Abstract
We examined whether social media use was associated with risky/antisocial behavior and/or mental health or sleep problems among justice-system-involved young men. Findings suggest that frequent social media usage was associated with greater sensation seeking, offending, depressive symptoms, and sleep problems (even after controlling for prior levels of these variables).
