We are looking at how parents and adolescents in 5th or 6th grade use social media and how this use relates to body image and mental health. We are interested in this because of the high rates of social media use among adolescents, and the concerns the general public has about how use relates to mental health.
At the visit, children in 5th or 6th grade and one parent/guardian will participate in several tasks. These include engaging in a Zoom call with a member of the UNC research community, wearing eye-tracking glasses, engaging in a structured conversation about social media, sharing some information about your smartphone and social media use, and completing a survey. This is a longitudinal study, meaning families will participate again in about a year. Families can earn up to $100 for participating plus transportation money.
Up to $100, Gas reimbursement
