Abstract

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to major stressors, increases in internalizing symptomatology, and greater reliance on online interactions. We examined associations between social media use, online social support, pandemic-related stress, and internalizing symptoms, and tested the moderating role of social media use on the relation between stress and symptom change across time.

Methods: Emerging adults aged 18-25 (N=200) self-reported pandemic-related stress, internalizing symptoms, social media use, and online social support in May 2020, then repeated measures of internalizing symptoms in August 2020.

Results: Greater social media use was cross-sectionally associated with greater stress and anxiety symptoms. High social media use in conjunction with high interpersonal stress was predictive of increases in depression, whereas low online social support and high total stress was predictive of increases in anxiety.

Discussion: Findings suggest that general social media usage and online social support are differentially related to internalizing symptom change among emerging adults.

#socialdistancing：社交媒体的使用和在线社交支持可调节大流行相关压力对新成人内化症状的影响。

导言：COVID-19大流行导致了巨大的压力、内化症状的增加以及对在线互动的更大依赖。我们研究了社交媒体的使用、在线社会支持、大流行病相关压力和内化症状之间的关联，并检验了社交媒体的使用对不同时期压力和症状变化之间关系的调节作用：方法：18-25 岁的新成人（N=200）在 2020 年 5 月自我报告了与大流行相关的压力、内化症状、社交媒体使用情况和在线社会支持，然后在 2020 年 8 月重复测量了内化症状：结果：社交媒体使用率越高，压力和焦虑症状越严重。高社交媒体使用率和高人际压力可预测抑郁症的增加，而低在线社会支持和高总压力可预测焦虑症的增加：讨论：研究结果表明，一般社交媒体使用率和在线社交支持与新兴成人的内化症状变化有着不同的关系。

期刊介绍： This journal is devoted to the application of theory and research from social psychology toward the better understanding of human adaptation and adjustment, including both the alleviation of psychological problems and distress (e.g., psychopathology) and the enhancement of psychological well-being among the psychologically healthy. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) traditionally defined psychopathology (e.g., depression), common emotional and behavioral problems in living (e.g., conflicts in close relationships), the enhancement of subjective well-being, and the processes of psychological change in everyday life (e.g., self-regulation) and professional settings (e.g., psychotherapy and counseling). Articles reporting the results of theory-driven empirical research are given priority, but theoretical articles, review articles, clinical case studies, and essays on professional issues are also welcome. Articles describing the development of new scales (personality or otherwise) or the revision of existing scales are not appropriate for this journal.
