摘要: 
    Social media increasingly permeates daily life, shaping interpersonal connections, information access, and political attitudes. While growing scholarly attention has focused on social media addiction and intervention strategies, limited evidence exists regarding how social media usage patterns and reduction methods affect interpersonal dynamics and psychology wellbeing. This study employs a two-month field experiment to investigate these relationships. Results demonstrate that decreased social media usage significantly enhances cooperative tendencies while reducing aggressive and fear-based emotional responses. Notably, reward-based reduction strategies yielded optimal outcomes, whereas punitive approaches increased anxiety levels and antisocial behavioral tendencies. Our findings suggest that moderate reduction in social media engagement may foster cooperation and psychological wellbeing; however, the methodological approach to social media addiction intervention warrants careful consideration.
