“…Second, we elucidate the link between using digital media to connect with peers and momentary social experiences by using a robust, within‐subject research design that controls for between‐subject associations. We build on a body of literature that has focused on between‐subject associations for adolescents' digital media use (Ang et al, 2019; Barker, 2018; Sampasa‐Kanyinga et al, 2019), with a few notable recent exceptions (Achterhof et al, 2022; Anderl et al, 2023; Armstrong‐Carter et al, 2022; Beyens et al, 2020; Pouwels et al, 2021). This supports examining the momentary associations between adolescents' use of digital media for interactions and their corresponding sense of social connection within the same hour, instead of examining daily level associations or associations between adolescents.…”

For 14 days three times per day (6072 observations), adolescents (N = 207, Mage = 15.45 years) reported their digital (i.e., video chatting, texting, social media, and phone calling) communication with peers and their social connectedness. Controlling for in‐person interactions, adolescents felt more connected in hours when they had communicated with peers by video chatting, texting, or social media, but not phone calling. Girls communicated with peers via text and social media more than boys, and boys talked on the phone more than girls. Boys who talked, texted, or video chatted more on average reported higher connectedness on average, whereas girls did not. As the links with connectedness were only found at the hourly‐ and not the daily level, results highlight that a sense of connectedness from digital media may be fleeting in nature.

“…Mobile phone communication helps them overcome unpleasant and unwanted affective states (López‐Fernández et al., 2017). Barker (2018) finds that girls are more prone to social compensation when using mobile phones, which is reflected in searching personal contacts online if direct contacts are not perceived as satisfactory. In accordance with this, girls are also more prone than boys to use mobile phones for social identity gratification, which is characterised by a strong feeling of belonging to a virtual group of individuals similar to oneself.…”

Accessible summary The aim of this research was to identify possible differences in how non‐disabled adolescents and their peers identified with mild intellectual disability use mobile phones. The sample comprised 420 non‐disabled participants and 67 participants identified with mild intellectual disability. Non‐disabled adolescents used these devices more often than their peers identified with mild intellectual disability. Adolescents identified with mild intellectual disability should be encouraged to expand the use of mobile phones. Abstract BackgroundMobile phones are multifunctional devices which allow adolescents to belong to their peer group, communicate with them, and also expand their digital interactions. The aim of this research was to identify possible differences in the areas and ways of mobile phone use in non‐disabled adolescents and their peers identified with mild intellectual disability of both genders. Materials and MethodsThe sample comprised 420 non‐disabled participants and 67 participants identified with mild intellectual disability, aged 15–19 years in Serbia. Areas of mobile phone use were assessed through a questionnaire developed for this research, while the Mobile Phone Problem Use Scale was used to assess problematic mobile phone use. ResultsIn all assessed areas, it was observed that non‐disabled students used mobile phones more frequently, except in Skype video calls, which were used significantly more often by participants identified with mild intellectual disability. The obtained results demonstrate that girls used mobile phones more frequently than boys for schoolwork, daily communication with family and friends, fun activities, sending and receiving text messages, taking photographs, and making videos. With regard to problematic mobile phone use, a significant gender difference was observed only in the subsample of non‐disabled participants where girls used mobile phones in a problematic way much more frequently. ConclusionsAdolescents identified with mild intellectual disability should be encouraged to expand the use of mobile phones with appropriate monitoring and education so that their use does not become problematic.

“…Seeking social compensation is one primary motivation for mobile use for young adults (Barker, 2009(Barker, , 2018. In line with SCH, people with high social anxiety and low social competence typically feel uncomfortable with face-to-face interactions and have difficulties building relationships in offline communications.…”

PurposeAs the number of social media users continues to rise globally, a heated debate emerges on whether social media use improves or harms mental health, as well as the bidirectional relation between social media use and mental health. Motivated by this, the authors’ study adopts the stressor–strain–outcome model and social compensation hypothesis to disentangle the effect mechanism between social media use and psychological well-being. The purpose of this paper is to address this issue.Design/methodology/approachTo empirically validate the proposed research model, a large-scale two-year longitudinal questionnaire survey on social media use was administered to a valid sample of 6,093 respondents recruited from a university in China. Structural equation modeling was employed for data analysis.FindingsA longitudinal analysis reveals that social media use positively (negatively) impacts psychological well-being through the mediator of nomophobia (perceived social support) in a short period. However, social media use triggers more psychological unease, as well as more life satisfaction from a longitudinal perspective.Originality/valueThis study addresses the bidirectional relation between social media use and psychological unease. The current study also draws both theoretical and practical implications by unmasking the bright–dark duality of social media use on psychological well-being.
