Abstract

Adolescents are spending more and more time on social media and studying how this is associated to their mental health has become an important focus of research. However, most studies have studied social media use in general and have overlooked the variance in social media activity. That is, the differences in activities within social media. This is a pilot study that sets out to understand whether it is relevant to explore social media as a composite measure while accounting for gender differences.
