This study assessed patterns of social media behaviors in Australian adolescents and examined whether these behaviors differed by sociodemographic and psychosocial factors. Methods The sample comprised 3860 adolescents ( M age =16.1, 51.4% female, 44.7% male, 3.9% gender diverse). Participants reported on common ways of using social media (e.g. communicating with others known or not known in real life, scrolling/viewing content, and posting/sharing content) and problematic social media behaviors (e.g. social comparison, social validation, frequent posting, posting negative personal content). Cross-sectional linear mixed models examined social media behaviors by gender, sexuality, neurodiversity, linguistic diversity, regionality of school, socioeconomic status, negative family interactions, loneliness, school connectedness, and psychological distress. Results Most adolescents reported spending two or more hours a day on social media. Differential associations with social media behaviors were observed across most factors. Largest differences were observed among female and gender diverse individuals (v. males), and those reporting greater negative family interactions, distress, and loneliness, who reported more frequent posting and viewing of content, and greater use of social media for social validation and social comparison. Conclusions Our findings show that sociodemographic and psychosocial factors are associated with differential patterns of social media behaviors in adolescents. Further research should assess whether differences in patterns of social media behaviors contribute to variation in the impact of social media on adolescent mental health. social media posting content social comparison social validation adolescent health technology use Figures Figure 1 Figure 2 Introduction The last two decades have seen exponential growth in the use of social media, both as a platform for digital communication and as an augmentation of an individual’s social connectedness ( 1 – 3 ). The integration of social media into the lives of adolescents is considerable, with multinational studies finding that 77–87% of adolescents use social media ( 4 ), and that a third of adolescents use it to stay in near constant contact with friends ( 5 ). Because adolescence is a period of rapid cognitive, psychological, and behavioral development, examining the impact of social media use on adolescent mental health is increasingly important to researchers, educators, mental health practitioners and policy makers aiming to strengthen adolescent wellbeing ( 6 – 8 ). Notably, much of the literature in this area is reliant upon quantitative self-report measures of time spent on social media, which have been shown to be limited in both accuracy and validity ( 9 , 10 ). However, increasing evidence suggests that how adolescents engage with social media, as well as their individual psychosocial characteristics, are key considerations in the interplay between social media use and mental health outcomes ( 6 , 11 , 12 ). Shifting the question from “how much” to “how” an adolescent engages with social media expands our ability to both conceptualize and identify its potential impact on mental health. Social media can be used for various purposes; for example, to stay connected with friends and family, to meet people with shared interests, to view content related to friends or interests, or to post and share content. Each of these behaviors are likely to have their own discrete social motivations and expectations, including strategies for emotion regulation such as distraction, social sharing, and support seeking ( 13 , 14 ). Indeed, a recent narrative review found that adolescents themselves identify positive and negative consequences of social media use, appreciating the way it can facilitate self-expression, social engagement, and access to social support, while simultaneously expressing concerns around the increased pressure to stay connected and the exposure to negative social interactions such as cyberbullying ( 15 ). The question of “who” is engaging in specific social media behaviors is also critically important. A recent review presented several cognitive and behavioral mechanisms that may interact with an adolescents’ pre-existing neurobiological stress sensitivities to exacerbate psychological consequences of social media use ( 6 ). As developmental research has identified adolescence as a period of heightened sensitivity to social feedback ( 16 ), specific social media behaviors such as excessive posting, and/or cognitive motivations such as using social media for social validation or comparison, or expecting rapid responses to messages or posts, may be amplified in terms of their impact on stress systems ( 6 ). These behaviors and motivations have gained increasing attention as “problematic social media behaviors”, which can also include activities such as posting negative personal content, as well as psychological responses such as how emotionally charged receiving likes, comments, and views to a social media post may feel ( 7 ). As sensitivity to social feedback outside of social media has shown to differ by both identity and relational factors during adolescence ( 17 – 19 ), any potential impact of social media use on mental health is likely to vary in similar ways. With this in mind, understanding how certain subgroups of adolescents use social media may provide insight into how social media has a differential influence on the mental health of some young people over others. For example, recent evidence suggests that patterns of screen use vary by sociodemographic characteristics such as gender identity, sexuality, neurodiversity, and socioeconomic status ( 20 – 24 ). Notably, those who identify as female or gender diverse, have a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), are sexuality diverse (including adolescents who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, or questioning), or are socioeconomically disadvantaged are known to be at higher risk for the development of mental health disorders ( 25 – 28 ). These sociodemographic characteristics are also emerging as potential moderators of the relationship between social media use and mental health ( 7 , 29 ). Although one may hypothesize that social media use would amplify these groups’ pre-existing stress sensitivities, it is also possible that social media use has the opposite effect by fostering social connection among at least some of these individuals who lack strong ties within their immediate communities. There is empirical evidence to support this assertion. For example, the use of social media in behavioral interventions for those with autism is associated with improved social engagement ( 30 ), and sexuality and gender diverse adolescents have reported social media to be a positive source of peer support ( 31 ). Little is known, however, about whether these subgroups of adolescents differ in their specific social media behaviors. Importantly, psychosocial factors known to increase risk for mental health conditions may also be associated with specific patterns of social media behavior. For example, a recent systematic review reported that factors such as poor social relationships and greater negative emotions were associated with more frequent problematic social media behaviors in adolescents ( 7 ). Similarly, another study found that adolescents with internalizing disorders such as anxiety and depression engaged in more problematic patterns of social media use; specifically spending longer periods of time on social media, engaging in social comparison more frequently, and reporting greater emotional attachment to feedback received on social media ( 11 ). While these findings demonstrate that social media behaviors differ among those with and without mental health symptoms, to our knowledge no study has examined these individual behaviors by psychosocial factors known to increase risk of psychopathology, such as negative family interactions, connectedness at school, loneliness, and psychological distress. The overall objective of this study was to understand how adolescents’ social media behaviors vary by sociodemographic and psychosocial characteristics, in order to inform more nuanced research into potential associations between social media behaviors and mental health. Guided by this objective, this study had three aims. The first aim was to describe overall patterns of social media use and problematic social media behaviors in a population sample of adolescents. The second aim was to examine whether these patterns differed by sociodemographic subgroups including gender identity, sexuality, neurodiversity, cultural and linguistic diversity, regionality, and socioeconomic status. The