Whether social media literacy mitigates effects of social media in adolescents

该项目旨在确定青少年早期使用社交媒体相关问题的保护性因素和风险因素。特别是，它旨在确定社交媒体素养(分析、批评和评估社交媒体帖子的技能)的保护作用。尽管大多数澳大利亚青少年使用社交媒体，但频繁的社交媒体参与和基于照片的活动可能会导致身体不满、饮食失调和幸福感下降。支持社交媒体素养保护作用的研究结果有望为改善青少年幸福感的政策提供参考，并为基于学校的社交媒体素养干预铺平道路。

This project aims to determine protective and risk factors for problems associated with social media use in early adolescents. In particular, it aims to determine the protective role of social media literacy (the skill to analyse, critique and evaluate social media posts). Although most Australian adolescents use social media, frequent social media engagement and photo-based activities can cause body dissatisfaction, disordered eating and compromised well-being. Findings supporting a protective role for social media literacy are expected to inform policy to improve adolescent well-being and pave the way for school-based social media literacy interventions.
