摘要：How is the dependency spiral triggered? It might start bylooking either for pleasure or escape. In either case, the time spent infront of a screen leads to a pleasant, dopamine-mediated experience.The desire to repeat the use is further fuelled by the physiologicalprocess of tolerance and addiction. This is how things unfold in screendependence (mass-media) when socialization, games, movies areconcerned. Things look entirely different when the need forinformation is taken into consideration. What is the need forinformation’s threshold? Information is not the same thing as thelearning process. The fourth power in the state is the MEDIA. Inmass-media, information relies on amazement, emotional shock, fear.Media feeds on powerful emotions. Are we all victims of suchemotions? As of December 2019, until the present, mass-mediainformation focused on the medical and social issue of the coronaviruspandemics. How have we been affected by this information? Whatwas its impact on our anxiety? How was the perception on reality ofthe people who had the disease altered? In order to get a few answers,we applied a series of questionnaires to a batch of 30 people who hadthe SARS COV2 infection and to a batch of 20 people who haven’tyet contracted the virus.Used material:- Coronavirus anxiety questionnaire www.researchcentral.ro- Mass-media dependency questionnaire www.researchcentral.ro- SRGS posttraumatic development scale; Crystal Park, LawrenceCohen and Renee MurchThe summarized data indicates that the people from the batch whowas infected with cu SARS COV2 have a high anxiety level, aminimum level of mass-media dependency and a maximum SRGSlevel. In the batch of people who have not contracted the disease, themajority has a medium towards maximum anxiety level, minimummass-media dependency. The people in both batches unanimouslyasserted they felt oversaturated with the media information, althougha year ago they could have declared themselves as addicted to such typeof information. Considering that the questioned people sufferedminimum manifestation forms of the disease, the high scores obtainedin SRGS could only be justified if this disease were correlated to amajor psychic disease.
