Social science researcher Dr. Stevens is conducting a study on the psychological impact of social media use among teenagers. The study involves in-depth interviews with participants aged 14–17, who are asked to reflect on their online experiences and how these affect their mental health and self-esteem. Dr. Stevens invited a group of participants to participate in the study. While most of the participants agreed to the interview, one teenager, Sarah, expressed discomfort about discussing her personal experiences on social media, particularly how they have led to feelings of anxiety and low self-worth. Despite Sarah’s hesitation, Dr. Stevens continued with the interview, assuring her that the conversation would be confidential and used only for academic purposes. During the interview, Dr. Stevens asks increasingly probing questions about Sarah’s online interactions, including her experiences with cyberbullying and body image issues, without offering any emotional support or resources to help Sarah cope with these sensitive topics. As the interview progresses, Sarah becomes visibly upset and starts to cry. However, Dr. Stevens does not pause the session or offer any assistance, pushing ahead with the interview until the scheduled time is complete.
