thanks @dejonckheeregon.bsky.social ! 🙌

Yes, indeed! Our preprint is out! 🙌

We compared different #JITAI triggering strategies and found that those based on self-reported support need were rated better than those based on #emotion (dynamics)!

More on this and the feasibility of our social support JITAI 👇

➡️ Main Takeaway: Most people may not experience negative effects from smartphone or social media use, but those already vulnerable to loneliness are at greater risk ❗

📱 Individuals who generally experience higher loneliness are more negatively affected by their smartphone use—specifically, social media engagement.

#Loneliness #WellBeing #SocialMedia #SmartphoneUse #MentalHealth

🔍 Key Finding: While smartphone use showed no significant association with affect indicators and only a weak bidirectional link with loneliness, the effect varied based on individual loneliness levels.

Does smartphone use make people feel lonelier? Or does loneliness predict smartphone use?

We combined experience sampling data with smartphone usage data to examine the bidirectional association between well-being and smartphone use over time.

nice study 🙌! we also did a similar experiment a while ago too -- but not looking at personality change, but rather differences in friendship network evolution:
