Note: N = 2,953 surveys nested within 138 participants. We reverted to a fixed slope for social media use. Interaction terms were tested in separate models to avoid overcontrolling. Sex and depressive disorder were retained as covariates when testing interaction terms. Biological sex was coded as 1 = male, 2 = female. Degrees of freedom are 2158 for social media use at Step 1 and 135 for between-person variables.