third aim was to examine whether psychosocial factors (negative family interactions, psychological distress, loneliness, school connectedness) were cross-sectionally associated with different patterns of social media use and problematic social media behaviors. Given the limited existing literature differences in social media behaviors by these factors, our analyses were exploratory and had no specific hypotheses. Methods Participants and procedure This study draws on data collected in the 2023 wave of the Future Proofing Study, a large longitudinal school-based cohort study of adolescent mental health in Australia. Ethical oversight for all study procedures was approved by the University of New South Wales (NSW) Human Research Ethics Committee (HC180836/iRECS4468), the State Education Research Applications Process for the NSW Department of Education (SERAP2019201), and relevant Catholic Schools Dioceses across Australia. The larger trial was registered with the Australian and New Zealand Clinical Trial Registry (ACTRN12619000855123). A detailed account of the Future Proofing Study sampling, recruitment, and data collection procedures is available in the cohort profile ( 32 ). Prior to any data collection, informed consent was obtained from both the adolescent and their parent/caregiver. Data was collected during a school visit during which adolescents completed an online battery of questionnaires facilitated by research assistants. The analytic sample for the current study included any participant who completed an assessment for the Future Proofing Study during the 2023 school year (February-December). As such, a total of N = 3860 adolescents were included in the current study. Participants were enrolled in school years 10–12 ( M age =16.1, SD = 0.75). Demographic characteristics for the current study sample can be found in Table 1 . Table 1 Psychological constructs assessed in the problematic social media use measure . Construct Item language Social validation I tend to look at the social media content of others to see if others are feeling the way I am Social comparison Looking at the social media content of others tends to make me feel down on myself Emotional valence of response (disappointment) When I share something on social media and no one responds/views, I tend to be disappointed Emotional valence of response (neutrality) When I share something on social media and no one responds or views it, it does not affect me Expectation of response When I share something on social media, I expect others to respond Posting negative personal content I sometimes share negative things about myself on social media to see if others will respond with negative comments about me Posting multiple times a day I share things on social media multiple times a day Measures Age . Participants reported their date of birth at baseline, which was used to calculate age at assessment. Gender. Participants reported current gender identity with options: male; female; non-binary; other; and prefer not to say. Responses were categorized into ‘male’, ‘female’, and ‘gender diverse’ (non-binary, other, and prefer not to say). Sexuality . Participants reported their sexuality using the options: heterosexual or straight; gay or lesbian; bisexual; pansexual; asexual; other; not sure; and prefer not to say. To ensure sufficient statistical power, all responses other than ‘heterosexual or straight’ were combined and categorized into ‘sexuality diverse’. Cultural and linguistic diversity (CALD) . Participants were asked, “What language do you speak most at home?”. Due to low numbers of participants reporting individual languages other than English, responses were dichotomised into ‘English speaking family’ and ‘CALD family’. Neurodiversity . Neurodiversity was defined by self-reported presence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and/or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD or ADHD). Using a questionnaire to assess participants’ mental health history, they were asked, “Have you ever been diagnosed by a professional (e.g. a doctor or psychologist) with any of the following mental health problems? Pick all that apply” with “attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD or ADHD)” being listed among the options. During assessment of participants’ health history, they were asked, “Do you have any of these ongoing conditions? Ongoing conditions exist for some period of time (weeks, months, or years) or re-occur regularly. They do not have to be diagnosed by a doctor. Please select all that apply” with “Autism, Asperger’s, or other autism spectrum” listed among the options. The neurodiversity variable was created to be dichotomous such that if the participant endorsed either one of these conditions/diagnoses, they were coded as 1; all other participants were coded as 0. Regionality of school . Participants’ school-level geographical remoteness was assessed through the Accessibility and Remoteness Index of Australia with data obtained from the Australian Curriculum And Reporting Authority ( 33 ). To ensure sufficient statistical power, categories of remoteness were dichotomised as either metropolitan (schools assigned as “major cities”) or regional (schools assigned as “inner regional”, “outer regional”, “remote”, or “very remote”). Socioeconomic status . Participants’ home-area level socioeconomic status was determined using deciles of the Index of Relative Socio-economic Advantage and Disadvantage (IRSAD) ( 34 ). This index used 2021 census data aggregated at the postcode level to create a composite index of relative socioeconomic advantage and disadvantage. Lower values are reflective of greater socioeconomic disadvantage, while higher values are reflective of greater socioeconomic advantage. Negative family interactions . Participants’ negative family interactions were assessed using the Schuster Social Support Scale ( 35 ). This 5-item measure assessed both positive and negative support from an individual’s family (e.g. “How often do family criticize you?”). For the current study, only the 3-item subscale measuring negative family interactions was used. Items were rated on a 4-point Likert scale (1 = never to 4 = often) and the subscale score was calculated by averaging the items. Higher scores indicated greater levels of demands, criticism, and arguments in family interactions. Internal consistency for the subscale was high (α = .85). Psychological distress . Participant levels of psychological distress were assessed using the 5-item version of the Distress Questionnaire ( 36 ). Participants were asked to rate the frequency with which they had certain experiences (e.g., “My worries overwhelmed me.”) on a 5-item scale ranging from 1 (never) to 5 (always). Higher total scores indicate higher levels of psychological distress. Internal consistency was high (α = .89). Loneliness . Participants’ loneliness was assessed using a composite of the 4-item version of the UCLA Loneliness Scale ( 37 ) and a single loneliness item (“Do you feel lonely?” ( 38 )). On the UCLA Loneliness Scale, participants were asked to report the frequency of items (e.g., “How often do you feel left out?”) on a 4-point scale ranging from 1 (never) to 4 (often). Higher scores on the loneliness scale indicated higher levels of loneliness. For the single loneliness item, participants were asked to respond on a 4-point scale ranging from 1 (very often) to 4 (never). This item was reverse coded, and answers were added to the total score of the UCLA Loneliness Scale. Internal consistency for the five loneliness items (UCLA Loneliness Scale and single item loneliness question) was high (α = .90). School connectedness . Participants’ level of connectedness at school was assessed using six items from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Programme for International Student Assessment ( 39 ). Participants reported how strongly they agreed with each item (e.g., “I make friends easily at school”) on a scale from 1 (strongly agree) to 4 (strongly disagree). After reverse scoring three items, scores were summed to form a total score ranging from 6 to 24, with higher scores indicating greater levels of school connectedness. This measure had high internal consistency (α = .87). Ways of using social media . Participants reported how frequently they used social media for different purposes: (i) communicating with people known in real life, (ii) communicating with people met online, (iii) sharing or posting content publicly (including images, videos, posting in public forums, etc), and (iv) scrolling or viewing other peoples’ content. The frequency with which they engaged in these activities were rated on a 5-point scale from 1 (very often) to 5 (never). These responses were then