[Social Media Algorithmic Content Exposure and Subjective Sense of Loneliness among Generation Z Young Adults in the United States: The Mediating Role of Weak‑Tie Social Connection]

Authors: Felix Markus Weber, Pierre Dubois, Eleanor Townsend, Charlotte Louise Harding
Abstract Preview: Using 714 valid questionnaires of US Gen‑Z respondents, this study tests a mediation model. Results show algorithmic social‑media content exposure expands weak‑tie social connections, which further mediates the positive link toward subjective loneliness, supporting the “connectivity paradox” and “lonely algorithm” theoretical framework.
Keywords: algorithmic content exposure; weak‑tie social connection; loneliness; Generation Z; social media; media sociology

Article 2 (Pages 10–20)

[Digital Inclusion and Climate Resilience in Rural Amazonian Communities: How Mobile Internet Access Shapes Adaptive Capacity to Extreme Weather Events]

Authors: Rebecca Jane Campbell, Stephanie Marie Gibson
Abstract Preview: This study analyzes 827 rural Amazon household survey samples. Collective environmental knowledge partially mediates the relationship between multi‑dimensional digital inclusion and community climate resilience. It argues digital infrastructure works best when combined with local intergenerational ecological knowledge systems rather than deployed in isolation.
Keywords: digital inclusion; climate resilience; traditional ecological knowledge; Amazon Basin; rural communities; environmental sociology
