“…However, assessment of addiction to a specific SNS (e.g. Facebook) should be conducted when researchers are interested in unique aspects of functioning, which may differ between individuals addicted to specific SNSs Ryan et al 2014; see also Throuvala et al 2019). However, it must be kept in mind that the large majority of SNSs users are multisite-social networkers.…”

“…Therefore, differentiating by SNSs use might not be the most costeffective and informative strategy to collect data on addiction (Griffiths 2012;Kuss and Griffiths 2017). A more fruitful approach might be an investigation of SNS addiction along with individuals' motives to use SNSs and activities in which individuals engage in on the SNSs Griffiths et al 2014;Kuss and Griffiths 2017;Ryan et al 2014; see also Throuvala et al 2019).…”

Studies conducted on Social Networking Sites (SNSs) addiction have to a large extent focused on Facebook as a prototypical example of SNS. Nonetheless, the evolution of SNSs has spawn conceptual and methodological controversies in terms of the operationalization of SNS addiction. In order to bring more clarity to this field the present study aimed to investigate the construct validity of the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS) in comparison to the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale (BFAS) among 1099 young subjects (146 Facebook-only users and 953 who had an account on Facebook and at least one additional SNS). Furthermore, the study aimed to investigate the unique contribution of SNS addiction to stress and general well-being above and beyond personality characteristic and Facebook addiction specifically. Participants completed a survey assessing SNS addiction, Facebook addiction, demography, Big Five personality traits, perceived stress, and general subjective well-being. BSMAS had acceptable fit with the data and demonstrated good reliability. Results showed that the scores of BSMAS were strongly associated with those of BFAS and that the relationship between the two measures was stronger in the group of Facebook-only users than in the group of multisite-social networkers. Moreover, SNS addiction was positively associated with perceived stress and negatively associated with subjective well-being after controlling for Facebook addiction and other study variables. Theoretical and methodological implications of the findings are discussed.

This review examines the current literature focused on nomophobia (objectives, methodological design, main variables, sample details, and measurement methods) in the Scopus and Web of Science databases. To this end, we conducted a systematic literature review in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) guidelines. The initial sample consisted of 142 articles, of which 42 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed in detail. The findings show that the current research is in an exploratory phase, with a greater predominance of descriptive, nonexperimental, and cross-sectional studies that explore the prevalence of nomophobia mainly in adolescents and university students. The most widely used measurement instrument is the Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q) proposed by Yildrim and Correia. In addition, the research suggests that nomophobia negatively affects personality, self-esteem, anxiety, stress, academic performance, and other physical and mental health problems. We are therefore faced with a health problem, which negatively affects a person, causing psychological problems and physical and behavioral changes.

“…It indicates that now, social media has become a center for the activities of teenagers in their daily lives. Activities undertaken by adolescents on social media include sharing pictures, videos, or other information to a wide audience (Throuvala et al, 2019). These activities are part of activities that can shape the occurrence of social interaction.…”

This study examines and discusses how social interactions of adolescents who use social media that carried out directly and indirectly, social interaction motives, and the impact on their psychological aspects. This research uses a qualitative approach. The research analysis used is the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). This study analyzed three cases of adolescents who use social media with an average social media usage of 7-10 hours per day. These three cases explain how the interaction of adolescents using social media. The results show that adolescents engage in social interactions with positive motives such as friendship, group discussion, business, and also honing language skills. In addition, there are two negative motives shown, namely revenge and the desire to drop. High intensity of using social media causes poor quality of direct interaction. Adolescents get busier with their mobile phones and do not heed the surrounding environment.
