Applying an affordances framework to social media intervention approaches
ABSTRACT
Social media interventions are a growing area of internet research, particularly for adolescent health. Researchers developing social media intervention approaches face the task of selecting a social media platform for their intervention. In this paper, we present the theoretical framework of affordances to help guide social media platform selection for intervention research. We first describe methodological approaches to incorporating common affordances into intervention design, followed by four examples of intervention design applying the affordance framework. A scientific approach for the selection of the appropriate social media platform for a given intervention is an important research priority to advance the field of internet research.
