The Role of Social Networking Sites in Early Adolescents’ Social Lives (2016, background): “…SNS use and bridging social capital has been empirically supported among older adolescents (Ahn, 2012), students (Ellison et al., 2007; Steinfield et al., 2008), and adults (Brandtzaeg, 2012; Ellison, Vitak, Gray, & Lampe, 2014), but so far there is no evidence for this among early adolescents.”
Passive and Active Facebook Use Measure (PAUM): Validation and relationship to the Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (2017, background): “This pattern of Facebook use, where users consume but do not create content, was later labeled “passive use” (Burke & Kraut, 2011) or “lurking” (Brandtzæg, 2012).”
Do online social media cut through the constraints that limit the size of offline social networks? (2016, background): “In addition, these studies have, with very few exceptions, sampled students (and, in many cases, teenagers), heavy SNS users or members of other specialized communities [2,51], and so cannot be considered representative of the wider population.”

Antecedents and effects of social network fatigue (2014, background): “The findings reveal that the factors that precede social network fatigue may be intrinsic or related to inherent traits and predispositions of the user or extrinsic or arising from external factors, as has been reported in available literature on social network use (Brandtzaeg, 2012; Moore & McElroy”
Instagram Use, Loneliness, and Social Comparison Orientation: Interact and Browse on Social Media, But Don't Compare (2016, unknown): “While some studies show that SNS use is related to lower loneliness(4) and more social capital,(5) others find that SNS users are more lonely than nonusers.(6) Still others suggest that social media use is irrelevant to users’ offline network size and does not make users feel emotionally closer to t”
