Co‐rumination via cellphone moderates the association of perceived interpersonal stress and psychosocial well‐being in emerging adults

Murdock, Karla Klein, Gorman, Sarah, Robbins, Maia·2015·Journal of Adolescence

Abstract

Adolescents' and emerging adults' social interactions increasingly revolve around cellphone use, but little research has investigated the psychological properties of cellphone interactions. The current study explored co‐rumination via cellphone; that is, the use of cellphone functions to excessively communicate about problems or negative feelings. Face‐to‐face co‐rumination and co‐rumination via cellphone were examined as potential moderators of the association between perceived interpersonal stress and psychosocial well‐being (i.e., positive mental health and social burnout) in a sample of 142 college students. Face‐to‐face co‐rumination was not a moderator. However, co‐rumination via cellphone was a significant moderator such that higher levels of perceived interpersonal stress were associated with lower levels of well‐being only among college students who reported higher levels of co‐rumination via cellphone. Co‐rumination via cellphone should be further investigated to elucidate its developmental trajectory and mental health correlates.

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.
