Given that sex variations have been observed in the ways that boys and girls utilize social media, more research is necessary. Teenage guys are more likely to play video games, while girls are more likely to text and use social media. Therefore, psychologists who wish to assist teenagers in overcoming obstacles in their social interactions must create distinct strategies for boys and girls as they enter adolescence.

Perhaps a social modelling approach can be employed to have the same effectiveness as real-life involvement in a program.
