For Gen Y, ACEs predict doom scrolling directly, without mediation of loneliness. In contrast, Gen Z shows a distinct mediating role of loneliness in the ACE-doomscrolling link, reflecting compensatory digital coping.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study reveals generational distinctions in both the emotional mechanisms underlying doomscrolling and the broader role of digital media in the lives of men. Interpreted through the lens of generationally molded masculinities, these distinctions help contextualize differences in digital media use across cohorts, with doomscrolling representing one domain in which early adversity may be reflected later in life.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fsoc.2026.1700210","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,27]],"date-time":"2026-02-27T05:24:52Z","timestamp":1772169892000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Adverse childhood experiences, loneliness, and doomscrolling on social media newsfeeds among adult men across Generations X, Y, Z"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Sabina","family":"Lissitsa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Communication, Ariel University","place":["Ariel, Israel"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maya","family":"Kagan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Social Work, Ariel University","place":["Ariel, Israel"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.17645\/mac.9374","article-title":"Gen Z sexual and gender fluidity in US scripted television","volume":"13","author":"Abbott","year":"2025","journal-title":"Media Commun."},{"key":"ref2","first-page":"A1","article-title":"Ready, set, strive--gen Z is coming---battle-scarred, they are sober, driven by money and socially awkward; a 1930s throwback","volume":"7","author":"Adamy","year":"2018","journal-title":"Wall Street J."},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"81","DOI":"10.1037\/14594-004","volume-title":"APA handbook of men and masculinities","author":"Addis","year":"2016"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"57","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chb.2017.02.037","article-title":"Psychological maltreatment, forgiveness, mindfulness, and internet addiction among young adults: a study of mediation effect","volume":"72","author":"Arslan","year":"2017","journal-title":"Comput.
