Social networking site use: Linked to adolescents' social self‐concept, self‐esteem, and depressed mood (2014, result): “Previous studies have also shown that those youth who find face-to-face communication difficult are more likely to develop online relationships (Ward & Tracey, 2004; Wolak, Mitchell, & Finkelhor, 2003).”