reverse coded to improve interpretability, such that higher scores were reflective of greater frequency. Participants were also asked to report how much time they spent on social media each week, as well as daily time spent by social media platform (Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, Tumblr). Problematic social media use . Participants’ problematic social media use was assessed using an adapted version of the 7-item Problematic Facebook Usage Scale ( 40 ). The measure was adapted to be inclusive of all types of social media use, (e.g. “When I share something on social media and no one responds or views it, I tend to be disappointed”). Participants endorsed how much they agreed with each statement on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree). Higher responses on each item are reflective of greater agreement with the statement. To facilitate reporting and interpretation, each item was mapped onto its corresponding social construct (determined through discussion and consensus by the authors), reported in Table 1 . Statistical Analysis Descriptive analyses. All analyses were conducted using SPSS version 30 (IBM, Armonk, NY). First, the means and standard deviations of all continuous predictors, as well as frequencies (reported as n %) of all categorical predictors were calculated to assess patterns across the full sample. Frequencies of all responses to the social media measures were similarly assessed. Results from descriptive analyses can be found in Table 2 . Table 2 Sample characteristics. Age, mean (SD) 16.07 (0.75) Gender, n (%) Male 1726 (44.7%) Female 1984 (51.4%) Gender diverse 150 (3.9%) Language spoken most at home, n (%) English 3588 (93.0%) Others 268 (7.0%) Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander identity, n (%) Not Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander 3628 (94.1%) Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander 151 (3.9%) Prefer not to answer 78 (2.0%) Socioeconomic status (IRSAD decile), n (%) Below 50th percentile 2780 (73.0%) Above 50th percentile 1027 (27.0%) Regionality, n (%) Metropolitan area 3007 (78.0%) Regional area 850 (22.0%) Sexuality, n (%) Heterosexual 2821 (74.4%) Sexuality diverse 972 (25.6%) Neurodiversity, n (%) No reported ADHD or ASD 3445 (89.2) ADHD and/or ASD 415 (10.8) Psychological distress , Range 5–25 Mean (SD), 11.50 (4.99) Negative family interactions , Range 1–4 Mean (SD) 2.39 (0.85) Loneliness , Range 5–25 Mean (SD) 11.03 (3.94) School connectedness , Range 6–24 Mean (SD) 18.05 (3.64) Main analyses. To determine the most appropriate approach for testing associations between subgroups and psychological variables of interest with social media behaviors, responses to each item on both the ways of using social media measure and the problematic social media behaviors measure were examined for clustering at the school level as well as for skew and kurtosis. Results of intraclass correlations found clustering ranged from 1–11% among items, supporting the use of linear mixed modelling to adjust for clustering at the school level. Intraclass correlation values for all outcomes are reported in Supplementary Table 1. Two items were found to have high skew values (+-2), which could potentially violate assumptions of normality in linear mixed modelling. As such, a sensitivity analysis was performed comparing generalized mixed modelling to linear mixed modelling for these two items. Results showed no differences in either the direction or significance of results for models using either generalized or linear mixed modelling, with improved fit statistics (as measured by lower Akaike’s information criterion and Bodzogan’s criterion values) using linear mixed modelling. Results from these sensitivity analyses can be found in Supplementary Table 2. As such, a series of multilevel linear mixed models using random intercepts to account for clustering within schools were conducted. All models adjusted for school-level clustering by including the school identification number as a random effect in the model. Each independent variable was assessed as a sole predictor of each item in the two measures in its own model. To obtain standardized effect sizes for all categorical variables in the linear mixed models (gender identity, sexuality, neurodiversity, CALD status, and regionality), unstandardized beta coefficients were divided by the standard deviation for the outcome variable in the model. To obtain standardized effect sizes for all continuous variables in the linear mixed models (socioeconomic status, negative family interactions, psychological distress, loneliness, and school connectedness), unstandardized beta coefficients were first multiplied by the standard deviation of the predictor variable, and the result was divided by the standard deviation of the outcome variable. Benjamini-Hochberg corrections were performed to adjust for multiple comparisons using an alpha level of .05. Results Descriptive Analyses Table 2 reports sample characteristics on all key variables assessed as part of our subgroup analyses. Table 3 reports patterns of social media use across all social media measures for the overall sample. Broadly, most of the sample (66.1%) reported spending at least two or more hours per day on social media, with the most frequently endorsed category being 2–3 hours of social media use per day (22.2%). While Instagram was the most endorsed social media platform used (followed by Snapchat, TikTok, and YouTube), most participants (55.6%) endorsed spending an hour or less per day on Instagram. Most of the sample reported using Snapchat (63.1%), TikTok (87.2%), and YouTube (60.7%) more than one hour per day, with TikTok having the highest endorsement of use over five hours or more (9.9%). When participants were asked how they used social media, they reported most frequently spending time communicating with people they know in real life (82.6%), followed by scrolling or viewing other people’s content (70.5%).

Adolescents who were gender diverse, sexuality diverse, or neurodivergent reported the opposite pattern: communicating less frequently with people they knew and more frequently with people they met online, relative to those who were male, heterosexual, and neurotypical, respectively. Among psychosocial factors, lower psychological distress and loneliness, and higher school connectedness were associated with more frequent communication with known people. Conversely, higher psychological distress, loneliness, and negative family interactions, and lower school connectedness were associated with more frequent communication with people met online. Sharing/posting and viewing/scrolling Female and gender diverse adolescents reported more frequently sharing/posting public content and scrolling/viewing others’ content than males. Similarly, sexuality diverse adolescents reported more frequent sharing/posting public content and scrolling/viewing others’ content than heterosexual adolescents. Adolescents who attended school in metropolitan areas (vs rural areas) reported more frequently viewing/scrolling others’ content, and those with greater socioeconomic advantage reported more frequently viewing/scrolling others’ content and less frequently sharing/posting public content. Among psychosocial factors, greater negative family interactions, psychological distress, and loneliness were significantly associated with more frequently sharing/posting public content and viewing/scrolling others’ content, while greater school connectedness was associated with less frequently sharing/posting public content. Problematic social media use . Full results of all linear mixed models assessing the problematic social media use items are reported in Table 5 and visualized in Figs. 1 and 2 . The largest effect sizes showed that female and gender diverse adolescents and those with higher levels of negative family interactions, psychological distress, and loneliness, had greater endorsement of social validation and social comparison behaviors, as well as stronger disappointment in lack of responses to social media posts. In contrast, higher school connectedness was significantly associated with lower endorsement of social validation and social comparison behaviors, although effect sizes were slightly smaller. All other effects for problematic social media behaviors were small to moderate in size. Greater psychosocial risks, including negative family interactions, psychological distress, and loneliness were consistently associated with higher endorsement of all problematic social media behaviors assessed. Associations between other sociodemographic subgroups and problematic social media behaviors were less consistent. Results from all models can be viewed in Table 5 .

