Study 1
The main goal of Study 1 is to examine the predictive validity of explicit references to personal distress in adolescents' Facebook postings. In order to increase the frequency of encountering self-reported, actual distress, we did not limit recruitment of participants from the general adolescent population only, but also specifically recruited participants from youth-at-risk associations. In this study, the occurrence of explicit references to personal distress on Facebook was compared with external, well-established, self-report measures of psychological distress (i.e., depression, social rejection, and victimization of bullying).
Study 2
The first goal of Study 2 is to replicate Study 1 findings in a new and larger sample of Israeli adolescents. The second goal is to broaden the scope of Facebook activity features that could potentially add to the prediction of psychological distress. As documented in recent research, both general measures of psychological well-being (Burke & Kraut, 2016) as well as specific ones, such as depression (De Choudhury et al., 2013) have been found to leave digital footprints on a person’s social network activity. We therefore complement the top-down search for explicit distress references with a bottom-up search for Facebook activity features that are not rooted in traditional clinical assessment tools and definitions.
