{"title":"A healthy dose of skepticism: The relationship between young adolescents' sexual media exposure and sexual intentions, and the moderating role of media skepticism.","authors":"Christina V Dodson, Reina Evans-Paulson, Tracy M Scull","doi":"10.1037/ppm0000667","DOIUrl":"10.1037/ppm0000667","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>The relationship between sexual media exposure and adolescents' sexual attitudes and behaviors, including timing of first sexual experience, is well established. Research has emphasized the potential role of individual-difference variables in attenuating the potentially unhealthy impact of media on adolescent sexual health outcomes, and scholars have called for additional research in this area. Skepticism of media messages has been proposed as a variable that may serve as a protective factor against the potentially unhealthy effects of sexual media exposure on adolescent sexual decision making. However, this has yet to be explored empirically. Using a school-based sample of students in 9th- and 10th- grade (n=464, <i>M</i> _age=14; 55% female), this study examined the relationship between young adolescents' sexual media exposure and intentions to engage in sexual activity in the next year, and the potential moderating role of media skepticism. As hypothesized, greater sexual media exposure was positively related to intentions to engage in sexual activity in the next year. This relationship was moderated by media skepticism such that the relationship between sexual media exposure and sexual intentions was significantly weaker for adolescents' who were more skeptical of media messages. Implications for future research and interventions aimed at bolstering adolescents' critical media attitudes, including media skepticism, are discussed.</p>","PeriodicalId":29936,"journal":{"name":"Psychology of Popular Media","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13059799/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147646813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Very little is known about the dynamics and consequences of smartphone checking or \"pickups,\" likely in part due to challenges with accurate assessment of this behavior. This exploratory study examines within- and between-person associations between adolescents' daily objectively measured smartphone \"pickups\" and patterns of positive and negative affect, and investigates whether adolescent mindfulness moderates these associations. Adolescents (<i>N</i> = 135, <i>M</i> _age = 15.46, 62% female, 34% Hispanic, 33% White, 24% Black) completed a baseline assessment and 14-day ecological momentary assessment protocol and provided daily screenshots of smartphone \"pickups\" via the iOS screen time app. Youth who more frequently checked their phones throughout the day, on average, showed greater variability in negative affect. At the within-person level, lower positive affect on a given day was associated with greater pickups the following day for youth lower in trait-level mindfulness. However, the opposite direction of effects (pickups preceding affect) did not emerge, nor did concurrent associations between pickups and affect. Results highlight the complexity of day-to-day relationships among adolescents' smartphone use, affect, and mindfulness, and point to the need for more research examining specific smartphone behaviors.</p>","PeriodicalId":29936,"journal":{"name":"Psychology of Popular Media","volume":"15 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13733559/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149335367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author concluded that social media effects were not statistically different from zero. However, this meta-analysis did not investigate potential moderating effects of length of social media reduction or abstinence interventions. We conducted a reanalysis to investigate the impact of social media reduction/abstinence intervention length on mental health outcomes. We used the information available on the Open Science Framework platform related to the original meta-analysis and excluded seven studies because they were not reduction/abstinence interventions. We categorized studies into those with intervention lengths of <1 versus 1 week or longer and also tested for curvilinear relationships between intervention length (weeks and days as continuous variables) and outcomes by including quadratic terms. Stratified analyses indicated that interventions of <1 week resulted in significantly worse mental health outcomes (<i>d</i> = -0.175), while interventions of 1 week or longer resulted in significant improvements (<i>d</i> = 0.156). Analyses of intervention length as continuous moderator included 19 studies and showed significant quadratic effects for number of weeks (<i>p</i> = .013) and number of days (<i>p</i> = .018). These findings suggest that social media use reduction/abstinence interventions should have a minimum length of 1 week or longer to confer mental health benefits. An ideal intervention length may be around 3 weeks, but future research is needed to confirm this.</p>","PeriodicalId":29936,"journal":{"name":"Psychology of Popular Media","volume":"14 2","pages":"207-209"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12125955/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144200244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
