Social media usage among American adults grew from 5% in 2005 to 69% in 2018. - Needs to be changed since we now have a new number that was provided by the source - it should read. Social media utilization among American adults grew from 5% in 2005 to 72% in early 2019.

Social media utilization has increased with the rise of selfies and studies have shown that the increase use of selfies, specifically with millennials, we see an increase in third-party effect with the content that is being posted by users depend on the type of content, the more negative the greater the TPE while the more positive has a lesser TPE on others.

Research has shown that how politicians facial expressions during their opponents responses during a debate has nothing to do with how people respond to the politician.

Research has shown that even though there has been an increase in social media utilization during election cycles people tend to want to discuss those topics offline to avoid potential backlash.
