studybreaks.com
Especially for young men, social media has a large negative impact on what they believe about healthy relationships and what they believe about consent.

It seems that lately we are constantly learning of new ways social media impacts our daily lives and our perceptions of the world. Men and women often have differing views around the expected norms for romantic relationships and platonic relationships. A new study from the University of Georgia found social media may impact perceptions of what is expected in romantic relationships, consent, and sexual activity.

WUGA’s Alexia Ridley sits down with the lead researcher Dr. Adrienne Baldwin-White to talk about her work.

Alexia Ridley joined WUGA as Television and Radio News Anchor and Reporter in 2013. When WUGA TV concluded operations, she became the primary Reporter for WUGA Radio. Alexia came to Athens from Macon where she served as the News Director and show host for WGXA TV. She's a career journalist and Savannah native hailing from the University of Michigan. However, Alexia considers herself an honorary UGA DAWG!
