Eighteen earlier studies have investigated the associations between social media use (SMU) and adolescents’ self-esteem, finding weak effects and inconsistent results. A viable hypothesis for these mixed findings is that the effect of SMU differs from adolescent to adolescent. To test this hypothesis, we conducted a preregistered three-week experience sampling study among 387 adolescents (13–15 years, 54% girls). Each adolescent reported on his/her SMU and self-esteem six times per day (126 assessments per participant; 34,930 in total). Using a person-specific, N = 1 method of analysis (Dynamic Structural Equation Modeling), we found that the majority of adolescents (88%) experienced no or very small effects of SMU on self-esteem (−.10 < β < .10), whereas 4% experienced positive (.10 ≤ β ≤ .17) and 8% negative effects (−.21 ≤ β ≤ −.10). Our results suggest that person-specific effects can no longer be ignored in future media effects theories and research.

社交媒体的使用和青少年的自尊:走向特定于个人的媒体效果范式

早期的 18 项研究调查了社交媒体使用 (SMU) 与青少年自尊之间的关联,发现效果微弱且结果不一致。这些混合研究结果的一个可行假设是 SMU 的效果因青少年而异。为了验证这一假设,我们在 387 名青少年(13-15 岁,54% 的女孩)中进行了一项预先注册的为期三周的经验抽样研究。每个青少年每天六次报告他/她的 SMU 和自尊(每位参与者 126 次评估;总共 34,930 次)。使用针对个人的 N = 1 分析方法(动态结构方程建模),我们发现大多数青少年 (88%) 没有或经历过 SMU 对自尊的影响非常小(-.10 < β < ; .10),而 4% 的人经历了积极的 (.10 ≤ β ≤ .17) 和 8% 的负面影响 (-.21 ≤ β ≤ -)。10)。我们的研究结果表明,在未来的媒体效应理论和研究中,不能再忽视个人特定效应。
