“…With regard to the aims of the present paper, the correlational findings provide support to our theoretical proposition that measures of SMU can differ greatly, and as such they capture different aspects of online behavior. The fact that we only detect weak correlations between SMUmeasures fits within the picture of mixed results that we see in the literature (Appel et al, 2020;Baker & Algorta, 2016;Best et al, 2014;Çikrıkci, 2016;Elhai et al, 2017;Glover & Fritsch, 2018;Huang, 2010Huang, , 2017Keles et al, 2020;Liu et al, 2019;Marino et al, 2018;Richards et al, 2015;Rozgonjuk et al, 2020;Sarmiento et al, 2020;Seabrook et al, 2016;Yoon et al, 2019).…”

“…As a result, the research field has shifted its focus to the effects of social media on mental health in particular. Prior reviews or meta-analyses on either problematic SMU or more descriptive and non-pathological forms of SMU report primarily small, negative relationships between SMU and MH (Appel et al, 2020;Baker & Algorta, 2016;Best et al, 2014;Çikrıkci, 2016;Elhai et al, 2017;Glover & Fritsch, 2018;Huang, 2010Huang, , 2017Keles et al, 2020;Liu et al, 2019;Marino et al, 2018;Richards et al, 2015;Rozgonjuk et al, 2020;Sarmiento et al, 2020;Seabrook et al, 2016;Yoon et al, 2019). Most of those meta-analyses yield small, negative correlation coefficients, but these vary depending on specific concepts and inclusion criteria, ranging from −.33 (Yoon et al, 2019, for SMU upward social comparison andIvie et al, 2020, for depression) to .14 (Liu et al, 2019, for SMU interaction and mental health).…”

On a daily basis, individuals between 12 and 25 years of age engage with their mobile devices for many hours. Social Media Use (SMU) has important implications for the social life of younger individuals in particular. However, measuring SMU and its effects often poses challenges to researchers. In this exploratory study, we focus on some of these challenges, by addressing how plurality in the measurement and age-specific characteristics of SMU can influence its relationship with measures of subjective mental health (MH). We conducted a survey among a nationally representative sample of Dutch adolescents and young adults ( N = 3,669). Using these data, we show that measures of SMU show little similarity with each other, and that age-group differences underlie SMU. Similar to the small associations previously shown in social media-effects research, we also find some evidence that greater SMU associates to drops and to increases in MH. Albeit nuanced, associations between SMU and MH were found to be characterized by both linear and quadratic functions. These findings bear implications for the level of association between different measures of SMU and its theorized relationship with other dependent variables of interest in media-effects research.

Problematic Interactive Media Use (PIMU), aka internet or video game addiction, is increasingly presenting to pediatricians for care. The majority of youth now use mobile media almost constantly to communicate, learn, and entertain themselves, but for some, uncontrolled video gaming, social media use, pornography viewing, and information-bingeing on short videos or websites contribute to functional impairment. PIMU can result in academic failure, social withdrawal, behavioral problems, family conflict, and physical and mental health problems. There is no formal diagnosis to describe the spectrum of PIMU behaviors and therefore no standardized therapeutic interventions. Anticipatory guidance will help identify youth at risk and empower parents to recognize and prevent problems. In addition, epidemiology and etiology indicate that Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), affective disorders, and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) may predispose to and, in some cases, result from PIMU, offering opportunities for effective treatment by addressing underlying pathology that is manifesting itself in the interactive media environment. Efforts to establish evidence-based diagnoses, develop and evaluate therapeutic strategies, and to train clinicians in recognition and care of PIMU are reviewed.
