  • “I Do Not See Eye to Eye With My Parents”

    Open AccessTommaso Galeotti, Ina M Koning et al.ARTICLEHuman Behavior and Emerging…2026

    Parental phubbing, the act of parents moving their attention to their smartphone instead of engaging with their children, has been associated with negative consequences for adolescents′ health. However, most studies rely on single informant reports, which do not account for both parents and adolescents′ perceptions of the behavior and can provide biased results. Based on the Operations Triad Model, this cross‐sectional study examines the associat…

  • Adolescent gamers

    Open AccessBas van Nierop, Saskia Wijsbroek et al.ARTICLECurrent Psychology2026

    The debate regarding adolescent video gaming often oscillates between fears of potential risks and hopes for benefits, yet few studies examine how gaming behaviors evolve individually over time. This study addresses the need for longitudinal research by identifying distinct developmental trajectories of gaming and their relationship with psychosocial functioning (self-esteem, life satisfaction, and social competence). We utilized four waves of lo…

  • Adolescent social media use profiles

    Open AccessFederica Angelini, Ina M Koning et al.ARTICLEComputers in Human Behavior2026

    Early adolescence is a crucial period for social and emotional development, with relationships with close friends shaping individual and social well-being. Today, these interactions occur both offline and online, requiring nuanced theoretical models to capture their complexities. Using a three-wave longitudinal, person-centered approach, this study aims to: (1) identify distinct social media use profiles based on specific online activities, (2) e…

  • Global change in adolescent social media use (2018–2022)

    Open AccessClaudia Marino, Michela Bersia et al.ARTICLEComputers in Human Behavior2025

    Given growing concerns about the role of social media in adolescents' lives, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, this study investigates changes in social media use (SMU) between 2018 and 2022 across 28 countries. The main aim is to detect any change in adolescents' SMU, as reflected in the rates of four categories of social media users (i.e., non-active users, active users, intense users, and problematic users) between 2018 and 2022, and exp…

  • Problematic social media use in childhood and adolescence

    Open AccessC Montag, Zsolt Demetrovics et al.ARTICLEAddictive Behaviors2024

    At the time of writing, about 4.59 billion people use social media with many adolescents using their social media accounts across a myriad of applications and platforms. According to recent statistics, in 2022 individuals spent an average of 151 minutes on social media each day, illustrating the global relevance of social media (Dixon, 2022a,b). One of the pressing questions, internationally, is whether social media use is harmful and/or addictiv…

  • From greenwashing to screenwashing

    Open AccessIna M Koning, Regina J J M Van Den Eijnden et al.ARTICLEJournal of Behavioral Addictions2024

    In this viewpoint, we introduce the term ‘screenwashing’, which describes the phenomenon whereby social media platforms, such as TikTok and Instagram, pretend to be more socially responsible than they actually are. That is, social media platforms pretend to be thoughtful about children's health and the prevention of problematic social media use, but this often turns out to be nothing more than “a lick of paint”. We describe how features like the …

  • Why We Can’t Stop

    Open AccessDavide Pirrone, Regina J J M Van Den Eijnden et al.ARTICLEMedia Psychology2024

    This study explored the association between rewarding elements in videogames and adolescents’ problematic gaming behavior, evaluating the extent to which individual vulnerabilities amplify this relationship. In a two-cohort-design the impact of rewarding elements on adolescents’ problematic gaming was investigated: the first cohort consisted of 2708 secondary school students (53.9% male, M = 13.9 SD = 1.20), and the second cohort of 1616 (54.2% m…

  • The bidirectional relationships between fear of missing out, problematic social media use and adolescents’ well-being

    Open AccessYanyu Li, Ina M Koning et al.ARTICLEComputers in Human Behavior2024

    Problematic social media use (PSMU) is a societal problem, which impacts adolescents' well-being. Fear of missing out (FoMO) has been suggested as a core risk factor predicting both PSMU and adolescents' well-being. However, longitudinal research on the directionality of these relationships is scarce. The present study aims to fill this knowledge gap by testing the bidirectional relationships between FoMO, PSMU and adolescents’ life satisfaction …

