Adolescents’ feelings of rejection after insufficient social validation on a social media task predicted daily negative affective and cognitive reactivity, in Study 2.

Note: Level 1 (day level) N= 1,266, Level 2 (person level) N= 145, Gray lines represent person-specific fitted random slopes from multilevel models in which daily negative affect (top row) and daily negative cognitions (bottom row) are predicted by the intensity of daily social stressors (person-mean centered). Red lines indicate the group average fixed-effect slopes, estimated at low (−1SD, left panel) vs. high (+1SD, right panel) feelings of rejection after insufficient social validation (few likes) on the social media task. b= unstandardized betas.
