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%) 青少年都表示每天至少使用一个社交媒体 (SM) 平台。 青少年容易与 SM 用户进行社会比较，这可能会对他们的 自我概念（SC）。尽管 SM 对青少年的结局起着巨大的作用，但人们对它如何发挥作用却知之甚少。 SM 的使用会影响 SC 并最终影响心理健康。此外，少数族裔青少年可能面临 当经历间接或间接歧视经历时，SC 会面临额外的风险，包括 在 SM 上查看种族刻板印象。确定亚裔美国人 (AA) 青少年对种族的反应 基于SM的内容可以提供SM对心理调节影响的关键信息 少数族裔青年。与其他种族/族裔相比，AA 青少年遭受的网络欺凌最多 群体，还报告了网上受害和接触刻板 SM 的人数增幅最大 自 COVID-19 大流行开始以来的内容。这项 R21 提案涉及 135 名 AA 青少年 填补了科学上的空白，即对 SM 内容的立即反应如何影响青少年 SC 和 随后的心理健康。自然发生的、流行的或“病毒式”的帖子将呈现为 实验刺激来反映 AA 的刻板印象或反刻板印象。 SC 将是 立即通过一系列问题进行评估，以了解青少年如何看待自己， 他们如何将自己与帖子中的其他人进行比较，以及他们或其他人是否会认为他们的 种族群体积极或消极。长期目标是通过以下方式揭示可修改的目标： 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消息。对认知行为疗法和正念的影响- 基于青少年的实践，我们的研究结果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。我们的研究有以下目的： 目的 1. 测试 刻板印象和反刻板印象之间的关联 种族相关的 SM 内容和自我概念 （SC）使用实验刺激，以及（b）研究种族中心性（无论是亚洲人）如何 美国人对于一个人的身份至关重要）调节这些联系。目标 2. 检查中介路径 通过 SC 评估与种族相关的 SM 内容暴露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 帖子来增强生态有效性， 其评选是与我们的 AA 青少年和其他 AA 青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 对青少年如何在线学习身份相关信息产生开创性的见解。
