“…57 Differences in adolescents' level of difficulty disengaging from social media at night may be driven by underlying individual factors: for example, those who are more concerned about ostracism have been shown to experience a stronger sense of obligation to respond to social media messages. 58 This can extend current models of adolescent technology use and sleep, by adding to identified factors that influence sleep-relevant technology behaviors. For example, Cain and Gradisar's model 23 (recently updated by Bartel and Gradisar) 24 notes parental involvement and flow as likely factors that influence technology habits that have implications for child and adolescent sleep.…”

Bedtime social media use is associated with poor sleep during adolescence, which in turn contributes to poor mental health, impaired daytime functioning and lower academic achievement. However, the underlying drivers for these bedtime social media habits remain understudied. Adolescents aged 11-17 years (n=24) participated in focus group discussions exploring their experiences of using social media, particularly at night. Inductive thematic analysis identified common themes relating to underlying drivers for social media use and associated impact on sleep. Our analyses identified two overarching themes: Missing Out and Norms & Expectations. Adolescents’ nighttime social media use was driven by concerns over negative consequences for real-world relationships if they disconnected (often reporting delayed bedtimes, insufficient sleep and daytime tiredness). These concerns included the risk of offline peer exclusion from missing out on online interactions, and the fear of social disapproval from violating norms around online availability and prompt responses. These findings offer novel insight into why adolescents may choose to prioritise social media over sleep. Educators, practitioners and policymakers can respond to the evolving needs of today’s adolescents by approaching social media use not as a technology-based activity, but as an embedded social experience underpinned by the same concerns as offline interactions.

“…Therefore, individuals who are concerned about possibly missing out may struggle at bedtime to stop not only using social media, but also thinking about possible social media interactions [8]. This is further fuelled by concerns over meeting perceived social expectations for 24/7 online availability and prompt responses [7][8][9], which may similarly extend social media activity at bedtime and also increase cognitive arousal even once disconnected.…”

“…Even when a platform remains prevalent, its specific features evolve over time, facilitating shifts in the social expectations and norms for how people engage with social media. For example, with the introduction of "read receipts", users can now see when a message has been viewed, which contributes to perceived obligation to respond quickly [8,9]. Therefore, in this rapidly evolving social media landscape, research measures can quickly become outdated and even relatively recent findings may not generalise beyond the specific platforms and devices in vogue at the time of data collection [2•, 64], as users' experiences are constantly changing.…”

“…Over recent decades, sleep and mental health researchers have followed changes in the media landscape, examining associated outcomes for prevalent forms of electronic media use: from TV viewing to video gaming to smartphone use [1•, 2•, 3-6]. Currently, the increasing connectivity offered by devices and platforms has facilitated not only increased time devoted to these media activities, but also important shifts in social norms and expectations around availability and etiquette for online interactions [7][8][9]. Therefore, social media use is receiving increasing attention independent from other forms of electronic media use, with researchers calling for improved understanding of its unique social, emotional and cognitive aspects in relation to sleep and mental health outcomes [10, 11••, 12, 13••, 14].…”

Purpose of Review Sleep and mental health researchers are increasingly recognising the need to update our approaches to understanding the unique social, emotional and cognitive aspects of social media use, rather than simply considering it as just another hour of total daily "screen time". In this review, we highlight some recent developments in this area, discuss ongoing challenges facing this field and offer recommendations for future steps. Recent Findings The sleep and mental health research literatures have made recent advances towards a more nuanced understanding of social media use: moving beyond a focus on simply duration of use, towards new insights into the role of content, context and experience of these online interactions. Summary As this research area moves forward, a focus on high-quality measurement-combined with collaborative multidisciplinary approaches that triangulate insight from different methodologies and perspectives-can inform a more holistic understanding of sleep and mental health in today's connected world.

“…A limitation of this research is that some participants may have engaged in face-saving work during focus group discussion as we addressed possibly sensitive things in a semipublic context (Bernstein et al, 2013), and some cared more about PDAs than others and realize it (Mai, Freudenthaler, Schneider, & Vorderer, 2015). The focus groups were at the larger end of recommendations for group size, and the format could have prevented some from sharing potentially embarrassing feelings, such as being more bothered than others at not receiving PDAs.…”

When Nobody “Likes” You: Perceived Ostracism Through Paralinguistic Digital Affordances Within Social Media

This research explores the processes of perceived ostracism ensuing from a lack of feedback via paralinguistic digital affordances (PDAs), the one-click tools (e.g., Likes and +1s) which are one of the most used features of social media, provided to an individual's posted social media content. The positive and negative psychological outcomes of social media communication have been well-documented. However, as social media have become entrenched as some of our most common communication channels, the absence of communication via social media has been underexplored and may have negative psychological and communicative outcomes. We utilized focus groups (N = 37) to examine perceptions of ostracism when individuals did not receive PDAs to their posted content across social media platforms. Participants reported feeling excluded only when they did not receive PDAs from select relationally close or socially superior network members, suggesting audience targeting and expectations when posting. Users frequently attributed low PDA counts to system and content factors. These results contribute to a developing understanding of the psychological effects of lack of communication via social media and provide insight for future research, demonstrating that social exclusion may not manifest from a complete lack of social interaction but rather may occur when individuals do not receive expected or desired feedback.
