Abstract

How is Twitter use related to changes in well-being, affective polarization, and sense of belonging? We ran an experience sampling study to address the question. Twitter use was related to decreases in well-being and increases in polarization, boredom, and moral outrage, and sense of belonging, with practical effect sizes.
