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的脆弱性和对同侪社会环境更加敏感的时期。 由于在线平台的使用越来越多，社交媒体已被确定为风险因素 青少年心理健康问题显着增加。然而，我们目前的理解受到方法的限制 没有充分认识到社交媒体和精神病理学之间的联系是双向的，受 在线内容的积极或消极性质，并在短期和长期时间范围内运作。这 关联随着发展而变化，并且在个体和时间上变化很大。了解 导致社交媒体影响的群体层面研究结果变化的潜在因素 青年发展问题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 不同人和时间尺度的媒体和新兴精神病理学。一、开展因人施策 研究通常能够识别独特的个体、双向动态中的异质性 被估计平均群体水平效应所需的汇总所掩盖。二、生态瞬间 评估可以捕捉持续社交媒体曝光的实时动态，非常适合测试 小影响的累积效应。第三，考虑到青春期同伴互动的转变， 他们对精神病理学、社交内外积极和消极的人际经历的贡献 媒体成为一种有前途的调查途径。第四，纵向模型对于捕捉 在线社交与面对面社交互动对青春期发育风险的相对贡献。 我们将使用发展队列加速纵向设计来招募早期的青年样本 青春期（n=150，13-14 岁）和青春期中期（n=150，15-16 岁）。青少年将被追踪 四年来，每年完成一次为期 30 天的现场生态瞬时评估 社交媒体互动、社会情感脆弱性和精神病理学。数据不断累积 队列将在四年内为每个人提供纵向覆盖，从而允许进行分析 从青春期早期到青春期晚期（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/消极经历的敏感性不同，识别 对社交媒体影响的敏感性的发展窗口，（2）风险积累的途径，以及（3） 在线与面对面的社会贡献对发展风险的影响。我们计划直接测试链接中的异构性 社交媒体使用和精神病理学之间的关系，这将提供超出估计的重要见解 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，在青春期时，由于特定的社交媒体经历，以及这些经历如何 体验双向加速或减轻社会情绪风险和精神病理学。
