“…Thus, future research should combine the person-specific approach with more specific measures of SMU and, through donation-or log-based methods, data on the content of interactions to provide further insight into the complexities inherent to SMU and well-being. Using a personspecific approach to understand how well-being is affected by the subjective experiences of SMU, the contexts and ecologies in which usage is situated, as well as the usage of specific social media elements can contribute to resolving tensions between optimistic and pessimistic interpretations of the effects of SMU [44].…”

“…The effects of social media use on mental health reported in these studies have been small and inconsistent (Appel et al, 2020;Coyne et al, 2020;Dienlin & Johannes, 2020;Odgers & Jensen, 2020;Orben, 2020). These mixed findings may be due to the heterogeneous nature of social media effects (Beyens et al, 2020), but may also point to a more general lack of explanatory power of self-reported time-based predictors of mental health (Odgers & Jensen, 2020;Valkenburg et al, 2022). Time-based measures of social media use do not provide insight in what people see or do on social media.…”

“…In addition to the person-specific studies [20, 33,34], several new publications have investigated the effects of SMU on social comparison, envy, and well-being using longitudinal methods, such as panel surveys or ESM. Earlier studies [4,6,7] found negative longitudinal associations of (passive) SMU with well-being, and that upward comparison was associated negatively with well-being and positively with envy [see also 35,36,40].…”

“…Social media (SM) such as Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok continue to attract billions worldwide while concerns about their impact on users' well-being are unabated [1]. Recent reviews [2,3,4] synthesized meta-analyses on this issue, finding overall small negative associations between social media use (SMU) and some, but not all, well-being indicators among adolescents [4] and young adults [2,3]. Yet, associations are heterogeneous and likely depend on numerous boundary conditions and mechanisms [3,4].…”
