Does social media harm everyone? No. But it harms *most* adolescents, according to a new study. And not all platforms have harmful effects. A new analysis of 44,211 daily diaries from 479 adolescents over 100 days finds that the majority of adolescents (60%) experienced small, but consistently negative effects of social media, suggesting that social media use is a notable contributor to mental health issues. However, a minority (13.6%) of adolescents experienced simultaneously harms and benefits across different dimensions of their mental health. Exploratory analyses revealed negative impacts of TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram use and positive or null effects of Snapchat and WhatsAp. This means that social media doesn't have to be harmful. link.springer.com/article/10.100…
