This study aimed to identify the extent to which young people follow short videos on social media platforms, the impact of this viewing on their mental health, and their evaluation of the type of content they follow. The study adopted a descriptive-analytical approach and used a questionnaire as the primary data collection tool. The questionnaire was administered to a sample of 400 young people, specifically students at An-Najah National University in Nablus, Palestine. The questionnaire was distributed electronically. The results showed that approximately 72% of the sample watch short videos daily, indicating the widespread popularity of this type of content among young people. The results also showed that 74% of respondents find short videos enjoyable, and 58% believe they provide useful information. Regarding mental health, the results showed that 52% of young people experience mental fatigue when watching too many short videos, 47% suffer from poor concentration, and 44% notice mood changes. These results indicate a modest demand for short videos due to students being preoccupied with their studies.
