In this cross-sectional online survey study, 200 college student participants at a large state university (Mage = 19.93, SD = 1.72) were recruited. The online survey asked participants to self-identify as targets of cyberstalking; those who identified themselves as having had an experience…

    Rates of adolescent mood disorders and adolescent smartphone use have risen in parallel, leading some to suggest that smartphone use might have detrimental effects on adolescents' moods. Alternatively, it is possible that adolescents turn to smartphone use when experiencing negative mood. Past experimental study suggests that certain smartphone activities can reduce adolescents' negative moods or induce more positive moods, but little is known ab…

  • Disentangling Between-Person Level From Within-Person Level Relationships

    Femke Geusens, Y Anthony Chen et al.ARTICLEMedia Psychology2023

    A growing body of research supports that publicly displayed alcohol references on social media are positively associated with alcohol use among college students. However, unaddressed questions remain, particularly what types of alcohol references (i.e., alcohol use vs. intoxication) have such influence, and whether the association between sharing alcohol references on social media and drinking behavior is a within-person effect, or rather reflect…

    Media use among early adolescents is nearly ubiquitous and has been associated with important health outcomes such as physical activity, sleep and problematic internet use (PIU). Parent involvement has been recommended as a prevention strategy; it remains unclear how it is associated with media use and health outcomes. The purpose of this study was to develop profiles of media use, parent involvement and health outcomes among adolescents. Early a…

  • “Whenever you need support, you first turn to the group”

    Elise Healy, Gabrielle O’Malley et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2023

    Social support is a critical component of achieving positive health outcomes for youth living with HIV (YLWH). Mobile health (mHealth) has significant potential for providing social support to YLWH. However, little is known about the domains of social support most needed by YLWH which mHealth interventions might address. Drawing on the spontaneous creation of WhatsApp support groups by YLWH in Nairobi, Kenya, we characterized Kenyan YLWH's social…

Few studies have examined SM use and sleep using ecological momentary assessment (EMA), compared different types of media use (SM, television, gaming), or examined whether youth at high and low familial risk for depression are differentially affected by SM use. METHODS: The current study included 76 youth (46% female; Mean age = 11.28 ye…

  • Ideas for addressing electronic harassment among adolescents attending a video blogging convention

    Open AccessEllen Selkie, Yolanda N Evans et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    Findings demonstrate adolescent technology users' views on several creative strategies to prevent or intervene with electronic harassment. These strategies can be categorized using a socioecological framework, demonstrating potential to address electronic harassment on multiple levels. Many suggested responses involved the target of electronic harassment, rather than the perpetrator; future education efforts may require additional focus on perpet…

  • Facebook Displays as Predictors of Binge Drinking

    Open AccessJonathan D’Angelo, Bradley Kerr et al.ARTICLEBulletin of Science Technology &…2014

    Given the prevalence of social media, a nascent but important area of research is the effect of social media posting on one’s own self. It is possible that an individual’s social media posts may have predictive capacity, especially in relation to health behavior. Researchers have long used concepts from the theory of reasoned action to predict health behaviors. The theory does not account for social media, which may influence or predict health be…
