“…Our interpretation of this finding is consistent with what has been argued more broadly in the field. The focus on screen time and displacement distracts from more nuanced arguments about the mechanisms through which differentiated use of new media may be damaging, such as girl’s body dissatisfaction (Roberts et al, 2022), or even beneficial, such as social support (Lu & Hampton, 2017) or the vicarious joy and comfort one receives as a result of awareness of other’s positive experiences (Shin & Hampton, 2021). More attention should be placed on pre-established threats to adolescent well-being, such as impression management and social comparison (Roberts et al, 2022), and factors such as person-specific susceptibility (Beyens et al, 2020), propensity for harm during different stages within adolescence (Orben et al, 2022), and the role of social context (Livingstone, 2018).…”

“…Studies of “problematic” or “addictive” uses of new media often rely on scales with low construct validity; they have negligible to small correlations with measures of psychological well-being (Duradoni et al, 2020). Some scholars have attempted to identify how new media may contribute to lower well-being by differentiating media activities, investigating differential susceptibility (Beyens et al, 2020), and by identifying mechanisms such as a fear of missing out (Reer et al, 2019), cyber-bullying (Machmutow et al, 2012), emotional contagion (Hampton, 2019), and awareness of undesirable network life events (Hampton et al, 2016; Shin & Hampton, 2021). However, reports of across-the-board, negative relationships to new media use are most commonly expressed in relation to a simple measure of screen time (Orben, 2020).…”

Some argue that social media use displaces time that adolescents spend with friends and family and is therefore associated with lower psychological well-being. They reason that young people who experience “disconnection,” because their parents actively restrict media use, or they have limited material access to the Internet, are better protected from psychological harm. Prior research has misspecified and exaggerated the magnitude of the relationship between screen time and adolescent psychological well-being. If the harm associated with heavy (excessive) or even average use of new media has been overstated, then the recommendation of disconnection may also be problematic. New media use is heavily integrated into youth culture and sociality, restrictive media parenting practices or digital inequalities may rob adolescents of experiences that would otherwise be protective of self-esteem. We conducted a survey of rural adolescents, who are more likely to experience disconnection at home because of a lack of physical availability of broadband, not simply affordability. Based on that survey, we find that a negative relationship between screen time and lower self-esteem is eclipsed by a more substantive, negative relationship to inequalities in material access to the Internet and restrictive mediation of media by parents. Findings show that new media use does not substantively displace time spent socializing with family and friends and in other social activities (e.g., volunteering). Omitting the supportive, indirect relationship between time on social media and self-esteem, through time spent socializing, exaggerates the negative relationship between social media use and adolescent well-being for girls, and for boys, misspecified the direction of the relationship. Adolescents, who experience heavy restrictive mediation of media by parents or have limited Internet access at home, tend to report substantively lower self-esteem than heavy users of any new media.

“…Whether grounded in one’s own privilege and/or psychological process like attribution theory and the “Belief in a Just World,” cultural humility (Fisher-Borne et al, 2015) and education about the historical roots of injustice are important first steps to change (Anderson & Sánchez, 2021; Ray & Gibbons, 2021). Indeed, the lived experience of marginalization (Peifer et al, 2016; Uehline & Yalch, 2021; Wang et al, 2003), awareness of others’ negative life events (Shin & Hampton, 2021), endorsement of social justice issues as personally important (Tausen et al, in press), and conversational engagement with one’s peers about social justice issues (Kim & Tausen, 2021) all predict social justice–related outcomes such as ethnocultural empathy, activism, and support for, marginalized group members. While far from exhaustive, what these findings suggest is that individual experiences and motivations are core components of social justice engagement.…”

Awareness of social justice issues and their perceived importance varies significantly across many demographic variables including racial and religious identities. Less is known, however, about how the centrality of one’s own religiosity is associated with social justice attitudes and actions. This study explored the relationship between dimensions of religiosity and social justice importance and actions for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and non-Hispanic White students. Christian college students ( N = 168) completed measures of public and private religiosity, the perceived connection between faith and social justice, as well as personal attitudes and actions pertaining to issues of social justice. The results demonstrated positive associations between religiosity and the extent to which faith was believed to inform social justice attitudes for BIPOC and White students. Despite the perception that religiosity informed one’s social justice attitudes and actions, religiosity was only positively associated with actual social justice engagement for BIPOC students. Furthermore, multiple regression analyses demonstrated that public religiosity was the best predictor of beliefs that one’s religion motivated activities related to social justice work, but private religiosity was the strongest predictor of actual social justice engagement. These findings underscore a prominent disconnect in the extent to which religiosity is believed to be, and is actually, associated with social justice attitudes and actions.

Based on the requirements of the computer technology background in the new era, this paper takes Chinese biopharmaceutical enterprises as the research object, outlines the general characteristics of innovation in Chinese biopharmaceutical enterprises, and analyses the current situation of innovation development in biopharmaceutical enterprises from four aspects: policy, economy, society and technology, followed by an analysis of the current problems faced by innovation in Chinese biopharmaceutical enterprises and the reasons for their generation. Based on literature research, theoretical studies and analysis of the causes of the current innovation problems of Chinese biopharmaceutical enterprises, the factors affecting the innovation performance of Chinese biopharmaceutical enterprises are summarised. The specifics of the conditional variables, as well as the outcome variables, are then identified according to the specific manifestations of poor innovation performance of biopharmaceutical firms. Finally, corresponding countermeasures are proposed in terms of the level of corporate R&D investment, the level of financing channels, the level of government policy support, and the internal management of biopharmaceutical companies, in conjunction with the characteristics of different path models. This paper combines the big data foundation to research and analyse the development of biopharmaceutical enterprises, laying a new research foundation and providing a more efficient research path for the development of the biopharmaceutical industry.
