Abstract The question whether social media use benefits or undermines adolescents’ well-being is an important societal concern. Previous empirical studies have mostly established across-the-board effects among (sub)populations of adolescents. As a result, it still open the are unique for each individual adolescent. We sampled experiences six times per day one week to quantify differences in their susceptibility on momentary affective well-being. Rigorous analyses 2,155 real-time assessments showed that association between and differs strongly across adolescents: While 44% did not feel better worse after passive use, 46% felt better, 10% worse. Our results imply person-specific can no longer be ignored research, as well prevention intervention programs.

Literature reviews on how social media use affects adolescent mental health have accumulated at an unprecedented rate of late. Yet, a higher-level integration the evidence is still lacking. We fill this gap with up-to-date umbrella review, review published between 2019 and mid-2021. Our search yielded 25 reviews: seven meta-analyses, nine systematic, narrative reviews. Results showed that most interpreted associations as 'weak' or 'inconsistent,' whereas few qualified same 'substantial' 'deleterious.' summarize gaps identified in reviews, provide explanation for their diverging interpretations, suggest several avenues future research.

Computer-mediated communication (CMC), and specifically social media, may affect the mental health (MH) well-being of its users, for better or worse. Research on this topic has accumulated rapidly, accompanied by controversial public debate numerous systematic reviews meta-analyses. Yet, a higher-level integration multiple disparate conceptual operational approaches to CMC MH individual review findings is desperately needed. To end, we first develop two organizing frameworks that systematize MH. Based these frameworks, integrate literature through meta-review 34 content analysis 594 publications. Meta-analytic evidence, overall, suggests small negative association between media use However, effects are complex depend indicators investigated. our evidence synthesis, devise an agenda future research in interdisciplinary field.

Within a relatively short time span, social media have transformed the way humans interact, leading many to wonder what, if any, implications this interactive revolution has had for people's emotional lives. Over past 15 years, an explosion of research examined issue, generating countless studies and heated debate. Although early generated inconclusive findings, several experiments revealed small negative effects use on well-being. These results mask, however, deeper set complexities. Accumulating evidence indicates that can enhance or diminish well-being depending how people them. Future is needed model these complexities using stronger methods advance knowledge in domain.

Debates concerning the impacts of screen time are widespread. Existing research presents mixed findings, and lacks longitudinal evidence for any causal or long-term effects. We present a critical account current shortcomings literature. These include poor conceptualisation, use non-standardised measures that predominantly self-report, issues with measuring over context. Based on these issues, we make series recommendations as basis furthering academic public debate. drawing user-focused approach in order to seek various affordances gained from "screen use". Within this, can better understand way which vary across context, distinction between objective time" compared those more subjective experiences uses affordances, differential may bring.

Social media have become increasingly integrated into the daily lives of adolescents. There are concerns about potential detrimental effects adolescents' social use (SMU) on their mental health. Using a three-wave longitudinal study among 2109 secondary school adolescents (Mage = 13.1, SDage 0.8), present examined whether high SMU intensity and addiction-like problems were bidirectionally associated with low health, these associations mediated by increased levels upward comparisons, cybervictimization, decreased subjective achievements, less face-to-face contact friends.
