“…Moreover, the hierarchical regression results showed that only in-person SIS, without the effect of age or gender, predicted well-being as the adolescents reported. These results align with previous studies (e.g., Gómez-López et al, 2019;Leme et al, 2015;Vannucci & McCauley Ohannessian, 2019) suggesting various social skills as potential predictors of adolescent psychological well-being. In addition, they support previous evidence on the critical role of good SIS among adolescents, including the ability to manage emotions and thoughts and build social relationships, as protective factors for mental health (García-Carrión et al, 2019).…”

IntroductionHigh‐quality social interactions with peers could protect adolescents' mental health, resilience, and well‐being. Assessing their social interaction skills (SIS) is essential to enhancing them. However, few instruments provide information about SIS in in‐person and social media environments. The SIS Questionnaire (SISQ) was developed to fill this gap, spotlighting adolescents' viewpoints on SIS in both environments. This study aimed to describe the SISQ development and psychometric properties, differences in adolescents' SIS in both environments, and relationships between the adolescents' SIS and subjective well‐being.MethodsA total of 214 typically developed adolescents aged 12–18 (M = 15.3 years, SD = 1.77; 61.2% girls) completed online questionnaires (demographic, SISQ, and Five Well‐Being Index). We used exploratory factor analysis for construct validity, Cronbach's alpha for internal reliability, t‐tests for differences in SIS, Cohen's d for effect sizes, and Pearson correlations and hierarchical regression for relationships between SIS and well‐being.ResultsThe SISQ has content validity and a monofactorial scale construct validity with very good internal reliability. Participants rated their in‐person SIS significantly higher than on social media, t(213) = −5.24, p < 0.001, d = 0.36, and the in‐person environment as more important, t(213) = −11.57, p < 0.001, d = 0.79, than the social media environment. A significant correlation was found between both in‐person SIS (r = 0.41, p < 0.001) and social media (r = 0.34, p < 0.01) and well‐being.ConclusionThe SISQ is a valid, reliable tool for assessing adolescents' SIS, essential to promoting these skills in this unique environment.
