it is probably important to explore the type of media outlet as different sources are seen in different favors. Is it positive or is it negative? These kinds of tones can psychologically improve an individuals self-esteem and well-being or seriously hurt them, psychologically. A couple theories that could provide some scope on the topic include: Social identity theory, reduction hypothesis, rich-get-richer, signalling theory and social-comparison theory. A lot of these theories have to do with social psychology, however media is a form of social connections and people are probably more bias towards favored media sources. In addition these media sources probably reinforce their psychological health by agreeing with their attitudes. U3175664 (discuss • contribs) 10:25, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
