The lesson here is we can lock up the internet behind all the parental controls, face-scanning age assurance, and AI training sandboxes we want But chat will find a way. 9/9

This anecdote--not the episode, which goes in a totally different direction--is hilarious& cute. But more importantly, it poignantly illustrates SO many things that I work on. 1) How endlessly creative kids will be in route around child restrictions, and how ineffective parental controls are. 1/

Ron's work has been foundational for our field in establishing adolescence as a key developmental window not only of risk but of opportunity. I’m incredibly proud to have been his postdoc mentee, and to be able to carry forward the lens and deep commitment to this work that he instilled in me.

1/43 Ok folks, after much teasing and anticipation, I'm THRILLED to share our new paper in Annual Review of Clinical Psychology. Not gonna lie: I'm proud of this one, and I hope it makes an impact on the field (so please share!). A thread 🧵👇

To Be a Mental Disorder: Revisiting Behavioral Addictions
Joshua B. Grubbs, * Nicholas C. Borgogna, Beáta Bőthe, Hyoun S. Kim, Rory A. Pfund, Shane W. Kraus

Manuscript to appear in the 2027 edition of Annual Review of Clinical Psychology, this preprint may not
exactly represent the final printed copy.

Grubbs, J.B., Borgogna, N.C., Bőthe, Beáta, Kim, H.S., Pfund, R.A., & Kraus, S.W. (2027) To Be a Mental Disorder: Revisiting Behavioral Addictions. Annual Review of Clinical Psychology. 10.1146/annurev-clinpsy-061225-045608

Behavioral addictions have been recognized in various forms for centuries, yet only three—Gambling Disorder, Gaming Disorder, and Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder—are currently included in formal diagnostic systems. In the past decade, research on these conditions has expanded dramatically in both volume and methodological rigor, drawing on longitudinal, neurobiological, and cross-cultural designs and evolving into a truly global science. Even so, the field remains beset by unresolved controversies. Chief among these is a persistent tendency to import substance use disorder concepts—tolerance, withdrawal, and dependence—that lack conceptual and empirical support when applied to behavior. Related challenges concern the over-pathologizing of normal engagement and a reliance on confirmatory, self-report measurement of uncertain validity. We argue that advancing the field requires sustained funding, theory grounded in the disorders themselves, objective and intensive-longitudinal methods, greater diversity, and public health and regulatory attention to increasingly technological environments.

Excited to see these studies (finally) published in Scientific Reports! 🚨 S1: More social media users perceived themselves as addicted than met clinical addiction criteria. S2: Increasing perceived addiction hurt perceived control over use and increased self-blame for overuse. Thread below... 🧵

This plot shows the number of users in the Study 1 sample that self-described as 'addicted' to Instagram versus those who were 'at risk' of clinical addiction. The ratios for the addiction symptom scale are 9:371 and for the perceived addiction 69: 311, suggesting a much greater proportion of users self-perceive as addicted than are actually addicted to Instagram

Despite concerns that online friendships might undermine offline relationships, our findings suggest otherwise. Not only were best online-only friendships associated with fewer negative qualities, they did not appear to discourage in-person friendships. (5/5)

Boys reported more conflict in both in-person and online friendships, while girls reported stronger closeness with in-person friends. Older adolescents reported greater closeness with their online-only friends than younger adolescents. (4/5)

Lucía Magis-Weinberg @luciamawe.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

Best in-person friendships involved both greater closeness and greater discord compared to best online-only friendships. Online friendships were not necessarily lower quality—they involved unique patterns of closeness and conflict. (3/5)

Lucía Magis-Weinberg @luciamawe.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

More than 1/3 of Latin American youth in our study reported having at least one online-only friend. Yet youth still reported 2x as many in-person friends on average. These results suggest online friendships complement, rather than replace, in-person connections. (2/5)
