“…Such influence can be negative, particularly regarding aggression and violence and mental health-related outcomes. For example, one study found that viewing aggressive behavior on television was associated with sending aggressive text messages to friends, 50 and several studies found that exposure to the program 13 Reasons Why (which depicted a graphic suicide scene) was associated with suicidal ideation and self-injurious behavior among vulnerable adolescents. Other studies found evidence to support negative influences of exposure to popular television programs on adolescent body image, e-cigarette initiation, and sexual behavior under the influence of alcohol.…”

Objective To conduct a scoping review of published literature examining the influence of health storylines from fictional television programs on viewers. Data Source We performed literature searches in Medline, PsycINFO, and Mass Media Complete in October 2021, and examined bibliographies of included articles and conducted forward searching using Web of Science with included articles. Study Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria Selected studies were required to be original research published in English, involve exposure to fictional television programming by individuals not in the medical field, and assess associations between exposure and health-related outcomes. Data Extraction Article screening and data abstraction were performed by two independent researchers using DistillerSR (Cohen’s κ range: .73-1.00). Data Synthesis We analyzed and qualitatively described the data using methods of scoping reviews described by PRISMA-ScR. Results Of 5,537 unique records identified, 165 met inclusion criteria. The most frequently studied program was ER (n = 22, 13.3%). Most studies had adult participants (n = 116, 70.3%) and used quantitative methods (n = 136, 82.4%). The most frequently examined health topics were sexual behavior (n = 28, 17.0%) and mental health (n = 28, 17.0%). Exposure had a positive influence on viewers’ health-related outcomes in 28.5% (n = 47) of studies. Conclusion Health storylines on fictional television influence viewers. Future research could address gaps identified in this review to further elucidate the influence of this programming on health promotion and disease prevention.

“…Relational aggression is carried out directly by threatening to end a relationship or indirectly by spreading rumors/slander about specific individuals to others (Voulgaridou & Kokkinos, 2018). Relational aggression happens in various contexts of interpersonal relations, even in friendship, and several previous studies have examined this in friendship (Bass et al, 2018;Coyne et al, 2019).…”

The research examined the role of self-compassion and self-criticism as moderators and mediators in the relationship between relational aggression victimization and depression. Victimization of relational aggression had various negative consequences, one of which could be depression. However, few previous studies had examined moderator and mediator variables in the relationship between victimized relational aggression and depression. On the other hand, self-compassion and self-criticism could potentially be moderators and mediators between negative experiences and depression. The research used a cross-sectional approach involving 492 adolescents aged 12-21 years who had experienced victimization of relational aggression in the last three months. Analysis of moderators and mediators was used to test the hypothesis. The result shows that self-compassion does not act as a moderator and mediator. At the same time, self-criticism also does not act as a moderator but can mediate the relationship between relational aggression victimization and depression. It indicates that adolescents who get relational aggression from their friends tend to blame themselves excessively, which triggers feelings of depression. This finding indicates that adolescents tend to blame themselves after being victims of relational aggression, which eventually causes depression. Surprisingly, adolescents in Indonesia do not use self-compassion as a strategy in dealing with relational aggression by friends.

“…Contemporary adolescents engage in social aggression with peers in both digital and in-person contexts (Coyne, Ehrenreich, Holmgren, & Underwood, 2019; Underwood, 2003; Underwood & Ehrenreich, 2016), and the extent to which they are exposed to peers’ socially aggressive digital communication may foster the development of their own social aggression. This study examined exposure to peers’ social aggression by capturing the content of every text message that adolescents sent to and received from peers in two 2-day periods.…”

This study examined whether adolescents’ social aggression is socialized through exposure to peers’ socially aggressive text messaging. Using data on the socially aggressive content of text messages that 221 participants (Mage = 15.02 years; 46.7% female) sent to and received from peers, and teacher ratings of participants’ in-person social aggression, this study found that exposure to peers’ socially aggressive texting about out-dyad peers predicted positive changes in adolescents’ text-based and in-person social aggression. Gender differences were examined, and results were mixed. In ninth grade, girls sent more socially aggressive text messages than boys; however, by 10th grade, these differences disappeared. Gender differences in adolescents’ in-person social aggression and their exposure to peers’ socially aggressive texting were nonsignificant at both time points. There was no evidence of gender differences in the links between exposure to peers’ socially aggressive texting and adolescents’ socially aggressive texting. However, marginal differences were found in the associations between exposure to peers’ socially aggressive texting and adolescents’ in-person social aggression. Results suggest that texting provides an additional platform for peer socialization of adolescents’ social aggression.
