Abstract
The research intends to investigate the way perceived ostracism leads to mental exhaustion and whether or not doomscrolling and digital detox impacts this association. In this study, the effects of perceived ostracism on mental fatigue with an emphasis on the mediating effect of doomscrolling and the moderating effect of digital detox among young adults are examined. A quantitative design was utilized that involved using validated and reliable scales. Data were gathered from young adults and statistical tests, such as mediation and moderation models, were conducted. The results reveal a large-scale positive correlation between perceived ostracism and mental exhaustion. Doomscrolling acts as a mediator that increases exhaustion, whereas digital detox acts as a buffer that decreases ostracism's impact. The research emphasizes the need for organized digital detox programs to counteract stress. Longitudinal research approaches and intervention methods for improving digital well-being should be examined in future studies.
