Archer, J., & Coyne, S. M. (n.d.). An integrated review of indirect, relational, and social aggression.  This article discussed indirect, relational, and social aggression’s definition, measurements, developments, and functions. This review demonstrated that, while the focus in the explanations of indirect, social, and relational aggression differs, they all assess equivalent alternatives to physical violence. This form of hostility is unique to humans instead of physical or verbal aggression. 

Coyne, S. M., Rogers, A. A., Zurcher, J. D., Stockdale, L., & Booth, M. C. (2020). Does time spent using social media impact mental health?: An eight year longitudinal study. Computers in Human Behavior, 104, 106160.  It is an eight-year-long research study on social media and mental health done by Coyne and her teammates. This study provides an idea of whether social media time could affect an individual’s well-being. Many have suggested that more time spent on social media could increase the chance of depression or anxiety. However, according to their findings, greater time spent on social media was not related to a rise in mental health concerns across development.
