INTRODUCTION: Most adolescents engage with social media in some capacity and the majority of research has focused on negative impacts of social media on adolescent development. However, adolescents use social media in ways that might contribute to positive youth development, as described by Lerner's (2012) Positive Youth Development framework. The current study examined the longitudinal associations between positive social media use and positive …
Chatbots and childhood
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly common, yet little research has explored its use during childhood. The current study examined two types of AI use (voice assistant and generative AI) and investigated whether such use is associated with problematic media use, as well as internalizing and externalizing behaviors in children. Participants included 474 children (M age = 7.48) and their parents, who completed surveys as…

The growth of problematic media use over early childhood
Patterns of parent media use
Longitudinal associations between parents' prosocial behavior and media use and young children's prosocial development
Research has found that media is associated with children's prosocial behavior (PB) from an early age, and that parents play a key role in children's media use and behavior. However, few studies explore these relations as early as infancy while also controlling for well‐established predictors of PB (e.g., empathic concern). Thus, the present study examined longitudinal associations between parents' PB and media use, and prosocial development duri…
I'll Walk with You
Research on LGBTQ+ individuals, belonging, and religiosity has been mixed. Some studies have illustrated the ways religion can harm LGBTQ+ individuals while others suggest religion has positive impacts. In the current study, we sought to understand this complexity by examining the experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals who have been or currently are affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (i.e. Mormon, LDS). A thematic analysis…
The more, the merrier? Young adults' sibling relationship quality in medium to large families
Approximately 80% of individuals from the United States have at least one sibling. Of those with siblings, a little more than half have two or more siblings. Yet, research on siblings across the life course, including young adulthood, has focused primarily on sibling dyads rather than larger sibling groups or multiple sibling dyads from the same family. The overarching aim of the current study was to explore the form and impacts of entire sibling…
Silencing screaming with screens
Many parents use screens to regulate their young children's emotions. We know very little, however, about how this parenting practice is related to the development of emotional competencies (i.e., emotional reactivity, emotion knowledge, and empathy) over time. The current longitudinal study examined bidirectional associations between media emotion regulation and various emotional competencies across a 1-year period during early childhood (betwee…
Reflections on manifesto writing
The manifesto is a hybrid, multivocal and multimodal form that can be used to generate and push into the public sphere radical new ideas, freeing its authors from the constraints of polite speech in times that call for urgent action. Activism within universities is on the rise, motivated by issues such as climate change, migration, race, gender, and institutional reform. The authors, both academics living in The Netherlands, started the Words in …
Co-designing convivial tools to support participation in community radio
Connectivity made possible by the diffusion of digital technologies has offered new possibilities for the public to interact with media, including radio. However, interactions are often framed by globally managed platforms, owned by companies with values based on maximizing profit, rather than prioritising Illich’s forms of conviviality. In this article, we draw on experiences from the Grassroot Wavelengths project that introduces an innovative p…
Bantu substratum interference in Mozambican Portuguese speech varieties
Bantu phonological constraints exert varying types of interference in the varieties of Portuguese spoken in Mozambique. While many of these processes – e. g. voicing dissimilation, consonant sequence simplification, and denasalization – are relatively well known among linguists specialized in the study of Mozambican Portuguese dialects, they have received only passing mention in the literature. Moreover, it is unclear from the available data how …
