PROJECT ABSTRACT As of 2022, nearly all (95%) adolescents report using at least one social media (SM) platform daily. Adolescents are prone to engage in social comparison with SM users, which may negatively affect their self-concept (SC). Despite the outsized role of SM on adolescent outcomes, little is known about how SM use impacts SC and ultimately mental health. Furthermore, racial minority adolescents may face additional risks to SC when experiencing indirect or vicarious discrimination experiences, including viewing racial stereotypes on SM. Determining Asian American (AA) adolescent responses to race- based SM content can provide key information on the effects of SM on the psychological adjustment of racial minority youth. AA youth experience the most online bullying compared to other racial/ethnic groups and also reported the largest increase in online victimization and exposure to stereotypic SM content since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. This R21 proposal involving 135 AA adolescents fulfills a gap in the science of how immediate responses to SM content may affect adolescent SC and subsequent mental health. Naturally occurring, popular or “viral ” posts will be presented as experimental stimuli to reflect either stereotypic or counter-stereotypic portrayals of AAs. SC will be assessed immediately through a series of questions to understand how adolescents view themselves, how they compare themselves to others in the post, and whether they or others might perceive their racial group positively or negatively. The long-term objective is to reveal modifiable targets through the direct assessments of psychological processes, specifically how adolescents feel and interpret the messages from social media posts. With implications for cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness- based practices for adolescents, our findings have potential for providing evidence-based anticipatory guidance for parents, clinicians, and communities. Our study has the following aims: Aim 1. To test associations between stereotype and counter stereotype race-related SM content and self-concept (SC) using experimental stimuli, and (b) To investigate how race centrality (whether being Asian American is central to one's identity) moderates the links. Aim 2. To examine the mediation pathways of race-related SM content exposure on mental health and psychological outcomes via SC. Exploratory Aim. To determine how adolescents identify messages in social media content, including the extent they identify racial messaging. The major strengths of this work include the generalizability of findings across SM platforms and enhanced ecological validity through the use of real, viral SM posts, with its selection conducted in collaboration with our youth advisory board of AA teens and other AA consultants. Our approach to assess immediate affective and cognitive response to SM has potential to yield groundbreaking insights on how adolescents learn identity-relevant information online.

项目摘要 截至2022年，几乎所有(95%)青少年报告每天至少使用一个社交媒体(SM)平台。 青少年倾向于与短信用户进行社会比较，这可能会对他们的 自我概念(SC)。尽管SM在青春期结局中扮演着非常重要的角色，但人们对SM如何影响青少年的结局知之甚少 SM的使用会影响SC，最终影响心理健康。此外，少数族裔青少年可能面临 SC在经历间接或替代歧视经历时面临的其他风险，包括 在SM上查看种族刻板印象。确定亚裔美国人青少年对种族的反应- 基于SM的内容可以提供SM对心理调节的影响的关键信息 少数民族青年。与其他种族/民族相比，AA青少年经历的网络欺凌最多 还报告说，在线受害和接触刻板印象SM的人数增加最多 自新冠肺炎大流行开始以来的内容。这份R21提案涉及135名AA青少年 填补了对SM内容的即时反应可能如何影响青少年SC和 随之而来的心理健康。自然发生的、流行的或“病毒式”的帖子将被呈现为 实验刺激，以反映AA的刻板印象或反刻板印象。SC将会是 通过一系列问题进行评估，以了解青少年如何看待自己， 他们如何将自己与职位上的其他人进行比较，以及他们或其他人是否会认为自己 积极或消极的种族群体。长期目标是通过 对心理过程的直接评估，特别是青少年如何感受和解释 来自社交媒体帖子的信息。对认知行为疗法和正念的影响-- 基于青少年的实践，我们的发现有可能提供基于证据的预期 为家长、临床医生和社区提供指导。我们的研究有以下几个目的：目的1.测试 刻板印象与反刻板印象种族相关SM内容与自我概念的关系 (Sc)使用实验性刺激，以及(B)调查种族中心性(无论是亚洲人)如何 美国人是一个人身份的中心)缓和了这些联系。目标2.检查调解途径 种族相关SM内容暴露通过SC对心理健康和心理结果的影响。 探索性目标。确定青少年如何识别社交媒体内容中的信息，包括 他们识别种族信息的程度。这项工作的主要优点包括 跨SM平台的发现，并通过使用真实的、病毒式的SM帖子增强生态有效性， 它的遴选是与我们的AA青少年和其他AA青少年顾问委员会合作进行的 顾问。我们评估对SM的即时情感和认知反应的方法有可能 就青少年如何在线学习与身份相关的信息提供开创性的见解。
