Subclaims¶

q2 i3 Intervention participants' social media use increased significantly by workshop end (d = .954), decreased significantly by the 4-month follow-up (d = .553), and remained marginally above baseline overall (d = .485, p = .064). → Kelly Quinn 2018

q2 · i3 · causal · r1

Self-reported social media use among the 17 intervention participants across baseline, 4-week, and 4-month assessments. The article also reports the workshop-period increase, "(t = 3.933, p = .001, d = .954)," and an overall increase over the full period (t = 2.00, p = .064, d = .485).

"between the end of the intervention and the 4-month follow-up visit, a significant decrease in social media use was evidenced by participants in the intervention group (t = 2.28, p = .038, d = .553)"

• A 4-week social media training workshop improved inhibitory control within the intervention group of older adults, with a large effect over the full study period — related
• Between groups, the intervention showed a moderate inhibitory-control advantage at 4 weeks (p = .052) and a large advantage at 4 months (η2 = .135), with a significant main effect of time for both groups — related
• Intervention participants' overall cognitive status (MMSE) increased over the study period, with the effect appearing after the workshop ended — related
