Does social media use make us happy? A meta-analysis on social media and positive well-being outcomes
In social media use research on mental health, a comprehensive summary of the association between social media use and “positive” well-being in all its nuances, including different well-being indicators considered separately, is lacking. To fill the gap, we carried out a meta-analytic review of the literature by including 78 studies published between 2009 and September 2022. In our meta-analyses, we explored the association between social media u…
Digital Media Use and Adolescents' Mental Health During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The Covid-19 physical distancing measures had a detrimental effect on adolescents' mental health. Adolescents worldwide alleviated the negative experiences of social distancing by spending more time on digital devices. Through a systematic literature search in eight academic databases (including Eric, Proquest Sociology, Communication & Mass Media Complete, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Pubmed, and Web of Scienc…
How do depression, duration of internet use and social connection in adolescence influence each other over time? An extension of the RI-CLPM including contextual factors
There are opposing views on the relationship between adolescents’ use of the Internet and their well-being, e.g. the Internet-enhanced self-disclosure hypothesis and the Evolutionary mismatch model, which give an opposite picture of the dynamics that may lead to positive versus adverse effects, respectively. Hence, the present paper aims to shed light on the bidirectional longitudinal relationships between the duration of Internet use, social con…
Parental Knowledge of Children’s Screen Time
The ubiquity of media in children’s lives makes it increasingly difficult for parents to keep track of their children’s screen time, leading to considerable discrepancies in parent- and child-report. In the present study, we aimed to examine if and how these discrepancies can be explained by parent-child communication, in terms of children’s self-disclosure, secrecy, and parental solicitation, and to what extend the quality of the parent-child re…
Screen time and adolescents' mental health before and after the Covid-19 lockdown in Switzerland
These results align with literature indicating a small but negative effect of social media time on mental health. Underlying mechanisms are manifold, including increased exposure to COVID-19 news, heightened fear of missing out, social comparison, and time-displaced for activities such as physical activity and green time. However, in line with the structured days hypothesis , getting involved in media-structured activities like television viewing…
How smartphone use becomes problematic
Smartphones have become a ubiquitous part of adolescents' life, and studies have repeatedly revealed a positive association between smartphone use (SU) and problematic smartphone use (PSU). However, longitudinal research investigating the reciprocal relationship among SU and PSU during adolescence are scarce, and studies that take into consideration personality traits as predisposing factors are lacking. This study used survey data collected annu…
The Relationship between Social Anxiety, Smartphone Use, Dispositional Trust, and Problematic Smartphone Use
Heavy smartphone users as well as socially anxious individuals, with the tendency of trusting others, are more at risk of PSU, which can be explained by their preference and search for online connections
The impact of self-esteem, family and peer cohesion on social appearance anxiety in adolescence
The aim of the present study was to investigate the longitudinal relationships between self-esteem, family and peer cohesion, and social appearance anxiety (SAA) by considering the mediating role of adaptive (e.g., problem-solving) and maladaptive (e.g., rumination) coping strategies and the moderating role of gender. Data were collected via self-administered questionnaires in 2018 and 2019 in a sample of 1085 adolescents. Applying Structural Equ…
Predicting problematic smartphone use over time in adolescence
Despite today’s ubiquitous nature of smartphones among adolescents, little is known about behavioural online and offline longitudinal predictors of problematic smartphone use (PSU). Guided by Uses and Gratifications Theory, we applied latent class analysis on survey data collected in 2017 from a cohort of 1096 adolescents ( M age = 12.4, SD age = 0.56) and regressed PSU measured 1 year later on class membership, controlling for socio-demographic …
Cyberbullying Perpetration and Victimization in Youth
Cyberbullying perpetration (CP) and victimization (CV) are prevalent issues in adolescent development. However, previous meta-analyses focused only on cross-sectional findings. The present study aims to meta-analytically summarize 56 longitudinal studies on CP, CV, and related factors in children and adolescents. Forty meta-analyses on CP and CV as both predictors and outcomes of person-related, Internet activity-related, and contextual factors w…
