Hello,
For a project which studies how teens deal with social media and their interfaces,
I'm interested in so-called "activity theory" (also know as cultural-historical activity theory). I know it's been mostly used in psychology and studies focused on human-machine interactions but I think it could be an interesting tool for my research focused how teens use social media platforms.
I'm therefore looking for sources having a sociological approach, linking activity theory and :
-Media studies
-Reception/use studies
-social media studies
-Teens
-Sociology in general
-....
I'm also interested in discussing activity theory, its advantages and issues.
Thanks in advance !

Thanks Isyaku !!! I managed to find the pdf online : https://yardi.people.si.umich.edu/pubs/Yardi_ParentsTechnology11.pdf.
It is a very interesting piece of research and I like the approach. However, it does focus on the parents, does anybody know of the same kind of research focused on the teens' perspectives ?
