“This limits the current analyses to a single measure of social media use—defined as the amount of time spent using social media on a typical day—which does not capture the different experiences of individual users,51 for example, in terms of content, context, timing and emotional engagement.”
From Social media use and adolescent sleep patterns: cross-sectional findings from the UK millennium cohort study (2019) · cites this paper as [51]
In the citing paper
“Given that SNSs, such as Facebook, provide adolescent users an ideal media platform for social comparisons with peers (e.g., Fox & Moreland, 2015; Haferkamp & Krämer, 2011), it is likely to expect that adolescents with higher levels of body dissatisfaction will be especially inclined to engage in comparison on Facebook.”

In the citing paper
“Together, these features and user experiences contribute not only to increased time devoted to social media use [18], but also importantly to evolving social norms around expected availability and the urgency of online interactions [7,8,19], presenting unique implications for mental health and sleep.”
From Understanding Links Between Social Media Use, Sleep and Mental Health: Recent Progress and Current Challenges (2019) · cites this paper as [7]
In the citing paper
“Importantly, platforms provide richly varied opportunities for social interactions, allowing individuals to curate a careful selfpresentation through public profiles, quantify peer approval through number of likes and retweets and extend daytime face-to-face peer interactions with 24/7 availability for individual and group messages [7,17].”

In the citing paper
“Currently, the increasing connectivity offered by devices and platforms has facilitated not only increased time devoted to these media activities, but also important shifts in social norms and expectations around availability and etiquette for online interactions [7][8][9].”

“Such an environment may be especially stressful for LSEs who tend to perceive others’ positive events as a threat to their belonging (Forest and Wood, 2012; see Fox and Moreland, 2015 for a discussion on Facebook stress; also see Lee et al., 2016).”

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.