The largest effect sizes were observed in using social media for the purpose of social validation and social comparison, as well as in feelings of disappointment when others did not respond to social media posts. These behaviors were reported more by female and gender diverse adolescents, and those with higher levels of negative family experiences, psychological distress, and loneliness. These behaviors were also more frequently endorsed by adolescents who were sexuality diverse and had lower levels of connectedness at school, albeit with smaller effect sizes. Broadly, differences in social media behaviors were observed across most of the sociodemographic and psychosocial factors examined. These findings demonstrate previously unexplored heterogeneity in patterns of social media use among adolescents, which are hidden when studies only assess the amount of time spent on social media. Through examining social media behaviors by these factors at the item level, our study is the first to demonstrate that gender and psychosocial functioning, which have been speculated to be key moderators of the effects of social media use on mental health, are also associated with distinctly different patterns of social media behaviors. Of all factors examined, gender identity was the most consistent characteristic associated with differential social media use patterns. Both female and gender diverse adolescents endorsed higher frequency of viewing/sharing public content than males, as well as greater endorsement of problematic social media behaviors driven by social validation, social comparison, and feelings of disappointment when others did not respond to their posts. This is in line with research showing greater problematic screen and social media use in females and gender diverse young people ( 22 , 24 , 29 ). Interestingly, females endorsed more frequent communication with people they knew already and less frequent communication with people they met online relatively to males, however, this pattern was reversed in those who identified as gender diverse. This may reflect the social difficulties that gender diverse adolescents often experience, and aligns with previous findings that gender diverse adolescents use social media to access supportive spaces for affirmation and connection ( 29 , 41 ). Similar social media communication patterns were observed in sexuality diverse and neurodivergent adolescents, who reported communicating more frequently with people met online and less frequently with known people compared with their heterosexual and neurotypical peers. These patterns suggest that social media may provide a useful social platform for groups who have traditionally experienced stigma, providing them with opportunities to access, learn from, and engage with others who share their identities ( 20 , 30 , 41 ). Notably, these groups also endorsed greater use of social media for social validation, a behavior that has been linked to poorer mental health and wellbeing ( 42 ). However, engagement in social validation by these groups may also speak to a larger sense of social disconnection faced by these adolescents in their daily lives. Furthermore, associations between social comparison and validation behaviors with mental health have shown to be highly heterogenous ( 43 , 44 ). Our findings suggest that the social dynamics of social media use vary by these important identity characteristics, and further research is needed to determine how this variation is associated with mental health risk in these groups. Other characteristics such as socioeconomic status and regionality of school were also associated with different social media behaviors, although less consistently and with small effect sizes. Both metropolitan location and higher socioeconomic advantage were associated with more frequent viewing/scrolling others’ content, greater expectation of a response to posting on social media, greater disappointment at a lack of response, and less posting of negative personal content. These differential associations indicate that socioeconomic and regional factors are relevant to how adolescents use social media and are worthy of further consideration when examining the impact of social media on adolescent health. Interestingly, we did not find that cultural and linguistic diversity was associated with any differences in social media behaviors. It is important to note, however, that only 7% of our sample identified as culturally or linguistically diverse, and that within this small group there were many different cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Future research with adequate cultural representation would do well to examine potential associations with greater nuance. Apart from gender identity, psychosocial risk factors were the most reliably associated with problematic social media behaviors. The most pronounced associations were observed in those reporting higher levels of loneliness, psychological distress, and negative family interactions. These factors were associated with greater use of social media for social comparison and social validation, greater expectation of response to posts and disappointment at a lack of response, and greater testing of negative self-perceptions. These psychosocial risk factors were also associated with posting multiple times a day on the problematic social media use scale. These findings align with a recent longitudinal study which found that adolescents who frequently posted content were the most likely to experience poor mental health over time ( 45 ). Our study had several strengths, including the use of recent data collected from a large representative sample, assessment of social media behaviors at the item level, and inclusion of a broad range of sociodemographic and psychosocial factors. However, key limitations and methodological considerations are important to note. First, our cross-sectional study design cannot address questions related to causality. That said, even using a cross-sectional approach, our findings suggest that the social dynamics of social media use vary by these important identity characteristics, and further research is needed to determine how this variation is associated with subsequent mental health outcomes in these adolescents. Second, while our analyses were intended to be comprehensive of sociodemographic groups and psychosocial factors thought to be most salient to the question of social media use and mental health, our list is not exhaustive, and other factors may be important to consider in future research. Relatedly, although our analyses assessed many sociodemographic and psychosocial factors independently, adolescents have overlapping intersectional identities and many of these characteristics are likely interact with one another in their associations with social media behaviors. It was beyond the research aims of this paper to probe the many possible interactions between factors, but future research to understand differential impacts of social media on mental health may examine the role of intersectional identities. Lastly, our study relied on retrospective self-report measures to assess adolescents’ social media behaviors, which are potentially biased by social desirability responding as well as the adolescents’ memory and/or awareness of their behaviors. Future research using objective measurements (i.e. data scraping apps) or more frequent measurements using ecological momentary assessment methodologies, together with self-reported motivation and emotional responses to social media use, would likely provide a more comprehensive picture of adolescents’ social media behaviors. Conclusion Our findings highlight that social media behaviors among adolescents differ substantially by sociodemographic and psychosocial factors. Adolescents who were female or gender diverse, sexuality diverse, and neurodivergent, as well as those with higher negative family experiences, loneliness, and psychological distress more frequently reported problematic social media behaviors such as social comparison and social validation. Concurrently, identity characteristics such as gender diversity, sexuality diversity, and neurodiversity were associated with using social media to augment real-life social circles, potentially increasing social connection amongst these often-marginalized groups. These findings have important implications for researchers, educators, mental health practitioners, and policy makers who focus on adolescent health; most notably, that who an adolescent is and how they are engaging with social media must be considered when examining potential influences of social media use on mental health. Our findings challenge normative approaches to social media research and suggest that future investigations should examine interactions between identity characteristics, psychosocial factors, and social media behaviors to develop more nuanced models of potential links between social media and adolescent mental health.

