What is the connection between attention span, #socialmedia & mental #wellbeing?

Tune into our latest episode of #TheFutureOf podcast with Curtin's @DrPatClarke & @TMahalingham to learn how our cognitive processes are changing in response to technology: https://t.co/XJjHQSzTrR

How good are you at estimating your social media use?
Our recent paper (@TMahalingham @PeterMcEvoy13) suggests probably pretty bad, and this carries some serious implications for social media research that has relied heavily on self-report use in the past 🧵👇

[Tamsin Mahalingham 🏳️‍🌈 @TMahalingham]

I'm on a roll: New article with @DrPatClarke and @PeterMcEvoy13 is open access til Jan 10.

Can you guess how much #socialmedia you use? most people can't! Our findings suggest frequently used self-report social media use measures don't reflect actual use.

My new article with @DrPatClarke @joel_howl
"Assessing the Effects of Acute Reductions in Mobile Device Social Media Use on Anxiety and Sleep" is open access until November 20 https://t.co/wFEXMWA8px

Congratulations to the very first of our Masters of Research graduates Amy Black, on the acceptance of her MRes dissertation:
The Effect of the Fears of Positive and Negative Evaluation on Emotional and Cognitive Outcomes in Imagined and In Vivo Social-Evaluative Situations

@KaiSchweizer @eatmeetswest Particularly at the time when most of our cis-het peers are pursuing and obtaining their licences. For a number of queer people these supports are unavailable for various reasons

[Tamsin Mahalingham 🏳️‍🌈 @TMahalingham]

@KaiSchweizer @eatmeetswest I wonder if there are other unique barriers, (possibly related to unsafe/unsupportive home environments for adolescents/ young adults) things like fees associated, access to a car (and appropriately experienced supervisor) for getting hours etc.

Excellent PhD proposal presentation from @TMahalingham, well received and lots of interest. Important and interesting space combining social media, emotion, cognition and minority stress

@DrPatClarke Just got to move the budget around a bit and we'll be good to go! 🚀

Do you have a short attention span?
New @CurtinUni research finds it could be strongly linked to #socialmedia distress. Find out more here: https://t.co/5H89LsnxwG

Thrilled to share the very first paper from my incredibly talented Masters (soon PhD) student @TMahalingham (also feat @joel_howl).
