Using #qualitative methods, we found key barriers to intervention engagement: time constraints ⏳ and unavailable support providers 🤷—important challenges for future #digitalhealth interventions, #JITAIs, and #EMIs.

We also showed that our just-in-time adaptive intervention #JITAI, designed to help people with depressive symptoms activate their social support networks, was feasible and moderately acceptable in daily life.

➡️ 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.

🔍 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.

we also collected data in a second (larger) experiment that we never analyzed. For details, hit me up (yes, I'm only sitting two floors down) and/or see point 3.6.2 here:

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:
