PROJECT SUMMARY. Adolescence is a period of heightened vulnerability to psychopathology and sensitivity to peer social contexts. Due to the increasing use of online platforms, social media has been identified as a risk factor for the significant rise in adolescent mental health issues. However, our current understanding is limited by methods that do not fully capture that the link between social media and psychopathology is bidirectional, influenced by the positive or negative nature of online content, and operates over both short and long-term timeframes. This association changes over development and is highly variable across individuals and time. Understanding the underlying factors that contribute to variations in outcomes in group-level studies of the impact of social media on youth development is crucial for prevention and intervention at the individual level. Our project proposes conceptual and methodological improvements to capture interactions between social media and emerging psychopathology at different person and time scales. First, conducting person-specific research enables the identification of heterogeneity in the unique individual, bidirectional dynamics often obscured by the pooling necessary to estimate average, group-level effects. Second, ecological momentary assessment, which captures real-time dynamics of constant social media exposure, is ideal for testing the cumulative effects of small influences. Third, given the transformation of peer interactions in adolescence, and their contributing role to psychopathology, positive and negative interpersonal experiences on and off social media emerge as a promising pathway to investigate. Fourth, longitudinal models are necessary for capturing relative contributions of online versus in-person social interactions to developmental risk during adolescence. We will use a developmental cohort-accelerated longitudinal design to recruit a sample of youth in early adolescence (n=150, 13-14 years) and middle adolescence (n=150, 15-16 years). Adolescents will be tracked across four years, completing annual 30-day bursts of ecological momentary assessment of in-person and social media interactions, socioemotional vulnerability, and psychopathology. Data accumulating across cohorts will provide longitudinal coverage for each person over the span of four years, permitting analytic leverage from early to late adolescence (i.e., observations from age 13 to age 19). We aim to test (1) real-time differential susceptibility to positive/negative experiences across individuals and time, identifying developmental windows of susceptibility to social media effects, (2) pathways for risk accumulation, and (3) online vs in-person social contributions to developmental risk. We plan to directly test heterogeneity in the links between social media use and psychopathology, which will provide critical insights beyond estimating the average risk of social media use for adolescents. The long-term goal is to identify who is at the highest risk of psychopathology, when during adolescence, due to what specific social media experiences, and how these experiences bidirectionally accelerate or mitigate socioemotional risk and psychopathology.

项目摘要。 青春期是一个对精神病理学高度脆弱和对同龄人社会环境敏感的时期。 由于越来越多地使用在线平台，社交媒体已被确定为一个风险因素， 青少年心理健康问题显著增加。然而，我们目前的认识受到方法的限制 这并没有完全抓住社交媒体和精神病理学之间的联系是双向的， 在线内容的积极或消极性质，并在短期和长期的时间框架内运作。这 关联随着发展而变化，并且在个体和时间上高度可变。了解 导致社交媒体影响的群体水平研究结果差异的潜在因素 对青年发展的影响对于个人层面的预防和干预至关重要。 我们的项目提出了概念和方法上的改进，以捕捉社会之间的互动 媒体和新兴的精神病理学在不同的人和时间尺度。第一，开展针对个人的 研究能够识别独特个体的异质性，双向动力学通常 被估计平均组水平效应所需的合并所掩盖。二是生态瞬间 评估，捕捉不断的社会媒体曝光的实时动态，是测试的理想选择。 小影响的累积效应。第三，考虑到青少年时期同伴互动的转变， 他们对精神病理学的贡献作用，积极和消极的人际关系经验， 媒体成为一个有希望的调查途径。第四，纵向模型对于捕获 在线与面对面的社交互动对青少年发展风险的相对贡献。 我们将采用发展队列加速纵向设计，招募一个青年样本， 青春期（n=150，13-14岁）和青春中期（n=150，15-16岁）。青少年将被跟踪 在四年的时间里，完成了每年30天的生态瞬时评估， 社交媒体互动，社会情感脆弱性和精神病理学。数据积累跨越 队列将在四年的时间内为每个人提供纵向覆盖， 从青春期早期到晚期的杠杆作用（即，从13岁到19岁的观察）。我们的目标是测试（1）实时 不同个体和时间对积极/消极经历的敏感性差异， 对社交媒体影响的易感性的发展窗口，（2）风险积累的途径，和（3） 在线与面对面的社交对发展风险的贡献。我们计划直接测试链接中的异质性 社交媒体使用和精神病理学之间的关系，这将提供超越估计 青少年使用社交媒体的平均风险。长期目标是确定谁的风险最高， 精神病理学，当在青春期，由于什么特定的社交媒体的经验，以及如何这些 经验双向加速或减轻社会情绪风险和精神病理学。
