Just received the most unhelpful comments from peer-review; Reviewer 1 requested no amendments; then we go to Reviewer 2 who can’t make their mind, due to a “lack of clarity & analytical focal point”; but they do not make any specific recommendations on how/where to improve

Very interesting paper by Wouter van den Bos and colleagues on hypersensitivity to social media likes (and lack of likes) in adolescence

Adolescents feel more negative after a reduction in likes than adults
