The editors of the Journal of Youth and Adolescence are very pleased to announce the 2020 recipient of its Emerging Scholar Best Article Award. This award goes to the article’s lead author, who must be an “emerging scholar” (i.e., an untenured researcher, such as a graduate student, postdoctoral scholar, research scientist, or assistant professor) at the time their manuscript was accepted. The recipient of the award is selected by editorial board members who evaluate a volume’s manuscripts on the basis of their innovative and substantive contributions to the empirical understanding of adolescence. In addition to receiving the recognition from colleagues, the winner receives a financial award generously provided by Springer, the journal’s publisher. The 2020 winner is Anna Vannucci, for her article entitled “Social Media Use Subgroups Differentially Predict Psychosocial Well-Being During Early Adolescence”. Anna Vannucci is a doctoral student in the Department of Psychology as Columbia University. At Columbia, she is a member of the Developmental Affective Neuroscience Lab, directed by Professor Nim Tottenham. She is interested in understanding how neural and emotional development processes link early life experiences to risk and resilience for psychopathology across childhood and adolescence. She also seeks to examine how the interplay between early life experiences and neural development influences daily emotional processes in the natural environment. Her co-author was Christine McCauley Ohannessian who, as of the writing of this editorial announcement, is the incoming Department Chair/Professor in the Department of Family and Child Sciences at Florida State University.

examined whether these subgroups predicted psychosocial functioning. Adolescents (N = 1205; 11–14 years; 51% female; 51% white) completed surveys at baseline and a sixmonth follow-up. Three social media use subgroups emerged at baseline: high overall social media use (8%); high Instagram/Snapchat use (53%); and low overall social media use (39%). The high social media use subgroup predicted higher depressive symptoms, panic disorder symptoms, delinquent behaviors, family conflict, as well as lower family and friend support, than the High-Instagram/ Snapchat and low social media use subgroups. The high Instagram/Snapchat use subgroup predicted higher delinquent behaviors and school avoidance than the low social media use subgroup, but also higher clo