Behavior","fulltext":[{"header":"Introduction","content":"\u003cp\u003eThe last two decades have seen exponential growth in the use of social media, both as a platform for digital communication and as an augmentation of an individual\u0026rsquo;s social connectedness (\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR2\" citationid=\"CR1\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e). The integration of social media into the lives of adolescents is considerable, with multinational studies finding that 77\u0026ndash;87% of adolescents use social media (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR4\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e), and that a third of adolescents use it to stay in near constant contact with friends (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR5\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e5\u003c/span\u003e). Because adolescence is a period of rapid cognitive, psychological, and behavioral development, examining the impact of social media use on adolescent mental health is increasingly important to researchers, educators, mental health practitioners and policy makers aiming to strengthen adolescent wellbeing (\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR7\" citationid=\"CR6\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e6\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR8\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e8\u003c/span\u003e). Notably, much of the literature in this area is reliant upon quantitative self-report measures of time spent on social media, which have been shown to be limited in both accuracy and validity (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e9\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR10\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e10\u003c/span\u003e). However, increasing evidence suggests that \u003cem\u003ehow\u003c/em\u003e adolescents engage with social media, as well as their individual psychosocial characteristics, are key considerations in the interplay between social media use and mental health outcomes (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR6\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e6\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR11\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e11\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR12\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e12\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShifting the question from \u0026ldquo;how much\u0026rdquo; to \u0026ldquo;how\u0026rdquo; an adolescent engages with social media expands our ability to both conceptualize and identify its potential impact on mental health. Social media can be used for various purposes; for example, to stay connected with friends and family, to meet people with shared interests, to view content related to friends or interests, or to post and share content. Each of these behaviors are likely to have their own discrete social motivations and expectations, including strategies for emotion regulation such as distraction, social sharing, and support seeking (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR13\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e13\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR14\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e14\u003c/span\u003e). Indeed, a recent narrative review found that adolescents themselves identify positive and negative consequences of social media use, appreciating the way it can facilitate self-expression, social engagement, and access to social support, while simultaneously expressing concerns around the increased pressure to stay connected and the exposure to negative social interactions such as cyberbullying (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR15\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e15\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe question of \u0026ldquo;who\u0026rdquo; is engaging in specific social media behaviors is also critically important. A recent review presented several cognitive and behavioral mechanisms that may interact with an adolescents\u0026rsquo; pre-existing neurobiological stress sensitivities to exacerbate psychological consequences of social media use (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR6\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e6\u003c/span\u003e). As developmental research has identified adolescence as a period of heightened sensitivity to social feedback (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR16\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e16\u003c/span\u003e), specific social media behaviors such as excessive posting, and/or cognitive motivations such as using social media for social validation or comparison, or expecting rapid responses to messages or posts, may be amplified in terms of their impact on stress systems (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR6\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e6\u003c/span\u003e). These behaviors and motivations have gained increasing attention as \u0026ldquo;problematic social media behaviors\u0026rdquo;, which can also include activities such as posting negative personal content, as well as psychological responses such as how emotionally charged receiving likes, comments, and views to a social media post may feel (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e). As sensitivity to social feedback outside of social media has shown to differ by both identity and relational factors during adolescence (\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR18\" citationid=\"CR17\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e17\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR19\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e19\u003c/span\u003e), any potential impact of social media use on mental health is likely to vary in similar ways.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith this in mind, understanding how certain subgroups of adolescents use social media may provide insight into how social media has a differential influence on the mental health of some young people over others. For example, recent evidence suggests that patterns of screen use vary by sociodemographic characteristics such as gender identity, sexuality, neurodiversity, and socioeconomic status (\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR21 CR22 CR23\" citationid=\"CR20\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e20\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR24\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e24\u003c/span\u003e). Notably, those who identify as female or gender diverse, have a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), are sexuality diverse (including adolescents who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, or questioning), or are socioeconomically disadvantaged are known to be at higher risk for the development of mental health disorders (\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR26 CR27\" citationid=\"CR25\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e25\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR28\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e28\u003c/span\u003e). These sociodemographic characteristics are also emerging as potential moderators of the relationship between social media use and mental health (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR29\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e29\u003c/span\u003e). Although one may hypothesize that social media use would amplify these groups\u0026rsquo; pre-existing stress sensitivities, it is also possible that social media use has the opposite effect by fostering social connection among at least some of these individuals who lack strong ties within their immediate communities. There is empirical evidence to support this assertion. For example, the use of social media in behavioral interventions for those with autism is associated with improved social engagement (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR30\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e30\u003c/span\u003e), and sexuality and gender diverse adolescents have reported social media to be a positive source of peer support (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR31\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e31\u003c/span\u003e). Little is known, however, about whether these subgroups of adolescents differ in their specific social media behaviors.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eImportantly, psychosocial factors known to increase risk for mental health conditions may also be associated with specific patterns of social media behavior. For example, a recent systematic review reported that factors such as poor social relationships and greater negative emotions were associated with more frequent problematic social media behaviors in adolescents (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e). Similarly, another study found that adolescents with internalizing disorders such as anxiety and depression engaged in more problematic patterns of social media use; specifically spending longer periods of time on social media, engaging in social comparison more frequently, and reporting greater emotional attachment to feedback received on social media (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR11\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e11\u003c/span\u003e). While these findings demonstrate that social media behaviors differ among those with and without mental health symptoms, to our knowledge no study has examined these individual behaviors by psychosocial factors known to increase risk of psychopathology, such as negative family interactions, connectedness at school, loneliness, and psychological distress.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe overall objective of this study was to understand how adolescents\u0026rsquo; social media behaviors vary by sociodemographic and psychosocial characteristics, in order to inform more nuanced research into potential associations between social media behaviors and mental health. Guided by this objective, this study had three aims. The first aim was to describe overall patterns of social media use and problematic social media behaviors in a population sample of adolescents. The second aim was to examine whether these patterns differed by sociodemographic subgroups including gender identity, sexuality, neurodiversity, cultural and linguistic diversity, regionality, and socioeconomic status. The third aim was to examine whether psychosocial factors (negative family interactions, psychological distress, loneliness, school connectedness) were cross-sectionally associated with different patterns of social media use and problematic social media behaviors. Given the limited existing literature differences in social media behaviors by these factors, our analyses were exploratory and had no specific hypotheses.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Methods","content":"\u003cdiv id=\"Sec3\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003eParticipants and procedure\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis study draws on data collected in the 2023 wave of the Future Proofing Study, a large longitudinal school-based cohort study of adolescent mental health in Australia.

Neurodiversity was defined by self-reported presence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and/or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD or ADHD). Using a questionnaire to assess participants\u0026rsquo; mental health history, they were asked, \u0026ldquo;Have you ever been diagnosed by a professional (e.g. a doctor or psychologist) with any of the following mental health problems? Pick all that apply\u0026rdquo; with \u0026ldquo;attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD or ADHD)\u0026rdquo; being listed among the options. During assessment of participants\u0026rsquo; health history, they were asked, \u0026ldquo;Do you have any of these ongoing conditions? Ongoing conditions exist for some period of time (weeks, months, or years) or re-occur regularly. They do not have to be diagnosed by a doctor. Please select all that apply\u0026rdquo; with \u0026ldquo;Autism, Asperger\u0026rsquo;s, or other autism spectrum\u0026rdquo; listed among the options. The neurodiversity variable was created to be dichotomous such that if the participant endorsed either one of these conditions/diagnoses, they were coded as 1; all other participants were coded as 0.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eRegionality of school\u003c/b\u003e.

