“…However, adolescents’ reports of their frequency of social media use could be supplemented with passively collected phone‐based data in future work, which can measure frequency of use without recall bias. Ecological momentary assessment procedures may also help capture immediate affective responses to social media experiences, providing more information about the temporal unfolding of short‐ and long‐term effects of experiences on social media (e.g., Hamilton, Do, Choukas‐Bradley, Ladouceur, & Silk, 2021 ). Moreover, while the current study provides information about the unfolding of adolescents’ social media experiences and gratitude across four time points, causality cannot be determined without an experimental design.…”

During the COVID‐19 pandemic, some ways of using social media—such as directly communicating with friends—may have helped adolescents thrive. We examined longitudinal associations between high school adolescents’ social media use and gratitude across a 15‐month period before and during the pandemic ( n = 704, M age = 15.10; 52% girls). The trajectories of gratitude and the importance of social media for meaningful conversations with friends—but not frequency of social media use—were positively associated over time. At the within‐person level, gratitude predicted increased importance of social media for meaningful conversations, but not vice‐versa. Findings suggest that gratitude may be associated with and may motivate using social media to foster social connection, but may not increase overall social media use.

“…Participants included 93 adolescent girls aged 12–17 years (mean [SD] 15.06 [1.21] years) recruited from a larger longitudinal study ( N = 129) to evaluate the development of depression and anxiety symptoms among adolescent girls. The larger study sample was enriched to have two‐thirds of participants at temperamental risk of social anxiety and depression based on elevated scores (0.75 SD above the mean) on the Early Adolescent Temperament Questionnaire–Revised Version (EATQ‐R; Ellis & Rothbart, 2001 ; Hamilton et al, 2021a ). Adolescents were excluded from the larger study if they met criteria for current or past anxiety (except specific phobia), depressive, psychotic, or autism spectrum disorder at the time of recruitment.…”

“…In addition to changes in physical activity, adolescents are now turning to social media to stay socially connected during the physical isolation of the pandemic (Hamilton et al, 2021b ; Munasinghe et al, 2020 ). Social media broadly encompasses digital tools used for social interaction, including social networking sites (SNS), text messaging apps, and video chatting.…”

Summary Adolescents’ daily lives have been disrupted during the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. It remains unclear how changes in adolescents’ daily physical and social behaviours affect their sleep. The present study examined the daily and average effects of physical activity and social media use (i.e., video chatting, texting, and social networking sites) on adolescent girls’ sleep during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Adolescent girls aged 12–17 years ( N = 93; 69% White) from a larger longitudinal study completed a 10‐day daily diary protocol during state‐mandated stay‐at‐home orders. Girls reported on daily sleep (duration, timing, quality), physical activity, and social media use during COVID‐19. Multilevel modelling was used to examine the within‐ and between‐person effects of physical activity and social media on sleep duration, timing, and quality during the 10‐day period. Between‐person associations indicate that youth with greater social media use (texting, video chatting, and social networking) and less physical activity had later sleep timing across the 10‐day study period. Only video chatting was associated with shorter sleep duration. There were no within‐person effects of physical activity or social media activities on sleep outcomes. Findings indicate that physical activity and social media use may impact later adolescent sleep timing during the COVID‐19 pandemic. It will be critical for research to examine the potential long‐term costs of delayed sleep timing, and whether targeting specific youth behaviours associated with sleep and circadian disruption improve mental and physical health during the COVID‐19 pandemic and beyond.

Purpose of Review The rapid development of social networking sites (SNSs) has affected adolescents’ well-being with great impact on social experience. In this scoping review, we aimed to map out what is known from the most recent literature about adolescents’ emotional well-being and the role of emotional regulation skills in preventing problematic SNS use. We used the Arksey and O’Malley methodological framework, and we based the study selection procedure on the PRISMA process. Then, we selected 52 English and peer-reviewed papers from PubMed, MEDLINE, PsycARTICLES, PsycINFO, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, Wiley Online Library, and Web of Science. Recent Findings We found both positive and negative effects of SNS use on adolescents’ emotions with online self-presentation and social comparison as key mechanisms to explain differences in subjective well-being. The risk of developing problematic use of SNSs is influenced by time spent on SNSs, active or passive use, and adolescents’ social and emotional skills. Summary This review suggested the importance of emotional experiences and social support in both in-person and online interactions. Future research is needed to provide the basis for a better forthcoming classification of problematic SNS use.
