Abstract The current response article began by situating this journal volume in the current COVID-19 pandemic context which has driven young people into digital spaces for far longer periods of time than ever. Many scholars, policy makers, and the public at large are recognizing that these social digital spaces may be the only outlet by which youth and their families can remain safe (at least physically), while also participating in some important social outlets. We discussed the notion of hybrid reality and argued that young people themselves often do not experience their digital and physical contexts as functionally distinct, despite there being good scientific reasons for examining these contexts separately. We then considered whether or not digital activity (at least some) should be considered pathological or inherently unhealthy for young people. Like most of the commentators, we advocated for a nuanced approach and emphasized the importance of a functional, developmental lens. In the second half of our response, we turned to the narrative identity framework itself and clarified misconceptions about what we considered novel about our approach. We found it particularly useful to explain why self-determination theory can be regarded as a constituent of the identity development framework, but that it does not subsume it. We moved on to discuss how the new insights provided by the commentators could be synthesized and suggested directions for new research studies and methodologies. Finally, we ended with an examination of how a more elaborated narrative identity framework offers specific directions for designing new digital interventions for promoting young people’s mental health and wellbeing. It is our hope that the target article with its detailed articulation of the narrative identity framework, together with the thoughtful commentaries and this response, can together inform future research, practice, and policy relevant to digital activity and its impact on young people’s mental health and wellbeing.

从叙事身份的角度看年轻人的数字互动：对心理健康和幸福的影响

摘要 当前的回应文章首先将这本期刊卷置于当前的 COVID-19 大流行环境中，这使得年轻人进入数字空间的时间比以往任何时候都长。许多学者、政策制定者和广大公众都认识到，这些社交数字空间可能是青年及其家人保持安全（至少在身体上）的唯一渠道，同时也参与一些重要的社交渠道。我们讨论了混合现实的概念，并认为年轻人自己通常不会将他们的数字和物理环境体验为功能上不同的，尽管有充分的科学理由来分别检查这些环境。然后，我们考虑了数字活动（至少是一些）是否应该被视为对年轻人来说是病态的或本质上不健康的。像大多数评论员一样，我们提倡一种微妙的方法，并强调功能性、发展性镜头的重要性。在我们回应的后半部分，我们转向了叙事身份框架本身，并澄清了关于我们认为我们的方法新颖的误解。我们发现解释为什么自决理论可以被视为身份发展框架的组成部分特别有用，但它并没有包含它。我们继续讨论如何综合评论员提供的新见解，并为新的研究和方法提出建议。最后，我们最后研究了更详细的叙事身份框架如何为设计新的数字干预措施以促进年轻人的心理健康和福祉提供具体方向。我们希望目标文章详细阐述了叙事身份框架，加上深思熟虑的评论和这种回应，可以共同为与数字活动及其对年轻人心理健康和影响的未来相关的研究、实践和政策提供信息。福利。