To ensure sufficient statistical power, categories of remoteness were dichotomised as either metropolitan (schools assigned as \u0026ldquo;major cities\u0026rdquo;) or regional (schools assigned as \u0026ldquo;inner regional\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;outer regional\u0026rdquo;, \u0026ldquo;remote\u0026rdquo;, or \u0026ldquo;very remote\u0026rdquo;).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eSocioeconomic status\u003c/b\u003e.

This index used 2021 census data aggregated at the postcode level to create a composite index of relative socioeconomic advantage and disadvantage. Lower values are reflective of greater socioeconomic disadvantage, while higher values are reflective of greater socioeconomic advantage.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eNegative family interactions\u003c/b\u003e. Participants\u0026rsquo; negative family interactions were assessed using the Schuster Social Support Scale (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR35\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e35\u003c/span\u003e). This 5-item measure assessed both positive and negative support from an individual\u0026rsquo;s family (e.g. \u0026ldquo;How often do family criticize you?\u0026rdquo;). For the current study, only the 3-item subscale measuring negative family interactions was used. Items were rated on a 4-point Likert scale (1\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;never to 4\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;often) and the subscale score was calculated by averaging the items. Higher scores indicated greater levels of demands, criticism, and arguments in family interactions. Internal consistency for the subscale was high (α\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;.85).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003ePsychological distress\u003c/b\u003e. Participant levels of psychological distress were assessed using the 5-item version of the Distress Questionnaire (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR36\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e36\u003c/span\u003e). Participants were asked to rate the frequency with which they had certain experiences (e.g., \u0026ldquo;My worries overwhelmed me.\u0026rdquo;) on a 5-item scale ranging from 1 (never) to 5 (always). Higher total scores indicate higher levels of psychological distress. Internal consistency was high (α\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;.89).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eLoneliness\u003c/b\u003e. Participants\u0026rsquo; loneliness was assessed using a composite of the 4-item version of the UCLA Loneliness Scale (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR37\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e37\u003c/span\u003e) and a single loneliness item (\u0026ldquo;Do you feel lonely?\u0026rdquo; (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR38\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e38\u003c/span\u003e)). On the UCLA Loneliness Scale, participants were asked to report the frequency of items (e.g., \u0026ldquo;How often do you feel left out?\u0026rdquo;) on a 4-point scale ranging from 1 (never) to 4 (often). Higher scores on the loneliness scale indicated higher levels of loneliness. For the single loneliness item, participants were asked to respond on a 4-point scale ranging from 1 (very often) to 4 (never). This item was reverse coded, and answers were added to the total score of the UCLA Loneliness Scale. Internal consistency for the five loneliness items (UCLA Loneliness Scale and single item loneliness question) was high (α\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;.90).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eSchool connectedness\u003c/b\u003e. Participants\u0026rsquo; level of connectedness at school was assessed using six items from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Programme for International Student Assessment (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR39\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e39\u003c/span\u003e). Participants reported how strongly they agreed with each item (e.g., \u0026ldquo;I make friends easily at school\u0026rdquo;) on a scale from 1 (strongly agree) to 4 (strongly disagree). After reverse scoring three items, scores were summed to form a total score ranging from 6 to 24, with higher scores indicating greater levels of school connectedness. This measure had high internal consistency (α\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;.87).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWays of using social media\u003c/b\u003e. Participants reported how frequently they used social media for different purposes: (i) communicating with people known in real life, (ii) communicating with people met online, (iii) sharing or posting content publicly (including images, videos, posting in public forums, etc), and (iv) scrolling or viewing other peoples\u0026rsquo; content. The frequency with which they engaged in these activities were rated on a 5-point scale from 1 (very often) to 5 (never). These responses were then reverse coded to improve interpretability, such that higher scores were reflective of greater frequency. Participants were also asked to report how much time they spent on social media each week, as well as daily time spent by social media platform (Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, Tumblr).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eProblematic social media use\u003c/b\u003e. Participants\u0026rsquo; problematic social media use was assessed using an adapted version of the 7-item Problematic Facebook Usage Scale (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR40\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e40\u003c/span\u003e). The measure was adapted to be inclusive of all types of social media use, (e.g. \u0026ldquo;When I share something on social media and no one responds or views it, I tend to be disappointed\u0026rdquo;). Participants endorsed how much they agreed with each statement on a 7-point scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree). Higher responses on each item are reflective of greater agreement with the statement. To facilitate reporting and interpretation, each item was mapped onto its corresponding social construct (determined through discussion and consensus by the authors), reported in Table\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Tab1\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"Sec5\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003eStatistical Analysis\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eDescriptive analyses.\u003c/b\u003e All analyses were conducted using SPSS version 30 (IBM, Armonk, NY).

behaviors, responses to each item on both the ways of using social media measure and the problematic social media behaviors measure were examined for clustering at the school level as well as for skew and kurtosis. Results of intraclass correlations found clustering ranged from 1\u0026ndash;11% among items, supporting the use of linear mixed modelling to adjust for clustering at the school level. Intraclass correlation values for all outcomes are reported in Supplementary Table\u0026nbsp;1. Two items were found to have high skew values (+-2), which could potentially violate assumptions of normality in linear mixed modelling. As such, a sensitivity analysis was performed comparing generalized mixed modelling to linear mixed modelling for these two items. Results showed no differences in either the direction or significance of results for models using either generalized or linear mixed modelling, with improved fit statistics (as measured by lower Akaike\u0026rsquo;s information criterion and Bodzogan\u0026rsquo;s criterion values) using linear mixed modelling. Results from these sensitivity analyses can be found in Supplementary Table\u0026nbsp;2.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs such, a series of multilevel linear mixed models using random intercepts to account for clustering within schools were conducted. All models adjusted for school-level clustering by including the school identification number as a random effect in the model. Each independent variable was assessed as a sole predictor of each item in the two measures in its own model. To obtain standardized effect sizes for all categorical variables in the linear mixed models (gender identity, sexuality, neurodiversity, CALD status, and regionality), unstandardized beta coefficients were divided by the standard deviation for the outcome variable in the model. To obtain standardized effect sizes for all continuous variables in the linear mixed models (socioeconomic status, negative family interactions, psychological distress, loneliness, and school connectedness), unstandardized beta coefficients were first multiplied by the standard deviation of the predictor variable, and the result was divided by the standard deviation of the outcome variable. Benjamini-Hochberg corrections were performed to adjust for multiple comparisons using an alpha level of .05.\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e"},{"header":"Results","content":"\u003cdiv id=\"Sec7\" class=\"Section2\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003eDescriptive Analyses\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eTable\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Tab2\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e reports sample characteristics on all key variables assessed as part of our subgroup analyses.

