Association of Screen Time and Depression in Adolescence
Open accessAbstract
IMPORTANCE: Increases in screen time have been found to be associated with increases in depressive symptoms. However, longitudinal studies are lacking. OBJECTIVE: To repeatedly measure the association between screen time and depression to test 3 explanatory hypotheses: displacement, upward social comparison, and reinforcing spirals. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This secondary analysis used data from a randomized clinical trial assessing the 4-year efficacy of a personality-targeted drug and alcohol prevention intervention. This study assessed screen time and depression throughout 4 years, using an annual survey in a sample of adolescents who entered the seventh grade in 31 schools in the Greater Montreal area. Data were collected from September 2012 to September 2018. Analysis began and ended in December 2018. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: Independent variables were social media, television, video gaming, and computer use. Symptoms of depression was the outcome, measured using the Brief Symptoms Inventory. Exercise and self-esteem were assessed to test displacement and upward social comparison hypothesis. RESULTS: A total of 3826 adolescents (1798 girls [47%]; mean [SD] age, 12.7 [0.5] years) were included. In general, depression symptoms increased yearly (year 1 mean [SD], 4.29 [5.10] points; year 4 mean [SD], 5.45 [5.93] points). Multilevel models, which included random intercepts at the school and individual level estimated between-person and within-person associations between screen time and depression. Significant between-person associations showed that for every increased hour spent using social media, adolescents showed a 0.64-unit increase in depressive symptoms (95% CI, 0.32-0.51). Similar between-level associations were reported for computer use (0.69; 95% CI, 0.47-0.91). Significant within-person associations revealed that a further 1-hour increase in social media use in a given year was associated with a further 0.41-unit increase in depressive symptoms in that same year. A similar within-person association was found for television (0.18; 95% CI, 0.09-0.27). Significant between-person and within-person associations between screen time and exercise and self-esteem supported upward social comparison and not displacement hypothesis. Furthermore, a significant interaction between the between-person and within-person associations concerning social media and self-esteem supported reinforcing spirals hypothesis. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Time-varying associations between social media, television, and depression were found, which appeared to be more explained by upward social comparison and reinforcing spirals hypotheses than by the displacement hypothesis. Both screen time modes should be taken into account when developing preventive measures and when advising parents.

In the citing paper
“Upward social comparison suggests that the impact of screen time on mental health depends on the kind of content being viewed; for example, when individuals compare themselves with others who they consider are in more favorable positions (e.g., those with perfect bodies and lives) [17].”
In the citing paper
“Reinforcing spirals also posits that screen time effects are mediated through content; however, reinforcing spirals adds that individuals try to obtain and choose information consistent with their thoughts which may then become increasingly negative in nature [17].”
In the citing paper
“Specifically, the association between screen time and depression was proposed and tested with three explanatory hypotheses: displacement, upward social comparison, and reinforcing spirals [17].”
In the citing paper
“It was found that the upward social comparison and reinforcing spirals hypotheses explained associations between social media, television, and depression more than the displacement hypothesis [17].”
In the citing paper
“Of the four types of screen use assessed (i.e., social media, TV viewing, video gaming, and computer use), only greater levels of social media and computer use were associated with depression, but not TV viewing or video gaming [17].”
In the citing paper
“The displacement hypothesis suggests that all screen time adversely affects mental health because it displaces time one could be engaging in physical exercise and other healthy behaviours [17].”
In the citing paper
“Since those on social media platforms share the most idealized versions of themselves, it becomes commonplace for individuals to compare their real-life experiences with those of others who highlight positive moments, causing deleterious effects on self-esteem and life satisfaction [17].”
In the citing paper
“These findings may be explained, in part, by some combination of various media effects theories that have been proposed [115], including the displacement hypothesis [116, 117].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
