Abstract Research agrees that self-reported measures of time spent with social media (TSM) show poor convergent validity, because they correlate modestly equivalent objective digital trace measures. This experience sampling study among 159 adolescents (12,617 self-reports) extends this work by examining the comparative predictive validity and TSM, is, extent to which TSM correspond in their effects on self-esteem, well-being, friendship closeness. Using an N = 1 method analysis, we investigated correspondence a between-person, within-person, person-specific level. Although our results confirmed reported earlier, found self-reports had comparable all three levels. Because is crucial for investigating effects, have important implications future research using TSM.

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.

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. In doing so, health was measured depressive symptoms life satisfaction. Findings from random intercept cross-lagged panel models showed direct unidirectional association between health: one year later, but not vice versa. also predicted comparisons cybervictimization later.

The formation and maintenance of friendship closeness is an important developmental task in adolescence. To obtain insight real-time processes that may underly the development middle adolescence, this preregistered experience sampling study [ESM] investigated effects social media use on closeness. was conducted among 387 adolescents (54% girls; Mage = 14.11 years; 96% Dutch) from different educational tracks (44% lower prevocational secondary education, 31% intermediate general 26% academic preparatory education). Adolescents reported six times per day for 3 weeks their Instagram, WhatsApp, Snapchat previous hour momentary experiences (126 assessments; 34,930 observations). Multilevel analyses revealed positive between-person associations with WhatsApp Instagram close friends. In contrast, at within-person level, we found small negative overall (with without friends) However, there large heterogeneity person-specific effect sizes For example, association friends ranged β -.745 to .697.

Digital well-being concerns individuals’ subjective in a social environment where digital media are omnipresent. A general framework is developed to integrate empirical research toward cumulative science of the impacts use on well-being. It describes nature and connections between three pivotal constructs: practices, harms/benefits, Individual’s practices arise within shape socio-technical structural conditions, lead often concomitant harms benefits. These pathways theoretically plausible causal chains that from specific manifestation practice an individual well-being-related outcome with some regularity. Future studies should prioritize descriptive validity formal theory development.

Intensive longitudinal data (34,930 assessments in total) were collected through a preregistered three-week experience sampling method among 387 adolescents. N = 1 time series investigated, using Dynamic Structural Equation Modeling. Findings showed that different types very rarely yielded within one same adolescent: 45% adolescents experienced no changes well-being due to any three use, 28% only declines well-being, 26% increases Only adolescent theoretically expected effect pattern positive private negative use. Together, findings suggest active–passive dichotomy research is less clear-cut than it might seem.