While Instagram was the most endorsed social media platform used (followed by Snapchat, TikTok, and YouTube), most participants (55.6%) endorsed spending an hour or less per day on Instagram. Most of the sample reported using Snapchat (63.1%), TikTok (87.2%), and YouTube (60.7%) more than one hour per day, with TikTok having the highest endorsement of use over five hours or more (9.9%). When participants were asked how they used social media, they reported most frequently spending time communicating with people they know in real life (82.6%), followed by scrolling or viewing other

Adolescents who were gender diverse, sexuality diverse, or neurodivergent reported the opposite pattern: communicating less frequently with people they knew and more frequently with people they met online, relative to those who were male, heterosexual, and neurotypical, respectively. Among psychosocial factors, lower psychological distress and loneliness, and higher school connectedness were associated with more frequent communication with known people. Conversely, higher psychological distress, loneliness, and negative family interactions, and lower school connectedness were associated with more frequent communication with people met online.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSharing/posting and viewing/scrolling\u003c/strong\u003e \u003cp\u003eFemale and gender diverse adolescents reported more frequently sharing/posting public content and scrolling/viewing others\u0026rsquo; content than males. Similarly, sexuality diverse adolescents reported more frequent sharing/posting public content and scrolling/viewing others\u0026rsquo; content than heterosexual adolescents. Adolescents who attended school in metropolitan areas (vs rural areas) reported more frequently viewing/scrolling others\u0026rsquo; content, and those with greater socioeconomic advantage reported more frequently viewing/scrolling others\u0026rsquo; content and less frequently sharing/posting public content. Among psychosocial factors, greater negative family interactions, psychological distress, and loneliness were significantly associated with more frequently sharing/posting public content and viewing/scrolling others\u0026rsquo; content, while greater school connectedness was associated with less frequently sharing/posting public content.\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eProblematic social media use\u003c/b\u003e.

The largest effect sizes showed that female and gender diverse adolescents and those with higher levels of negative family interactions, psychological distress, and loneliness, had greater endorsement of social validation and social comparison behaviors, as well as stronger disappointment in lack of responses to social media posts. In contrast, higher school connectedness was significantly associated with lower endorsement of social validation and social comparison behaviors, although effect sizes were slightly smaller. All other effects for problematic social media behaviors were small to moderate in size. Greater psychosocial risks, including negative family interactions, psychological distress, and loneliness were consistently associated with higher endorsement of all problematic social media behaviors assessed. Associations between other sociodemographic subgroups and problematic social media behaviors were less consistent.

psychosocial factors were associated with different patterns of social media behaviors. The largest effect sizes were observed in using social media for the purpose of social validation and social comparison, as well as in feelings of disappointment when others did not respond to social media posts. These behaviors were reported more by female and gender diverse adolescents, and those with higher levels of negative family experiences, psychological distress, and loneliness. These behaviors were also more frequently endorsed by adolescents who were sexuality diverse and had lower levels of connectedness at school, albeit with smaller effect sizes. Broadly, differences in social media behaviors were observed across most of the sociodemographic and psychosocial factors examined. These findings demonstrate previously unexplored heterogeneity in patterns of social media use among adolescents, which are hidden when studies only assess the amount of time spent on social media. Through examining social media behaviors by these factors at the item level, our study is the first to demonstrate that gender and psychosocial functioning, which have been speculated to be key moderators of the effects of social media use on mental health, are also associated with distinctly different patterns of social media behaviors.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOf all factors examined, gender identity was the most consistent characteristic associated with differential social media use patterns. Both female and gender diverse adolescents endorsed higher frequency of viewing/sharing public content than males, as well as greater endorsement of problematic social media behaviors driven by social validation, social comparison, and feelings of disappointment when others did not respond to their posts. This is in line with research showing greater problematic screen and social media use in females and gender diverse young people (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR22\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e22\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR24\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e24\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR29\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e29\u003c/span\u003e). Interestingly, females endorsed more frequent communication with people they knew already and less frequent communication with people they met online relatively to males, however, this pattern was reversed in those who identified as gender diverse. This may reflect the social difficulties that gender diverse adolescents often experience, and aligns with previous findings that gender diverse adolescents use social media to access supportive spaces for affirmation and connection (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR29\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e29\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR41\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e41\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSimilar social media communication patterns were observed in sexuality diverse and neurodivergent adolescents, who reported communicating more frequently with people met online and less frequently with known people compared with their heterosexual and neurotypical peers. These patterns suggest that social media may provide a useful social platform for groups who have traditionally experienced stigma, providing them with opportunities to access, learn from, and engage with others who share their identities (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR20\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e20\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR30\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e30\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR41\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e41\u003c/span\u003e). Notably, these groups also endorsed greater use of social media for social validation, a behavior that has been linked to poorer mental health and wellbeing (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR42\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e42\u003c/span\u003e). However, engagement in social validation by these groups may also speak to a larger sense of social disconnection faced by these adolescents in their daily lives. Furthermore, associations between social comparison and validation behaviors with mental health have shown to be highly heterogenous (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR43\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e43\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR44\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e44\u003c/span\u003e). Our findings suggest that the social dynamics of social media use vary by these important identity characteristics, and further research is needed to determine how this variation is associated with mental health risk in these groups.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOther characteristics such as socioeconomic status and regionality of school were also associated with different social media behaviors, although less consistently and with small effect sizes. Both metropolitan location and higher socioeconomic advantage were associated with more frequent viewing/scrolling others\u0026rsquo; content, greater expectation of a response to posting on social media, greater disappointment at a lack of response, and less posting of negative personal content. These differential associations indicate that socioeconomic and regional factors are relevant to how adolescents use social media and are worthy of further consideration when examining the impact of social media on adolescent health. Interestingly, we did not find that cultural and linguistic diversity was associated with any differences in social media behaviors. It is important to note, however, that only 7% of our sample identified as culturally or linguistically diverse, and that within this small group there were many different cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Future research with adequate cultural representation would do well to examine potential associations with greater nuance.