“…Findings in this area are mixed and there are current debates between researchers regarding the importance and interpretation of the association between time spent on social media and adolescent mental health using large databases (Orben & Przybylski, 2019; Twenge, Joiner, Rogers, & Martin, 2017). Some studies have found that more time spent on social media is linked to more appearance concerns, eating disorder symptomology, social anxiety, and depressive symptoms among preadolescents (e.g., Fardouly, Magson et al, 2018; Tiggemann & Slater, 2014b; Tiggemann & Slater, 2015), adolescents (e.g., Tiggemann & Slater, 2014a; Twenge et al, 2017; de Vries, Peter, de Graaf, & Nikken, 2016), and young adults (e.g., Fardouly & Vartanian, 2015; Fardouly, Willburger, & Vartanian, 2018; Shaw, Timpano, Tran, & Joormann, 2015) while others have found no link between time spent on social media and those concerns and symptoms (e.g., Cohen et al, 2017; Lwin & Malik, 2012; Meier & Gray, 2014; Orben & Przybylski, 2019). The majority of research in this field has examined time spent on Facebook or Instagram.…”
