The Effect of Social Media Use on the Socio-affective Development of Adolescents

June 15, 2021

10am -11am PT

Live attendance is required.

This program offers 1.0 CEs for psychologists or 1.0 BBS California CEUs for LMFTs, Social workers, or counselors

Social media use, especially amongst adolescents, has become rampant in the past decade. The majority of teenagers report that they have at least one social media account and actively engage in social media platforms. Although social media use has increased, understanding the psychological and social effects of technology on adolescent development is still unclear. This presentation will examine the relationship between social media use and psychiatric symptoms in teenagers. As adolescence is a key developmental phase, a discussion of how brain functioning can be affected by social media use will also be presented. Moreover, the presentation will examine the role of social media in adolescent social connections and navigating peer relationships.
A secondary aspect of the presentation will center on problematic social media use or addictive social media use in adolescence. Specifically, the discussion will highlight the lack of definitional clarity surrounding problematic social media use in adolescence. Additionally, social media addiction research will be presented to underscore the differential developmental effects between frequency of social media use and concerning content. Finally, the presentation will examine ways to assess and therapeutically manage the negative effects of social media use in adolescence.
