“…However, there were no effects of fear of missing out or feeling anxious or nervous to share on SM with SI at the between-person level, which may be more closely associated with anxiety than SI (Biglbauer & Lauri Korajlija, 2023;Charmaraman et al, 2022). These results are consistent with previous research that has highlighted how negative SM experiences, like cyberbullying (John et al, 2018;Van Geel et al, 2014), are associated with self-harm or suicidal behaviors in teens, but extends these findings to other types of negative SM experiences (Nesi et al, 2019).…”

Background: Social media (SM) has received considerable attention as a potential risk factor for adolescent suicide. Few empirical studies, however, have examined adolescents’ daily negative and positive experiences on SM and its proximal impacts on suicidal ideation (SI), particularly using intensive monitoring designs. Method: Adolescents (N= 60; 14-17 years; 49% girls; 62% LGBTQ+) recruited using SM across the United States and participated in an 8-week intensive monitoring protocol. Ecological momentary assessment (3 brief surveys per day) asked about negative and positive SM experiences and SI (passive and active). Multilevel modeling was used to evaluate the within-person relationships between daily SM experiences (e.g., individual fluctuations compared to a person’s average) and SI, controlling for average levels of SM experiences, SM use screen time, and lifetime SI. Results: Significant within-person effects of negative and positive SM experiences were associated with days when adolescents had SI. Specifically, on days when teens endorsed more frequent negative SM experiences than usual, they were more likely to report SI. However, more positive SM experiences than usual were associated with a lower likelihood of having SI. There were no significant effects of SM use (“screen time”) on SI or on the reverse associations of SI on next-day SM experiences. Conclusions: Results indicate that SM experiences may be dynamic and modifiable risk and protective factors for SI in adolescents, whereas there is no effect of SM screen time on SI. Our results highlight that targeting negative SM experiences and augmenting the positive experiences on SM may be critical targets to improve teens’ mental health and prevent suicide, rather than focusing on limiting SM screen time.

“…En primer lugar, a medida que aumentaban los niveles de ansiedad también lo hacían los de comparación social ascendente, tal como sugerían otras investigaciones previas (Biglbauer & Lauri Korajlija, 2023;Butzer & Kuiper, 2006;McCarthy & Morina, 2020). Esta asociación podría explicarse por los elevados niveles de presión percibida que suelen experimentar las personas durante las etapas de la adolescencia.…”

“…Numerous studies have delved into the association between the frequency and duration of social media use and the symptoms of depression, [20][21][22] as well as examining the impact of different types of user engagement, such as active and passive use, on mental health. [23][24][25] Additionally, substantial research has focused on analyzing the linguistic characteristics of content shared by individuals with depression on social platforms. 26,27 Efforts have also been made to identify and predict depressive symptoms using technologies like natural language processing.…”

Purpose How individuals engage with social media can significantly impact their psychological well-being. This study examines the impact of social media interactions on mental health, grounded in the frameworks of the Elaboration Likelihood Model and Schema Activation Theory. It aims to uncover behavioral differences in information sharing between the general population and individuals with depression, while also elucidating the psychological mechanisms underlying these disparities. Methods A pre-experiment (N=30) and three experiments (Experiment 1a N=200, Experiment 1b N=180, Experiment 2 N=128) were executed online. These experiments investigated the joint effects of information quality, content valence, self-referential processing, and depression level on the intention to share information. The research design incorporated within-subject and between-subject methods, utilizing SPSS and SPSS Process to conduct independent sample t-tests, two-factor ANOVA analyses, mediation analyses, and moderated mediation analyses to test our hypotheses. Results Information quality and content valence significantly influence sharing intention. In scenarios involving low-quality information, individuals with depression are more inclined to share negative emotional content compared to the general population, and this tendency intensifies with the severity of depression. Moreover, self-referential processing acts as a mediator between emotional content and intention to share, yet this mediation effect weakens as the severity of depression rises. Conclusion Our study highlights the importance of promoting viewpoint diversity and breaking the echo chamber effect in social media to improve the mental health of individuals with depression. To achieve this goal, tailoring emotional content on social media could be a practical starting point for practice.