  • Bidirectional Within-Family Effects of Restrictive Mediation Practices and Adolescents’ Problematic Social Media Use

    Open AccessSuzanne M Geurts, Helen G M Vossen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Youth and Adolescence2024Referências: 51

    Much remains unknown about whether restrictive mediation is an effective parenting strategy to prevent or reduce problematic social media use among adolescents. Therefore, this study examined bidirectional within-family effects between two restrictive mediation practices (rule-setting and reactive restrictions) and problematic social media use using random-intercept cross-lagged panel modeling. Three-wave survey data collected among Dutch adolesc…

  • Social and Economic Indicators of Psychological Symptoms and Life Satisfaction Among Dutch and Hong Kong Adolescents

    Open AccessTom Ter Bogt, Margreet De Looze et al.ARTICLECross-Cultural Research2024Citada por: 2Referências: 64

    Adolescent mental health and life satisfaction are grounded in social and economic factors. However, studies investigating these relations across European and Asian contexts, using identical questionnaires, are scarce. The 2017/18 Health Behaviour of School-aged Children (HBSC) study conducted with 4,168 Dutch adolescents ( Mage 13.0 years) and 1,948 Hong Kong adolescents ( Mage 13.1 years) aged 11, 13, and 15 reported on family status and afflue…

  • A cross-sectional study on gaming intensity and social vulnerability in adolescents that have a chronic condition

    Open AccessDionysis Alexandridis, Sanne L Nijhof et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Background: Adolescents growing up with a chronic condition might experience more social vulnerabilities compared to their healthy peers as an indirect result of their conditions. This can lead to a relatedness need frustration for these adolescents. Consequently, they might spend more time playing video games compared to their peers. Research shows that both social vulnerability and gaming intensity are predictors for problematic gaming. Therefo…

  • A cross-national comparison of problematic gaming behavior and well-being in adolescents

    Open AccessDamian van der Neut, 俊一郎 小島 et al.ARTICLEJournal of Behavioral Addictions2023

    Background and aims. The popularity of playing games among adolescents has increased during the last decades, possibly affecting the prevalence of problematic gaming behavior. The current study aimed to compare country-level prevalence rates of adolescents' problematic gaming behavior in five countries and identify cross-cultural similarities and differences in the relationship between problematic gaming and well-being (life satisfaction, psychol…

  • The influence of parents and peers on adolescents’ problematic social media use revealed

    Open AccessMerel M L Leijse, Ina M Koning et al.ARTICLEComputers in Human Behavior2023

    Nowadays, parents, caretakers, teachers and researchers have an increasing interest in the development and consequences of problematic social media use, especially among adolescents. A growing body of research investigates factors that may influence the development of problematic social media use. This study examined the role of the broader context of parental (time spent with parents and family support), peer (peer support and peer pressure), an…

  • Can an equal world reduce problematic social media use? Evidence from the Health Behavior in School-aged Children study in 43 countries

    Matteo Lenzi, Frank J Elgar et al.ARTICLEInformation Communication & Society2023

    Research on the social determinants of Problematic Social Media Use (PSMU) among adolescents is scant and focused on proximal contexts and interpersonal relationships. This study examines the relation of PSMU with economic inequality, measured at country, school and individual levels. It also evaluated the moderating role of family and peer support in these associations. The 2017/18 Health Behavior in School-aged Children (HBSC) study measured PS…

  • Predicting Adolescents’ Problematic Social Media Use From Profiles of Internet-Specific Parenting Practices and General Parenting Dimensions

    Open AccessSuzanne M Geurts, Ina M Koning et al.ARTICLEJournal of Youth and Adolescence2023Citada por: 1Referências: 58

    Although both Internet-specific and general parenting have been linked to adolescents’ problematic social media use, until now they have been investigated as separate predictors of this behavior. As specific parenting practices occur in the broader general parenting context, this study examined how different Internet-specific parenting practices (Internet-specific rule setting, reactive restrictions towards Internet use, and co-use) and general p…

