Social media became the predominant medium for communicating, sharing updates, and monitoring other users. However, due to increasing use of social media, individuals might feel availability pressure to be online and production pressure to post content, which might result in negative consequences. The present study aims to disentangle the relationships between active social media use (private interactions), active public social media use (broadcasting), and passive social media use (monitoring) in relation to digital pressure and life satisfaction. The results of a two-wave panel survey with N = 415 late adolescents and young adults ( Mage = 19.08, SD = 1.57, 58.31% female) reveal a longitudinal reciprocal relationship between active public use and production pressure. However, availability pressure positively predicts active social media use over time, suggesting increase in private interactions due to perceived peer’s expectations to be reachable over social media. In contrast, production pressure is related to lower active social media use, thus placing focus on active public broadcasting instead. Notwithstanding the reciprocal interplay between social media use and digital pressure, the present study does not demonstrate harmful consequences of digital pressure on life satisfaction.

在压力之下？不同类型的社交媒体使用、数字压力和生活满意度之间的纵向关系

社交媒体成为沟通、分享更新和监控其他用户的主要媒介。然而，由于社交媒体的使用越来越多，个人可能会感到上网的可用性压力和发布内容的生产压力，这可能会导致负面后果。本研究旨在理清主动社交媒体使用（私人互动）、主动公共社交媒体使用（广播）和被动社交媒体使用（监控）与数字压力和生活满意度之间的关系。对 N = 415 名晚期青少年和年轻人进行的两波小组调查的结果 ( M年龄= 19.08，SD = 1.57，58.31% 女性）揭示了积极的公共使用和生产压力之间的纵向相互关系。然而，随着时间的推移，可用性压力积极预测社交媒体的活跃使用，这表明由于感知到同伴期望通过社交媒体进行联系，私人互动会增加。相比之下，制作压力与社交媒体使用率较低有关，因此将重点放在活跃的公共广播上。尽管社交媒体使用和数字压力之间存在相互作用，但本研究并未证明数字压力对生活满意度产生有害后果。
