Deprivation's role in adolescent social media use and its links to life satisfaction
Adolescents spend more time on social media than ever, making it necessary to understand the impact of social media use on their well-being. A largely unexplored, but potentially important, risk factor which may moderate effects of social media on well-being is material deprivation. Using 10-wave longitudinal data from 23,155 adolescents collected between 2009 and 2019, we test whether adolescents who spend more time on social media report lower …
The Interrelationships Between Adolescents’ Online Affective Perceptions and Momentary Affect
Adolescents’ moods have been shown to affect the way in which they perceive their social media use. So far, studies have not investigated reciprocal relationships between moods and perceptions of social media use. The current study used an experience sampling methodology to examine reciprocal relationships between momentary (positive/negative) affect, and adolescents’ (positive/negative) perceptions of their social media use both between and with…

Stay Home, Drink at Home? A Daily Diary Study on College Students’ Alcohol and Social Media Use during the Covid-19 Pandemic
BACKGROUND: COVID-19 and measures to contain it may have impacted college students' behavior, including their drinking behavior. Students' drinking may have decreased-for example, due to the closure of bars-but problematic drinking may have increased-for example, due to (solitary) drinking at home. Another behavior that has increased due to COVID-19 and the accompanying social isolation is students' social networking site (SNS) use. This is worri…

The temporality and accessibility of message types (Tamt) model
Scholars have indicated that social media contribute to various health-related behaviors (e.g., substance use, body dissatisfaction) among adolescents. This study adds to the literature on health-related social media effects through theoretical advances supported by empirical evidence. First, we introduce the TAMT model, in which we assess the media environment along a continuum of two dimensions: the temporality (from ephemeral to persistent) an…
Nature and Extent of Quantitative Research in Social Work Journals
This study reviews 1,406 research articles published between 2016 and 2020 in the European Journal of Social Work (EJSW), the British Journal of Social Work (BJSW) and Research on Social Work Practice (RSWP). It assesses the proportion and complexity of quantitative research designs amongst published articles and investigates differences between the journals. Furthermore, the review investigates the complexity of the statistical methods employed …
Coronavirus
In this study, a social media analysis is conducted to examine the public discourse about the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic on Twitter. In particular, this study aims to examine (a) how the number of tweets varies as a function of the timeline of the pandemic and associated measures and (b) how the content of these tweets, including displayed emotions, changes. Therefore, 373,908 tweets and retweets from Be…
Mothers Matter
Exposure to online drinking on social media is associated with real-life alcohol consumption. Building on the Theory of planned behavior, the current study substantially adds to this line of research by identifying the predictors of sharing drunk references on social media. Based on a cross-sectional survey among 1639 adolescents with a mean age of 15 (59% female), this study compares and discusses multiple regression tree algorithms predicting t…
