The present research examines the longitudinal average impact of frequency of use of Internet and social networking sites (SNS) on subjective well-being of adolescents in Germany. Based on five-wave panel data that cover a period of nine years, we disentangle between-person and within-person effects of media use on depressive symptomatology and life satisfaction as indicators of subjective well-being. Additionally, we control for confounders such as TV use, self-esteem, and satisfaction with friends. We found that frequency of Internet use in general and use of SNS in particular is not substantially related subjective well-being. The explanatory power of general Internet use or SNS use to predict between-person differences or within-person change in subjective well-being is close to zero. TV use, a potentially confounding variable, is negatively related to satisfaction with life, but it does not affect depressive symptomatology. However, this effect is too small to be of practical relevance.

互联网和社交媒体的使用对幸福感的影响:九年来青少年的纵向分析

本研究调查了使用互联网和社交网站(SNS)的频率对德国青少年主观幸福感的纵向平均影响。基于为期九年的五波面板数据,我们区分了媒介使用对人的和人内的影响对抑郁症状和生活满意度的影响,作为主观幸福感的指标。此外,我们控制混杂因素,例如电视使用,自尊和对朋友的满意度。我们发现,一般而言,互联网的使用频率,尤其是SNS的使用与主观幸福感没有实质性的关系。一般的Internet使用或SNS用于预测人与人之间的差异或人内主观幸福感变化的解释力接近于零。电视使用是一个可能令人困惑的变量,与生活满意度负相关,但不影响抑郁症状。但是,这种影响太小而没有实际意义。
