I added a couple of sentences and a citation with those sentences to the article "Positivity Effect."

The sentence I added was "Some Instagram users use the app to spread positivity to others, and in doing so, they themselves are left feeling happier. Not only does positivity in social media affect the person being encouraged through comments, but also the person writing the encouraging comments." And I cited it to this source: "I Spread Positivity on Instagram & Here's What Happened" Her Campus. Retrieved 2019-02-21.

I'm considering a few other sources as well.

In the "Positivity Effect" article, I want to add to the "in perception" section and say:

According to the research recorded by Dan Zarella, the more postivie a person is on social media, the more followers they will get because "users become less engaged when content on their feed becomes more negative" (Lee 1). So, when someone posts a lot of positive things, it makes people want to be a part of their social media presence. People on social media seek out positivity.

This all looks good, Destiny. Sources are relevant, but not academic. Your draft appears to provide important information for the WP page. You'll need to think about how best to integrate this information by introducing it and explaining its significance (think sandwich). That might require adding more text.
