Overview

Longitudinal analysis shows increased depressive symptoms in adolescents with problematic social media use, indicating gender and age factors.

Key Points

  • Increased depressive symptoms were linked to problematic social media use in adolescents, particularly among girls.
  • The analysis involved longitudinal data from 2,121 adolescents over two time points, emphasizing the severity of symptoms.
  • Quantile regression models illustrated that higher social media use frequency predicts greater depressive symptoms, especially in younger individuals.
  • Findings suggest tailored interventions for social media use may be beneficial based on age, gender, and baseline mental health status.
