Basch, Corey H. et al. "COVID-19 On Tiktok: Harnessing an Emerging Social Media Platform To Convey Important Public Health Messages". International Journal of Adolescent Medicine and Health, vol 0, no. 0, 2020. Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, https://doi.org/10.1515/ijamh-2020-0111. Accessed 28 June 2022.

This research aimed to describe the COVID-19-related information that may be found on TikTok. The research incorporated 100 films that were shared online with the hashtag #COVID-19. Results indicated that more than one billion people had seen these videos, with quarantine and worry being the most frequently discussed themes. COVID-19 may be less severe in people under eighteen, but social isolation is still essential because transmission can occur even in those with no symptoms. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that teenagers use social media to stay in touch and have a good outlook. TikTok can address the COVID-19 epidemic in several ways and convey essential health information.

This is a trustworthy source because the authors are professionals in their fields, and their work does not conflict with each other. This research, which focuses on TikTok's ability to convey health information, is critical to developing my thesis topic.

This article investigated the uses and gratifications desired by the significant target demographic of a recently launched social media app called TikTok. Students at sixty different academic institutions across Denmark's five most critical administrative districts were given questionnaires to fill out independently. This study highlights the beneficial effects of social networking sites. TikTok users mainly explore this platform to achieve fame, express themselves, and find acknowledgment. This study also shows that the contributing rather than the participatory features of TikTok were preferred to cultivate and maintain relationships.

This is a credible source since it is a scholarly publication. The background section of my research proposal will be significantly impacted by incorporating this knowledge.

There are increasing social media platforms, which has led to the emergence of more social apps. TikTok is an example of a social media app that gained much following in 2020 and 2021, and this was triggered by the pandemic where people were hungry for communication. The article illustrates an increasing global demand for communication, which has led to technological development trying to meet the communication needs of the people. Since more people get access to smartphones, it is easy to communicate using social media through their portable devices. Using social media platforms in communication makes it possible for people to interact despite their distant geographical locations. The platform allows people to relate and socialize without traveling and meeting in person. Social media apps like Facebook and TikTok are suitable for social interaction and interpersonal relationships.

The source is credible because the source is posted under the eave, which is the media literacy for citizens and the body to understand the evaluation of information before sharing. The information from the source is valuable to me in ensuring that I leverage social media in making friends, relating with people, and building partnerships.

According to the article, as time passes, more people are turning to social media to communicate and socialize. Building a brand, expanding one's network, and improving one's reach can all be aided by cultivating relationships via the social media networks of a brand. Constantly searching for ways to create relationships with the audience to boost their interaction and offer them the high-quality material they're seeking is vital. The audience will eventually purchase if they are nurtured and engaged. This is a reliable source since the material presented here is current, and the author is an experienced professional in relationship building. The information on how social media helps build relationships will be crucial in the entire sections of my literature review.

This study aimed to offer a broad framework for better comprehension of how TikTok is utilized. Open-ended interviews were used to evaluate user motivations and behaviors and the capacities of the TikTok system in moderating these activities. According to the findings, while escapism and emotion boosting are the primary drivers of usage, expressing one's inner self and making new friends were the secondary drivers. Furthermore, the study shows that TikTok, a site that embraces actual human experiences, promotes users' innovation by creating simple and easy-to-manage user interfaces and complete editing capabilities.

This is a credible source because the authors are industry professionals, and their work does not contain any inconsistencies. This study's findings will provide in-depth information about the use of tiktok for my thesis's literature review section.

Moore, Abby, and Kristina Hallet. "12 Ways Social Media Affects Relationships, From Research & Experts". Mindbodygreen, 2020, https://www.mindbodygreen.com/articles/social-media-and-relationships.

According to this article, social media use has both positive and negative effects on relationships. Aside from being a source of information and socializing, these social media sites have the potential to cause mental health problems and unreasonable expectations in relationships. Continual use of phones can also detract from an individual's relationships with their loved ones. On the positive side, several social media networks provide helpful information for establishing and maintaining meaningful relationships. Relationship experts, counselors, and a slew of others are posting helpful advice on social networking sites on how to make relationships better.

This is a reliable source because it contains the most recent information, and its authors have extensive experience in the writing field. The literature review section of my proposal will benefit significantly from the information gathered about how social media influences interpersonal connections and interactions.

The article is developed basically for interaction and entertainment purposes. This is evident in the fact that it is unique because it combines different features from the other social media platforms. TikTok allowed recording videos and using clips and songs to make fun. The platform has also served the purpose of sharing political messages and coordinating political activities. The article has expressed the role social media plays for communication and interactive purposes and significantly contributes to a country's economic growth.

The article is credible because the author is a political scientist who has studied TikTok and understands the social media platforms used in communication and interaction. The article is written and posted on the genuine "The Conversation' platform that considers credible information for sharing. The article is valuable to me since it discusses how social media can influence our day-to-day activities. Understanding TikTok and other social media help in leveraging them for business purposes.

Yang, Yang, and Louisa Ha. "Why People Use Tiktok (Douyin) And How Their Purchase Intentions Are Affected By Social Media Influencers In China: A Uses And Gratifications And Parasocial Relationship Perspective." Journal Of Interactive Advertising, vol 21, no. 3, 2021, pp. 297-305. Informa UK Limited, https://doi.org/10.1080/15252019.2021.1995544. Accessed 28 June 2022.

This study aimed to investigate the motivations for TikTok usage by young Chinese customers and how these motivations may be linked to the influencer video's ability to impact purchase decisions. An online study of 382 Chinese college students revealed that the most prevalent reason for utilizing tiktok was for entertainment. However, individuals motivated by the need to socialize had a high level of knowledge about the process of persuasion, a high level of parasocial interaction with the influencers, and higher buy intentions for the goods that were suggested to them. Tiktok has emerged as a powerful tool for businesses to use in their marketing efforts and for engaging directly with customers. Marketers use social media primarily to increase their customers' awareness of their brands and their loyalty to those brands.

This is a reliable source because it is scholarly and has a doi number. The information from this study on the various reasons why individuals utilize tiktok will provide essential insights to the introduction section of my proposal.
