Emerging research has identified several specific components of social media that have varied associations with adolescent mental health, as well as individual difference factors that may alter these associations across adolescents. In this annual research review, we synthesize evidence regarding heterogeneity in social media effects related to (a) specific components of social media and (b) adolescents' individual differences regarding social media use and effects. We first focus on the specific social media components—content, features, and functions—that may be especially relevant for adolescent development. These include functions designed to foster relationships and social connections (e.g., social media feeds, ‘friends’), hateful content, notifications, risky content, and algorithmically curated content, among others. Next, we provide an overview of for whom these effects may matter most. We review research on individual differences that may explain some heterogeneity in social media effects, including gender/sex, age, marginalized status, neurobiological and social sensitivities, and other preexisting vulnerabilities to mental health concerns. The nascent work in these areas suggests many specific constructs and considerations that could drive future research examining nuanced and precise questions that go beyond ‘screen time’.

Davis et al. show how children who later receive dual diagnoses exhibit significantly more severe symptoms and greater behavioural challenges compared to their peers. The study's methodological strengths, including its prospective longitudinal design and well-validated measures, are highlighted. However, the commentary also critiques the reliance on the traditional diagnostic paradigm, advocating for a shift towards data-driven or dimensional approaches to better capture the complexities of neurodevelopmental conditions. By adopting such methodologies, the commentary suggests improvements in clinical practices through more personalised interventions, thereby advancing our understanding and treatment of ASC and ADHD.</p>","PeriodicalId":187,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry","volume":"66 5","pages":"763-766"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jcpp.14106","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142869951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
