Endless Scrolling
Unhealthy social media habits may foster procrastination, leading to negative psychological and behavioral outcomes. The rising prevalence of procrastinatory short-form video (SFV) use (e.g., on TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts) highlights the need to better understand how established predictors of problematic media use operate in this emerging media environment. To address this gap, this study investigated the motivational factors underly…
Moralization of E-cigarette Use and Regulation
E-cigarette use, or vaping, is undergoing a process of moralization in which issues about vaping evolve from being morally neutral to having discernible moral implications. Using Moral Foundations Theory, this study compared the moral narratives underlying polarized views about e-cigarette use and regulation. We integrated computational and human strategies by conducting the Chow test on the time series data and classification, topic modeling, an…
Effects of #coronavirus content moderation on misinformation and anti-Asian hate on Instagram
This study evaluated the intended and unintended effects of Instagram’s content moderation on #coronavirus for both the short- and long-term effects on misinformation and anti-Asian sentiment. We performed manual coding of images ( N = 9648), and a series of supervised machine learning methods to classify three waves of comments ( N = 22,676) published in 2020 on Instagram. Welch’s F tests were used to compare misinformation, emotions, toxicity, …
Causal relationship between particulate matter 2.5 and hypothyroidism
Background Epidemiological surveys have found that particulate matter 2.5 (PM 2.5 ) plays an important role in hypothyroidism. However, due to the methodological limitations of traditional observational studies, it is difficult to make causal inferences. In the present study, we assessed the causal association between PM 2.5 concentrations and risk of hypothyroidism using two-sample Mendelian randomization (TSMR). Methods We performed TSMR by usi…
On sex, drugs, and alcohol
In the digital neighborhood, Black and Hispanic youth communicate about many issues facing youth, including sex and substance use. This population of young people is also disproportionately burdened by negative consequences associated with sex and substance use behaviors even when their behavior is less risky. Given the increased likelihood of negative outcomes, we investigated how young people talk about these behaviors in their digital social n…