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eApart from gender identity, psychosocial risk factors were the most reliably associated with problematic social media behaviors. The most pronounced associations were observed in those reporting higher levels of loneliness, psychological distress, and negative family interactions. These factors were associated with greater use of social media for social comparison and social validation, greater expectation of response to posts and disappointment at a lack of response, and greater testing of negative self-perceptions. These psychosocial risk factors were also associated with posting multiple times a day on the problematic social media use scale. These findings align with a recent longitudinal study which found that adolescents who frequently posted content were the most likely to experience poor mental health over time (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR45\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e45\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOur study had several strengths, including the use of recent data collected from a large representative sample, assessment of social media behaviors at the item level, and inclusion of a broad range of sociodemographic and psychosocial factors. However, key limitations and methodological considerations are important to note. First, our cross-sectional study design cannot address questions related to causality. That said, even using a cross-sectional approach, our findings suggest that the social dynamics of social media use vary by these important identity characteristics, and further research is needed to determine how this variation is associated with subsequent mental health outcomes in these adolescents. Second, while our analyses were intended to be comprehensive of sociodemographic groups and psychosocial factors thought to be most salient to the question of social media use and mental health, our list is not exhaustive, and other factors may be important to consider in future research. Relatedly, although our analyses assessed many sociodemographic and psychosocial factors independently, adolescents have overlapping intersectional identities and many of these characteristics are likely interact with one another in their associations with social media behaviors. It was beyond the research aims of this paper to probe the many possible interactions between factors, but future research to understand differential impacts of social media on mental health may examine the role of intersectional identities. Lastly, our study relied on retrospective self-report measures to assess adolescents\u0026rsquo; social media behaviors, which are potentially biased by social desirability responding as well as the adolescents\u0026rsquo; memory and/or awareness of their behaviors. Future research using objective measurements (i.e. data scraping apps) or more frequent measurements using ecological momentary assessment methodologies, together with self-reported motivation and emotional responses to social media use, would likely provide a more comprehensive picture of adolescents\u0026rsquo; social media behaviors.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Conclusion","content":"\u003cp\u003eOur findings highlight that social media behaviors among adolescents differ substantially by sociodemographic and psychosocial factors. Adolescents who were female or gender diverse, sexuality diverse, and neurodivergent, as well as those with higher negative family experiences, loneliness, and psychological distress more frequently reported problematic social media behaviors such as social comparison and social validation. Concurrently, identity characteristics such as gender diversity, sexuality diversity, and neurodiversity were associated with using social media to augment real-life social circles, potentially increasing social connection amongst these often-marginalized groups. These findings have important implications for researchers, educators, mental health practitioners, and policy makers who focus on adolescent health; most notably, that \u003cem\u003ewho\u003c/em\u003e an adolescent is and \u003cem\u003ehow\u003c/em\u003e they are engaging with social media must be considered when examining potential influences of social media use on mental health. Our findings challenge normative approaches to social media research and suggest that future investigations should examine interactions between identity characteristics, psychosocial factors, and social media behaviors to develop more nuanced models of potential links between social media and adolescent mental health.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Abbreviations","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"DefinitionList\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DefinitionListEntry\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Term\"\u003eASD\u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Description\"\u003e \u003cp\u003eautism spectrum disorder\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DefinitionListEntry\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Term\"\u003eADHD\u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Description\"\u003e \u003cp\u003eattention deficit hyperactivity disorder\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DefinitionListEntry\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Term\"\u003eNSW\u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Description\"\u003e \u003cp\u003eNew South Wales\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DefinitionListEntry\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Term\"\u003eCALD\u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Description\"\u003e \u003cp\u003eculturally and linguistically diverse\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DefinitionListEntry\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Term\"\u003eIRSAD\u003c/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Description\"\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex of relative socioeconomic advantage and disadvantage.\u003c/p\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003c/div\u003e \u003c/div\u003e"},{"header":"Declarations","content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEthics approval and consent to participate:\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEthical oversight for all study procedures was approved by the University of New South Wales (NSW) Human Research Ethics Committee (HC180836/iRECS4468), the State Education Research Applications Process for the NSW Department of Education (SERAP2019201), and relevant Catholic Schools Dioceses across Australia in line with the Australian National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research.

This study assessed patterns of social media behaviors in Australian adolescents and examined whether these behaviors differed by sociodemographic and psychosocial factors.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMethods\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe sample comprised 3860 adolescents (\u003cem\u003eM\u003c/em\u003e\u003csub\u003eage\u003c/sub\u003e=16.1, 51.4% female, 44.7% male, 3.9% gender diverse). Participants reported on common ways of using social media (e.g. communicating with others known or not known in real life, scrolling/viewing content, and posting/sharing content) and problematic social media behaviors (e.g. social comparison, social validation, frequent posting, posting negative personal content). Cross-sectional linear mixed models examined social media behaviors by gender, sexuality, neurodiversity, linguistic diversity, regionality of school, socioeconomic status, negative family interactions, loneliness, school connectedness, and psychological distress.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResults\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eMost adolescents reported spending two or more hours a day on social media. Differential associations with social media behaviors were observed across most factors. Largest differences were observed among female and gender diverse individuals (v. males), and those reporting greater negative family interactions, distress, and loneliness, who reported more frequent posting and viewing of content, and greater use of social media for social validation and social comparison.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConclusions\u003c/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eOur findings show that sociodemographic and psychosocial factors are associated with differential patterns of social media behaviors in adolescents. Further research should assess whether differences in patterns of social media behaviors contribute to variation in the impact of social media on adolescent mental health.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Not All Teens Scroll the Same: Patterns and Variation in Adolescent Social Media Behavior","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2026-02-09 07:28:39","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-8653667/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0},{"type":"decision","content":"Revision requested","date":"2026-03-17T05:37:08+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvitedReview","content":"","date":"2026-03-04T15:24:06+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvitedReview","content":"","date":"2026-02-23T20:13:59+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"60755056130697370939034131093386098905","date":"2026-02-07T06:58:39+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"166713359229700357740955048898689093132","date":"2026-02-04T16:58:37+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewersInvited","content":"","date":"2026-02-03T17:52:49+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvited","content":"","date":"2026-01-30T09:32:39+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorAssigned","content":"","date":"2026-01-29T08:34:49+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"checksComplete","content":"","date":"2026-01-29T08:31:04+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"submitted","content":"BMC Public Health","date":"2026-01-20T23:57:52+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"bmc-public-health","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":false,"externalIdentity":"pubh","sideBox":"Learn more about [BMC Public Health](http://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/)","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"https://www.editorialmanager.com/pubh/default.aspx","title":"BMC Public Health","twitterHandle":"@BMC_series","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":false,"editorialSystem":"em","reportingPortfolio":"BMC Series","inReviewEnabled":true,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"337825a4-0563-4f64-b95e-255af44d1862","owner":[],"postedDate":"February 9th, 2026","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"under-review","subjectAreas":[],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2026-05-04T02:08:41+00:00","versionOfRecord":[],"versionCreatedAt":"2026-02-09 07:28:39","video":"","vorDoi":"","vorDoiUrl":"","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-8653667","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-8653667","identity":"rs-8653667","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"XKTyCvWXoU3ODBz1xrDgd","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
