Adolescent Social Media Impact

Response to Colleague’s Post on Adolescent Mental Health and Social Media Use

Thank you for your insightful post examining the relationship between adolescent mental health and social media use. Your research problem is timely and highly relevant in the context of rising concerns about depression, anxiety, and body image issues in youth populations. To further strengthen your literature search, I’d like to suggest a few additional keywords and subject terms that may help you uncover broader and deeper insights:

1. Keywords:

   • “Digital media and youth”

   • “Online peer comparison”

   • “Cyberpsychology”

   • “Social networking and adolescent behavior”

   • “Technology and psychological well-being”

2. Subject Terms (controlled vocabulary):

   • From PsycINFO’s thesaurus: Social Media, Adolescent Behavior, Emotional Adjustment, Internet Use, and Psychological Effects

   • From PubMed’s MeSH terms: Social Media, Adolescent, Mental Health, Behavioral Symptoms, and Self Concept

3. Databases:While PsycINFO and PubMed are excellent starting points, I recommend exploring:

   • ERIC (Education Resources Information Center): Offers research linking school environments and adolescent mental well-being.

   • SocINDEX: Contains sociological perspectives on adolescent identity development and technology.

   • ScienceDirect: Offers access to journals like Journal of Affective Disorders and Computers in Human Behavior, which frequently publish research in this area.

4. Additional Resources:

   • The Pew Research Center (https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/): Offers data and trend analysis on teen social media use and attitudes.

   • The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP): Offers policy statements and recommendations on digital media use in children and adolescents.

These additions could help you refine your scope and make your findings more interdisciplinary.
