Fear of missing out and self-esteem as mediators of the relationship between maximization and problematic smartphone use

“…The rapid diffusion and adoption of smartphones, tablets and smartwatches, have greatly facilitated people's access to goods and services found on the web. This ease of access, however, has translated into increased hours of connectivity such that the amount of time people spend on their smartphones has become a growing concern, prompting several scholars to explore whether their excessive use could lead to addictive behaviours (Duke & Montag, 2017;Kim et al, 2016;Lo Coco et al, 2020;Servidio, 2019).

“…The impact of a dynamic approach in psychotherapy is largely documented (Midgley et al, 2009;Perry and Bond, 2012;Hilsenroth and Pitman, 2019;Lo Coco et al, 2019a;Gelo et al, 2020;Gennaro et al, 2020). Process-outcome research has highlighted the effectiveness of dynamic psychotherapy in treating various mental disorder such as depression (Meystre et al, 2017;Starrs and Perry, 2018;Perry et al, 2020), anxiety (Maffei et al, 1995;Babl et al, 2019;Solomonov et al, 2019) eating disorders (Gelo et al, 2015;Lo Coco et al, 2021), pathologic addictions (Terrone et al, 2018;Frisone et al, 2020;Lo Coco et al, 2020;Giordano et al, 2021), psychotic traits (Boldrini et al, 2019(Boldrini et al, , 2020, externalizing problems (Prout et al, 2018a;Hoffman and Prout, 2020), and personality disfunction (Lingiardi and Giovanardi, 2017;Goldman et al, 2018;Aafjes-van Doorn et al, 2019;Kramer, 2019;Di Giuseppe et al, 2020b;Solomonov et al, 2020). The role of therapeutic alliance as mediator on outcomes in psychotherapy has been demonstrated in several studies highlighting the need for an in-depth investigation of patient-therapist communicative exchange (Lingiardi et al, 2010;Perry, 2014;Bhatia et al, 2017;Salvatore et al, 2017;Rocco et al, 2018;Tanzilli et al, 2018;Lo Coco et al, 2019b;Leibovich et al, 2020;.…”
