Abstract
The following research questions were addressed:
1. What are the psychometric properties of the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF) in the measurement of multidimensional well-being among Dutch adolescents?
2. How are internalizing problems related concurrently to adolescent boys’ and girls’ well-being, and to what extent does the quality of adolescents’ unique relationships with their mothers and fathers buffer this association?
3. How are internalizing problems related prospectively to adolescent boys’ and girls’ well-being, and to what extent are these internalizing problems indirectly related to well-being over-time via the quality of adolescents’ unique relationships with their mothers, fathers, and close friends?
4. What are the direct and interacting effects of friendship quality and social media use in relation to adolescent boys’ and girls’ well-being and internalizing problems? To what extent do these effects apply to cross-sectional and longitudinal results?
5. How is friendship quality related to adolescent boys’ and girls’ well-being over time, and to what extent does global self-esteem explain this longitudinal link?
