Implication

Longitudinal study reveals reciprocal relationship between social media posting and social support in adolescents, highlighting the roles of self-esteem and tech attitudes.

Key Points

More perceived social support from close friends led to increased social media posting among adolescents in late adolescence.
Significant benefits from social media posting were especially noted for adolescents from low SES backgrounds and with lower self-esteem.
The study utilized a longitudinal design to focus on changes in posting behaviors and social support over two years.
Findings suggest that technology attitudes can hinder social support benefits from social media postings among adolescents.
