  • From the screen to the bed

    Open AccessCourtney Medina, Chelly Maes et al.ARTICLEBody Image2026

    In an era when social media presents unprecedented opportunities for self-objectification, research is needed to understand how online and offline self-objectification processes are related to emerging adults’ sexual well-being. In this brief report, we report results from a cross-sectional study examining associations among appearance-related social media consciousness (ASMC), body consciousness during sexual activity, and sexual assertiveness a…

Implications for future research to examine the role of subjective social media experiences in adolescents' depressive symptoms are discussed.

  • Picture perfect during a pandemic? Body image concerns and depressive symptoms in U.S. adolescent girls during the Covid-19 lockdown

    Sophia Choukas-Bradley, Anne J Maheux et al.ARTICLEJournal of Children and Media2022

    The stay-at-home orders of the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted U.S. adolescents’ lives in numerous ways during the spring of 2020, including substantial changes to in-person routines and increased reliance on digital media. For adolescent girls, stay-at-home practices may have implications for body image concerns. In this research brief, we examine adolescent girls’ pandemic-related body image concerns and longitudinal associations with depressive sy…

We qualitatively examined how rural SGM youth seek emotional and informational support, which are protective factors for social isolation on social media (SM) regarding their SGM identity, and determined which SM platforms and tools are most effective in providing support…

  • Selfie appearance investment and peer feedback concern

    Open AccessJacqueline Nesi, Yuniastuti Yuniastuti et al.ARTICLEPsychology of Popular Media2021

    Sharing "selfies" on social media is common among adolescents. The frequency with which adolescents post selfies may be less important than behaviors and cognitions underlying selfie-posting, and these practices may differ by gender. This multi-method study explored selfie practices in a school-based sample of 639 adolescents ( M age =17.6; 53.5% female). Participants completed self-report measures of selfie practices, body esteem, depressive sym…

    During the COVID-19 pandemic, some ways of using social media-such as directly communicating with friends-may have helped adolescents thrive. We examined longitudinal associations between high school adolescents' social media use and gratitude across a 15-month period before and during the pandemic (n = 704, M age = 15.10; 52% girls). The trajectories of gratitude and the importance of social media for meaningful conversations with friends-but no…
