This study examined differential patterns of time spent using social media in a sample of 457 adolescents over a 6-year period. The majority of adolescents (83%), termed moderate users, reported steady social media use over time. A second group (increasers: 12%) reported low social media use that increased gradually and ended high at the end of the study. A third group, called peak users (6%), reported low social media that increased quickly after a few years and then returned to baseline levels. Low self-regulation predicted being an increaser or peak user. Being a moderate user tended to be related to lower levels of depression, aggression, delinquency, social media problems, and cyberbullying across time, as compared with the other groups.
本研究调查了 457 名青少年在 6 年期间使用社交媒体时间的差异模式。大多数青少年（83%），称为中度使用者，报告说随着时间的推移社交媒体使用稳定。第二组（增加者：12%）报告说社交媒体使用量低，但逐渐增加，研究结束时达到高水平。第三组，称为高峰使用者（6%），报告说社交媒体使用量低，但在几年后迅速增加，然后回到基线水平。低自我调节能力预示着成为增加者或高峰使用者。与其他组相比，作为中度使用者往往与较低水平的抑郁、攻击性、犯罪行为、社交媒体问题和网络欺凌有关。
