The study examines how children and adolescents assess the impact of the coronavirus measures on various areas of life. Methods: Overall, N = 6,475 students (11 –15 years) in Germany took part in the representative ‘Health Behavior in School-aged Children (HBSC)’ study in 2022. Logistic regressions were performed to investigate the relationships between the perceived impact of the coronavirus measures on various areas of their lives by age, gender and family wealth. Results: Two years after the onset of the pandemic, children and adolescents reported both, positive and negative effects of the coronavirus measures. About a half of those surveyed perceived positive effects regarding social relationships. In contrast, approximately one in three respondents reported a deterioration in mental health and school performance. In particular, 11-year-olds, boys and wealthy students reported more often positive effects. Conclusions: The positive effects of the pandemic on the lives of children and adolescents in individual areas and the resilience (resistance) that is emerging here, as well as the results on more negative assessments of adolescents, girls and respondents with lower family wealth, can be used as a starting point for a needs-oriented and target group-specific health promotion in times of crisis. Future research should focus on the pandemic’s long-term effects on young people’s development.

Untersucht wird, wie Kinder und Jugendliche die Auswirkungen der Corona-Maßnahmen auf verschiedene Lebensbereiche einschätzen. Methode: An der repräsentativen „Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC)“-Studie haben 2022 bundesweit N = 6.475 Schülerinnen und Schüler (11 –15 Jahre) teilgenommen. Mittels logistischer Regressionen wurden Zusammenhänge zwischen den wahrgenommenen Auswirkungen der Corona-Maßnahmen auf verschiedene Bereiche ihres Lebens und den Faktoren Alter, Geschlecht und familiärer Wohlstand untersucht. Ergebnisse: Zwei Jahre nach Pandemiebeginn berichteten Kinder und Jugendliche sowohl positive als auch negative Auswirkungen der Corona-Maßnahmen. Bei den sozialen Beziehungen nahm etwa die Hälfte der Befragten positive Auswirkungen wahr. Dagegen gab etwa jede bzw. jeder dritte Befragte Verschlechterungen bei der seelischen Gesundheit und den schulischen Leistungen an. Vor allem 11-Jährige, Jungen und Befragte mit hohem familiären Wohlstand berichteten von positiven Auswirkungen. Schlussfolgerungen: Die in Einzelbereichen positiven Auswirkungen der Pandemie auf das Leben von Kindern und Jugendlichen und die sich hier abzeichnende Resilienz (Widerstandskraft) sowie die Ergebnisse zu negativeren Einschätzungen von Jugendlichen, Mädchen und Befragten mit niedrigerem familiären Wohlstand können als Ausgangspunkt für eine bedarfsorientierte und zielgruppenspezifische Gesundheitsförderung in Krisenzeiten genutzt werden. Gegenstand zukünftiger Forschung sollten die Langzeitfolgen der Pandemie auf die Entwicklung junger Menschen sein.

So far, the relationship between social media use and loneliness by online interaction partner or age has hardly been investigated. Therefore, this study explores the associations between social media communication with different persons and loneliness. Furthermore, the link between problematic social media use and loneliness, as well as age differences, were analyzed. Data from the representative 2022 German Health Behavior in School-aged Children (HBSC) survey, including 6,475 students aged 11, 13, and 15 years (girls: 50,6%, Mage = 13,4, SD = 1,7), were used. Loneliness was measured via the University of California–Los Angeles Scale (UCLA). Chi-square tests and regression analyses were conducted. In total, 11.8% of the children were classified as lonely, with girls and gender-diverse individuals showing higher levels of loneliness than boys. High levels of contact with close friends via social media were linked to lower levels of loneliness, whereas interaction with internet friends was associated with greater levels of loneliness. A total of 11.1% of students reported problematic social media use, which was associated with a higher likelihood of feeling lonely. The relationship was not moderated by age. These findings support both the displacement and stimulation hypotheses, suggesting that the role of social media depends on how and with whom it is used. Interacting with close friends on social media is linked with lower levels of loneliness, whereas problematic use and online-only interactions are associated with higher levels of loneliness, regardless of age. Thus, interventions should focus on promoting healthy social media habits and encouraging meaningful connections with close friends.
