本文测试了信息和通信技术（ICT）之间的关系，如互联网，手机和社交媒体，以及随着时间的推移，心理困扰（PD）和与抑郁症和焦虑症相关的严重心理困扰（SPD）的风险的变化。使用纵向面板设计，调查数据来自美国成年人的代表性样本，研究结果显示，家庭互联网和社交网站（SNS）的使用与PD随着时间的推移而减少。有大家庭谁也是互联网用户进一步降低PD。PD增加或减少与也使用SNS的大家庭的PD变化有关。对于大多数人来说，ICT实质上减少了PD;在极少数情况下，大家庭的PD也在SNS上出现极端峰值，SPD的风险略有增加。当不在社交媒体上的大家庭经历了PD的变化时，PD没有变化。
This article tests the relationship between information and communication technologies (ICT), such as the Internet, cell phones, and social media, and change over time in psychological distress (PD) and risk of serious psychological distress (SPD) associated with depression and anxiety disorders. Using a longitudinal panel design, survey data from a representative sample of American adults, findings revealed that home Internet and social network site (SNS) use are associated with decreased PD over time. Having extended family who are also Internet users further decreases PD. PD increased or decreased in relation to change in the PD of extended family who also use SNSs. For most people, ICT substantively reduce PD; in rare cases, an extreme spike in PD of extended family also on SNSs, there was a trivial increase to the risk of SPD. PD did not change when extended family not on social media experienced a change in their PD.
