In this project, we’re studying whether—and how—social media use shapes the developing reward system. Analyzing longitudinal data from late childhood to mid-adolescence we study how self-reported social media engagement relates to changes in brain activity during reward processing over time. This work is currently submitted as a Stage 1 Registered Report. (https://www.cos.io/initiatives/registered-reports).
