“…26 The researchers found that perceived stress was positively correlated with online social support. 27,28 However, relying heavily on online social support may increase the risk of dependence on the Internet and problematic phone use, leading to Internet addiction 29 and problematic phone use. 30,31 According to the compensation model of Internet use, perceived stress and difficulties can motivate people to overindulge in the online world and rely on apps to meet their needs or relieve their irritability.…”

Purpose Recent research has identified a relationship between perceived stress and problematic smartphone usage. However, little is known about the underlying mediating and moderating mechanisms. The present study aimed to test the relationship between perceived stress and problematic smartphone usage as well as the mediating role of online social support and the moderating role of perceived social support among Chinese undergraduates. Patients and Methods A sample of 1123 college students participated in the study. The Perceived Stress Scale, Mobile Phone Addiction Index Scale, Online Social Support Questionnaire, and Perceived Social Support Scale were used. Results Perceived stress was significantly and positively associated with problematic smartphone usage, and online social support partially mediated the relationship between perceived stress and problematic smartphone usage. Moderated mediation analysis suggested that perceived social support moderated the association between perceived stress and online social support. This relationship became stronger for college students with lower levels of perceived social support. Conclusion The results of this study can contribute to a better understanding of how perceived stress increases the risk of problematic smartphone usage. The importance of reducing online social support and enhancing perceived social support in preventing undergraduates’ problematic smartphone usage is highlighted. The findings should be taken with caution given the convenience sampling and cross-sectional study design.

“…Individuals with depressive symptoms may use social media to relieve stress and seek social support, thereby developing problematic social media use patterns [11]. Third, young adults who frequently experience fear of missing out (FOMO) are more likely to exhibit problematic social media use [8,[12][13][14]. FOMO refers to an uncomfortable feeling that others are having positive experiences in one's absence and is associated with higher engagement in social media use [15].…”

Background Sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals experience minority stress, especially when they lack social support. SGM young adults may turn to social media in search of a supportive community; however, social media use can become problematic when it interferes with functioning. Problematic social media use may be associated with experiences of minority stress among SGM young adults. Objective The objective of this study is to examine the associations among social media use, SGM-related internalized stigma, emotional social support, and depressive symptoms in SGM young adults. Methods Participants were SGM young adults who were regular (≥4 days per week) social media users (N=302) and had enrolled in Facebook smoking cessation interventions. As part of a baseline assessment, participants self-reported problematic social media use (characterized by salience, tolerance, and withdrawal-like experiences; adapted from the Facebook Addiction Scale), hours of social media use per week, internalized SGM stigma, perceived emotional social support, and depressive symptoms. Pearson correlations tested bivariate associations among problematic social media use, hours of social media use, internalized SGM stigma, perceived emotional social support, and depressive symptoms. Multiple linear regression examined the associations between the aforementioned variables and problematic social media use and was adjusted for gender identity. Results A total of 302 SGM young adults were included in the analyses (assigned female at birth: 218/302, 72.2%; non-Hispanic White: 188/302, 62.3%; age: mean 21.9 years, SD 2.2 years). The sexual identity composition of the sample was 59.3% (179/302) bisexual and/or pansexual, 17.2% (52/302) gay, 16.9% (51/302) lesbian, and 6.6% (20/302) other. The gender identity composition of the sample was 61.3% (185/302) cisgender; 24.2% (73/302) genderqueer, fluid, nonbinary, or other; and 14.6% (44/302) transgender. Problematic social media use averaged 2.53 (SD 0.94) on a 5-point scale, with a median of 17 hours of social media use per week (approximately 2.5 h per day). Participants with greater problematic social media use had greater internalized SGM stigma (r=0.22; P<.001) and depressive symptoms (r=0.22; P<.001) and lower perceived emotional social support (r=−0.15; P=.007). Greater internalized SGM stigma remained was significantly associated with greater problematic social media use after accounting for the time spent on social media and other correlates (P<.001). In addition, participants with greater depressive symptoms had marginally greater problematic social media use (P=.05). In sum, signs of problematic social media use were more likely to occur among SGM young adults who had internalized SGM stigma and depressive symptoms. Conclusions Taken together, problematic social media use among SGM young adults was associated with negative psychological experiences, including internalized stigma, low social support, and depressive symptoms. SGM young adults experiencing minority stress may be at risk for problematic social media use.

Sosyal medya sitelerinin kullanımında görülen hızlı artış, revaçta olan bu sitelerin bazı bireyler için bir bağımlılık haline gelebileceğini göstermektedir. Sosyal medya bağımlılığının performans problemlerinin yanı sıra bir dizi duygusal ve ilişkisel sorunla ilişkili olduğu düşünüldüğünde bu bağımlılığın nedenlerini, sonuçlarını ve çarelerini anlamak oldukça önemlidir. Kişilik özelliklerinin yanı sıra bağlanma tarzlarının sosyal medya bağımlılığını açıklamada önemli bir unsur olabileceği düşünülmektedir. Bu nedenle geniş bir araştırma grubu bağlanma tarzlarının internet bağımlılığı ve sosyal medya bağımlılığı üzerindeki etkisini incelemeye devam etmektedirler. Yapılan araştırmaların sonuçları, sosyal medyanın daha yoğun ve işlevsiz kullanımı ile güvensiz bağlanma tarzları arasında olumlu bir ilişki olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu çalışma, çeşitli bağlanma tarzlarına sahip olan bireylerin sosyal medyayı yoğun biçimde kullanma nedenlerini açıklayan araştırmalara ait bulguları bir araya getirerek değerlendirmeye çalışmıştır.
