Couldn't have done it without my generous & exceptional co-authors Keri Stephens & @larawolfers.bsky.social We're in fabulous company: www.taylorfrancis.com/books/edit/1... Grateful to all involved #CityStGSCC
- Reposted by Lara WolfersEver found yourself scrolling on your phone in the middle of a conversation?📱👥Curious about why this happens, @annastockmann.bsky.social and I explored the situational drivers of co-present phone use in our new🔓#OpenAccess paper, just published in @mobilemediacomm.bsky.social🎉 (1/6)
- Reposted by Lara WolfersLongitudinal evidence on media entertainment effects, anyone? New paper out w/ @leonardreinecke.bsky.social looking at links between entertainment use and meaning making daily, weekly, & over 6 months. Two studies, 1,872 participants, 15,290 observations. Summary 👇 doi.org/10.1177/0093...
- Reposted by Lara WolfersThere are a BUNCH of awesome candidates up for election in @icamobile.bsky.social this year. Cast your vote before October 21st! www.icahdq.org/page/Electio...
- Reposted by Lara WolfersTo investigate media effects, do we have to think more clearly about time ⌚? Our new publication in the 🎉*Journal of Communication*🎉 investigates how our conceptualizations of time can affect our conclusions: doi.org/10.1093/joc/... (1/6)
- Reposted by Lara Wolfers📱✨ Theorizing Dis/Connection by Mariek Vanden Abeele & @trinesy.bsky.social bridges mobile media studies & digital disconnection. They propose 5 axioms linking media affordances with moral values—paving the way for mobile media studies beyond mobile media. 🔗 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
- Super happy that this is finally out. It started with lunch discussions & difficulties in the @sonja-utz.de (then) social media group finding 1 social media definition we agreed on. Our main point: we need to be TRANSPARENT how we understand social media in a specific project/paper.
- What are social media? Seems obvious, right? #TikTok? Definitely. #LinkedIn? Sure. #Facebook? Yes. #YouTube? Well… maybe less clear? In our @everydaymedialab.bsky.social project(lead @larawolfers.bsky.social) we suggest a framework for researchers #transparency academic.oup.com/anncom/advan...
- We provide a framework aimed at helping with reporting one's understanding of social media in a research paper/project and links the understanding to measuring "social media use" and to the generalizability of one's work.

- Reposted by Lara WolfersAnd then days later, this article on comfort media by Sarah M. Grady, @aeden.bsky.social & @larawolfers.bsky.social shows up www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
- Finally :) Preprint of Susanne Baumgartner and my paper Short but still valid: Validating Single-Item Measures for Key Communication Science Constructs for Experience Sampling Research. In a 5-Study procedure, we assess the validity of in total 21 constructs osf.io/preprints/ps...
- We argue that we need specific validation steps tailored to the context of experience sampling studies: If we want to test within-person processes, we need to test whether measures are able to capture meaningful within-person changes
- We got funding for this project in 2022 (Thanks to @ascor.bsky.social's digicomlab) so it took quite some time to finally get the preprint ready. Hope this is a step towards better measurement in Experience Sampling Methods. Looking forward to thoughts & suggestions!
- If you have questions about any of these positions let me know :)
