♀️♂️ "...for females, we observed a window of sensitivity to social media between the ages of 11 and 13, when increases in estimated social media use from expected levels predicted a decrease in life satisfaction ratings from expected levels one year later... For males a similar window was in evidence at ages 14 and 15... ...the sex difference in timing suggested that early increases in sensitivity to social media might be due to maturational processes such as puberty, which occur earlier in females compared to males. A later increase in sensitivity to social media, which was present at age 19 for both sexes, suggested a different underlying process may be present in late adolescence... ...Particularly, the lack of sex differences indicated a process that similarly affects both males and females... this might be related to changes in the social environment such as a move away from home and subsequent disruptions in social networks..." https://lnkd.in/gPNsrkFu
