A study of adolescent identity formation evaluated the impact of curated "study-tok" content that depicts high-achieving students using expensive productivity tools. Ninth graders from a high-SES and a low-SES school reported exposure and completed measures of academic self-concept and perceived normativity of purchasing productivity products. In both schools, higher exposure predicted higher perceived normativity of purchasing, but only in the low-SES school did higher exposure predict a decrease in academic self-concept among students who could not afford the products. Which effect is most consistent with the media portrayal described?
