Excellent - Great that it's encouraged some reflection already!

Massive thank you to my supervisors @dawnwatling.bsky.social and Prof. Helen Pote for all of their support and guidance with this project

Findings reflect that:

📱 Social media reactions are used for more than showing they ‘like’ a social media post.
📱 Reactions are used determine popularity and to give, receive, and withhold social support.
📱 Adolescents with mental health concerns may worry more about using or receiving reactions.
