青少年是社交媒体的最高消费者之一，而研究表明，他们的幸福感随着年龄的增长而下降。社交媒体互动与幸福感之间的时间关系尚未建立。这项研究的目的是研究是否在社交媒体互动的变化和两个幸福的措施是跨年龄使用平行增长模型相关。数据来自五波的青年问卷，10-15岁，理解社会，英国家庭纵向研究（汇总n = 9859）。通过每天在社交网站上聊天的频率评估社交媒体互动。幸福感是通过生活的六个领域和优势和困难问卷的幸福感来衡量的。研究结果表明，在社交媒体上互动与幸福感之间的关系存在性别差异。社交媒体互动与女性的幸福感拦截以及社交媒体互动与女性的幸福感斜率之间存在显著相关。此外，10岁时更高的社交媒体互动与此后女性幸福感的下降有关，但对男性来说则不然。两种幸福感的测量结果相似。在青春期早期，高水平的社交媒体互动对青春期后期的幸福感有影响，特别是对女性。男性之间缺乏相关性表明，其他因素可能与他们的幸福感随着年龄的增长而下降有关。这些发现有助于因果关系的辩论，并可能为未来的政策和干预提供信息。
Adolescents are among the highest consumers of social media while research has shown that their well-being decreases with age. The temporal relationship between social media interaction and well-being is not well established. The aim of this study was to examine whether the changes in social media interaction and two well-being measures are related across ages using parallel growth models. Data come from five waves of the youth questionnaire, 10-15 years, of the Understanding Society, the UK Household Longitudinal Study (pooled n = 9859). Social media interaction was assessed through daily frequency of chatting on social websites. Well-being was measured by happiness with six domains of life and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Findings suggest gender differences in the relationship between interacting on social media and well-being. There were significant correlations between interacting on social media and well-being intercepts and between social media interaction and well-being slopes among females. Additionally higher social media interaction at age 10 was associated with declines in well-being thereafter for females, but not for males. Results were similar for both measures of well-being. High levels of social media interaction in early adolescence have implications for well-being in later adolescence, particularly for females. The lack of an association among males suggests other factors might be associated with their reduction in well-being with age. These findings contribute to the debate on causality and may inform future policy and interventions.
