“…Counselors may use a mindfulness‐based intervention to help users increase their mindful attention and awareness to possibly ameliorate the negative effects of FOMO and PSMU. For example, Weaver and Swank (2019) outlined a mindfulness‐based intervention for adolescent social media users. College counselors could use this as a guide for applying mindful principles to social media use.…”

“…Researchers might also investigate causality with these constructs through a study using an experimental design. This may include examining the effectiveness of an intervention designed to address maladaptive social media use (i.e., Weaver & Swank, 2019), while also examining well‐being (e.g., self‐esteem) in conjunction with social media–related constructs (e.g., FOMO).…”

This study investigated problematic social media use (PSMU), the fear of missing out (FOMO), mindful attention, self‐esteem, and life satisfaction among 278 undergraduate students. Results indicated that PSMU and FOMO negatively related to mindful attention, self‐esteem, and life satisfaction. The mediation model suggested that mindful attention inversely mediated the relationship between FOMO and PSMU. Thus, FOMO predicted PSMU in users who were less mindfully attentive. We discuss the results, limitations, implications, and recommendations for research.

“…To date, there is still limited research on interventions that target media use and behaviors among youth with mental health problems. However, there are several emerging interventions that use mindfulness (Weaver & Swank, 2019) and daily reflection (Hou et al, 2019) as a means to improve mindless scrolling and reduce unwanted use. Further, a recent values-alignment intervention focused on adolescents' own motivations to self-regulate their social media use (Galla et al, 2021), finding that adolescents who participated in the intervention experienced more motivation to self-regulate and independently changed their social media behaviors to be consistent with their values.…”

The majority of mental health problems first emerge during the adolescent years (Kessler et al., 2005). Thus, adolescence is a critical developmental window for both mental health prevention and intervention. Despite improvements in our understanding and ability to detect and treat youth mental health problems, there remains a persistent need for mental health services among youth, with the majority of youth untreated (Cummings et al., 2013;Merikangas et al., 2011). Among youth who do get treatment, there is often a long gap between the onset of symptoms and when youth first receive treatment (de Girolamo et al., 2012), as well as low treatment attendance and completion in this population. As rates of mental health problems such as depression and suicidality continue to rise during adolescence (Centers for Disease Control, 2018), the gap between those who need and receive mental health services will only continue to grow.In this chapter, we review the potential for technology to advance our understanding and treatment of mental health problems among adolescents through digital mental health interventions (DMHIs). We first discuss existing barriers to mental health care among adolescents, followed by a discussion of how DMHIs can address these barriers to improve access to and quality of adolescent mental health services. We then review existing research on DMHIs and the digital frameworks that are used to collect and deliver psychoeducation, assessment, and interventions across different hardware (e.g., smartphones, computers) and modalities (e.g., online, text, apps). Finally, we conclude with a discussion of the current limitations of DMHIs and key directions for the field to improve adolescent mental health care using DMHIs. Barriers to Existing Mental Health ServicesSignificant, and often systemic, barriers interfere with access and delivery of mental health services for adolescents, including barriers related to cost, geographic proximity, and time, among others. These barriers oftenWe would like to thank Woanjun Lee, BA for his contributions to the tables for this chapter. Jessica L.

“…Berdasarkan penjelasan tersebut, maka penelitian ini mendukung penelitian terdahulu yang menunjukkan adanya korelasi antara mindfulness terhadap penggunaan jejaring sosial (Bansal & Weinschenk, 2020;Johannes et al, 2018;Owen, Heisterkamp, Halfmann, & Vorderer, 2018;Poon & Jiang, 2020;Roberts, 2018;Shonin et al, 2014;Sriwilai & Charoensukmongkol, 2016;Vusparatih, 2018). Pada studi terdahulu, mindfulness telah ditemukan dapat mengontrol penggunaan jejaring sosial (Shonin et al, 2014;Vusparatih, 2018;Weaver & Swank, 2019) melalui peran kesadaran terjaga (awareness) dan perhatian (attention) (Owen et al, 2018).…”