  • Problematic smartphone use and the quantity and quality of peer engagement among adolescents

    Open AccessShuang Su, Helle Larsen et al.ARTICLEComputers in Human Behavior2022

    Problematic smartphone use (PSU) has recently attracted a lot of attention, especially among adolescents. The knowledge about the role peer engagement might play in the development of PSU is still limited. We aimed to investigate the bidirectional relationships between PSU, the quantity of online (i.e., passive and active social media messaging on smartphone) and offline peer engagement (i.e., intensity of face-to-face meeting with friends) and t…

  • International perspectives on social media use among adolescents

    Open AccessMeyran Boniel-Nissim, Regina J J M Van Den Eijnden et al.ARTICLEComputers in Human Behavior2022

    In the present study, we aimed to explore the relationship between intensity of social media use (SMU), problematic SMU and well-being outcomes. Four categories of SMU were developed taking into account both intensity of use and problematic SMU simultaneously: non-active; active; intense; and problematic use. Using these four categories, we assessed associations between SMU and mental and social well-being, and substance use. Data from 190,089 re…

  • The complex association between social media use intensity and adolescent wellbeing

    Open AccessMaartje Boer, Gonneke W J M Stevens et al.ARTICLEComputers in Human Behavior2022

    The present study examined five possible explanations for the mixed findings on the association between adolescents' social media use (SMU) intensity and wellbeing. Particularly, it investigated whether the association between SMU intensity and life satisfaction depended on (1) the type of SMU activity the adolescent engaged in, (2) the (non)linearity of the association, (3) individual differences, (4) inclusion of SMU problems, and (5) the level…

  • The course of problematic social media use in young adolescents

    Open AccessMaartje Boer, Gonneke W J M Stevens et al.ARTICLEChild Development2022

    Using four waves of longitudinal data collected in 2015–2019 from 1419 Dutch adolescents (Mage = 12.5, 45.9% female, 21.9% immigrant), this study identified trajectories of problematic social media use (SMU) in parallel with trajectories of SMU frequency. Latent class growth analysis identified two subgroups with relatively high levels of problematic SMU over time: One showed high (24.7%) and one showed average SMU frequency (15.8%). Also, two su…

  • Pornography Use Profiles and the Emergence of Sexual Behaviors in Adolescence

    Open AccessDavide Pirrone, Mariëlle Zondervan-Zwijnenburg et al.ARTICLEArchives of Sexual Behavior2022

    This research longitudinally explored adolescent pornography (porn) consumption and its association with sexual development in early and middle adolescence. A four-wave design with half-year intervals investigated pornography consumption and different (sexual) activities, such as masturbation, French kissing, petting, giving/receiving manual and oral sex, and intercourse, among 630 respondents (47.9% female, mean age 13.7 years; SD = 0.48) years …

  • Social media use intensity, social media use problems, and mental health among adolescents

    Open AccessMaartje Boer, Gonneke W J M Stevens et al.ARTICLEComputers in Human Behavior2021

    Social media have become increasingly integrated into the daily lives of adolescents. There are concerns about the potential detrimental effects of adolescents' social media use (SMU) on their mental health. Using a three-wave longitudinal study among 2109 secondary school adolescents (Mage = 13.1, SDage = 0.8), the present study examined whether high SMU intensity and addiction-like SMU problems were bidirectionally associated with low mental he…

  • Social Media Use and Adolescents’ Sleep

    Open AccessRegina J J M Van Den Eijnden, Suzanne M Geurts et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    The popularity of social media use among adolescents has raised concerns about the potentially harmful effects of social media use on adolescents' sleep. Since longitudinal research considering this relationship is scarce, the present two-wave longitudinal study of 2021 secondary school students (M age = 13.86, SD = 1.25) examined whether frequency of social media use and problematic social media use predicted adolescents' bedtime and quality of …
