Patterns of Digital and In-Person Sexual Behaviors Among Adolescents
Technology offers new opportunities for adolescents to engage in sexual activity and experimentation. Most research has examined online and offline behaviors in isolation, rather than considering how these experiences co-occur in diverse ways for youth and associate with sexual well-being. This study identified subclasses of adolescents based on their frequency of engagement in consensual online and offline sexual behaviors over the past three mo…
Beyond screen-time
From the screen to the bed
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…
How Appearance‐Related Avoidance Relates to Anxiety in Early Adolescence
Research on appearance‐related avoidance behaviors and their links to anxiety in early adolescence is limited. This study used three‐wave data across one academic year to examine how appearance‐related avoidance behaviors (assessed at Wave 1) predict anxiety symptoms (measured at Waves 1–3) using zero‐inflated negative binomial (ZINB) mixed‐effects growth models. Participants included 1426 adolescents ( M age = 12.2; 45.9% girls, 44.4% boys, 9.6%…
Digital Sexual Communication Among Adolescents
Communication with romantic and sexual partners is important for adolescent well-being. Features of digital media, such as limited social cues and asynchronous messaging, transform social interactions, yet the effects of digital affordances on adolescent partner communication remain unclear. In the current study, U.S. adolescents (n = 404, M age = 15) reported the channel(s) of communication (Exclusively In-Person, Exclusively Digital, Both In-Pe…

Intimate disclosure in online‐only friendships predicts adolescents' depressive symptoms
Adolescents frequently use social media to form online-only friendships (OOFs; i.e., friendships that are exclusive to digital platforms), raising questions about their emotional impact. While OOFs may provide social support and increase well-being, they could also displace in-person relationships or increase exposure to online risks. This study examined longitudinal associations between OOFs, intimate disclosure within these friendships, and dep…
Early Adolescents' Attitudes Towards and Interest in Care‐Oriented Heed Professions
INTRODUCTION: Healthcare, early education, and domestic (HEED) fields refer to feminine-typed care-oriented workforce domains. HEED fields remain dominated by women, yet this disparity and its developmental antecedents are often overlooked. This study investigated factors associated with early adolescents' interest in HEED professions. METHODS: US early adolescent participants (n = 1707; Mage = 12.29; 46% girls, 44% boys, 9.5% another gender iden…
Annual Research Review
Social media have drastically changed the context of adolescent development. To date, the majority of research investigating the effects of these changes has measured time spent on social media, yielding inconclusive results—likely because this approach conceptualizes social media as a monolith. Social media experiences are complex and diverse, as are adolescents themselves. Emerging research has identified several specific components of social m…

Parents’ attitudes towards the content of sex education in the USA
While most parents support their adolescents receiving school-based sex education, there is variability in which sex education topics receive the most support from parents. Conservative political orientation and greater religiosity have been independently associated with parents’ lack of support for school-based sex education; however, no studies have examined the intersection of these two factors. The three goals of this study were to: 1) identi…
Structural homophobia and suicidal ideation and behavior among sexual and gender minority adolescents
Sexual and gender minority (SGM) adolescents have high risk for suicidal behavior, and structural homophobia could contribute to inequities in suicidal ideation and behavior among SGM youth. Limited prior research has examined how comprehensive indicators of structural homophobia are related to suicidal ideation and behavior among SGM adolescents. Anti-gay legislation has been increasing in many states, and studies that enhance our understanding …
Sexual Consent Cognitions and Consent-Seeking Behaviors Among U.S. Adolescents
Longitudinal Change in Appearance-Related Social Media Consciousness and Depressive Symptoms
Online appearance preoccupation may put adolescents at risk of developing mental health challenges, perhaps especially during early-to-middle adolescence. A random intercept cross-lagged panel model assessed within-person associations between appearance-related social media consciousness and depressive symptoms over three time-points with three months between waves. The sample ( n = 1594) included U.S. adolescents aged 11–15 ( M age = 13; 47% gir…
Bidirectional associations between online and offline appearance concerns during early-to-middle adolescence
During early and middle adolescence, individuals are at heightened risk of poor body image and subsequent negative mental health outcomes, and the highly visual nature of social media may play a role in this process. It remains unclear, however, if appearance preoccupation on social media-such as appearance-related social media consciousness (ASMC)-influences offline body image, or if preexisting body image concerns influence online appearance pr…

Behavioral Measures to Assess Adolescent Sexual Communication with Partners
Sexual communication with partners is important for adolescents’ sexual and socioemotional well-being. Behavioral assessments of partner sexual communication capture the complex and nuanced process of communication and are commonly used with adults, yet the existing literature among adolescents overwhelmingly relies on self-report measures. In the current paper, we reviewed the literature on adolescent partner sexual communication, identifying 14…

Understanding affirmative sexual consent is crucial for violence prevention and health promotion, yet few adolescents receive adequate consent education. The current study aimed to evaluate the acceptability and preliminary efficacy of a brief online program designed to teach adolescents information and skills about communicating and interpreting affirmative sexual consent (PACT: Promoting Affirmative Consent among Teens) in a randomized controll…

Longitudinal associations between appearance‐related social media consciousness and adolescents' depressive symptoms
The findings highlight the importance of physical appearance concerns on social media-above and beyond the frequency of use-in the development of depressive symptoms among adolescents. 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
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…
Support over Social Media among Socially Isolated Sexual and Gender Minority Youth in Rural U.S. during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Sexual and gender minority (SGM) rural adolescents are at risk for higher levels of social isolation, a well-known risk factor for depression and other negative health outcomes. 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…
Sexual Communication between Adolescent Partners
Sexual communication between adolescent partners is an important component of sexual health and wellbeing. Over 40 years of research on adolescent sexual communication has yielded rich information, yet there remain gaps in our understanding of the communication process. The purpose of this scoping review was to synthesize the body of research on adolescent sexual communication to identify how communication has been conceptualized, how researchers…

Understanding Adolescents’ Attitudes Toward Affirmative Consent
A clear understanding of sexual consent is important for sexual violence prevention. To date, most research has focused on how college students understand and negotiate consent. Although adolescence is a critical period for the development of sexual attitudes, identity, and intimate relationships, the perspectives of high school-aged youth have been largely absent from the consent literature. The current study investigated adolescents' attitudes …

Examining Sexual Behavior Among U.S. Transgender Adolescents
The health of transgender adolescents (i.e., those identifying with a gender other than their sex assigned at birth) is gaining attention from researchers, yet little work has examined normative sexual behaviors among this population. Self-identified gender minority adolescents, including those identifying as trans boys, trans girls, nonbinary, and questioning their gender identity (age range 14-18, M age = 16, n = 1,223) from all 50 U.S. states …

Depressive symptoms among mostly heterosexual adolescents
Background Mostly heterosexual adolescents experience heightened depressive symptoms compared to heterosexual adolescents, though prior comparisons with other sexual minority adolescents have been inconsistent and rarely used a comprehensive measure of sexual orientation.Method U.S. high school adolescents were considered mostly heterosexual if they either (a) self-identified as mostly heterosexual or (b) identified as heterosexual but reported s…

Selfie appearance investment and peer feedback concern
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…
Examining the link between sexual self-concept and sexual communication among adolescents
The purpose of this study was to move beyond a sexual risk framework to investigate the possible associations among three sex-positive constructs for adolescents: their sexual self-concept (i.e., their positive/negative feelings about themselves as sexual beings), their sexual communication with romantic/sexual partners, and their sexual communication self-efficacy. We also examined differences in these constructs by sexual intercourse experience…

Grateful
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…
