“…Our results may indicate that impulsivity, characterized as lack of planning or forethought and lack of consideration of the consequences [17], is a significant predictor of Facebook addiction and people who have a high level of impulsivity may have problems with dysfunctional Facebook use. Moreover, considering that impulsivity may also be a factor in procrastination [38,39], it should be noted that procrastination has been shown to be a predictor of Facebook addiction [40]. Taking all this into account, it can be assumed that impulsiveness may play a crucial role in this type of addiction, not only directly but also indirectly.…”

Facebook is one of the most popular social network sites and communication platforms. However, besides many positive elements related to the use of this network site, in some cases it may lead to addiction. Therefore, the main aim of our study was to identify Facebook addiction predictors, in particular, to verify whether impulsivity, as a dimension of self-control, is an important predictor of this type of addiction. We also examined whether Facebook addiction predictors such as time spent using Facebook, use of Facebook smartphone apps, state orientation and female gender would be significant in our model of Facebook addiction. The 234 participants in the study were assessed using the Facebook Intrusion Questionnaire, the Brief Self-Control Scale and the Action Control Scale. Impulsivity as a dimension of self-control, action control, amount of time spent on Facebook, Facebook app use and gender were found to be related to Facebook addiction. Specifically, a high level of impulsivity, more time spent using Facebook, female gender and Facebook smartphone app use are predictors of Facebook addiction. However, the relation between state orientation, restraint as a dimension of self-control and Facebook addiction was insignificant. Our results may indicate the role of impulsivity as a dimension of self-control in Facebook addiction. In addition, they may suggest that self-control should be taken into account not only as a one-dimensional but also as a multidimensional construct in Facebook addiction research. Our findings may also contribute to the better preparation of prevention and therapeutic programmes for people at risk of Facebook addiction.

“…Although both, Instagram and Facebook fulfil communication objectives, each operates differently in information transmission. Facebook is the most popular social networking site among all existing networks (Kaufmann & Buckner, 2014;Przepiorka et al, 2016). Individuals on Facebook refrain from posting/commenting negative content in relation to other users, thus maintaining their positive self-image (Spottswood & Hancock, 2016).…”

Majority of parents use social media platforms, with young mothers being the most active users. Academic research has only recently started addressing the impact of social media on mothers, although they are one of the most engaged online audiences. Instagram and Facebook perceived as positive types of social media, where users post positive content to increase encouraging response from their subscribers and thus enhance their self-esteem. This also relates to mothers portraying positive self-presentation online, therefore enhancing their parental self-esteem. This study provides in-depth analysis of 23 popular online profiles of mothers with more than thirty thousand followers on Instagram and 12 interviews with socially active mothers. This work focuses on mothers in Russia. Research findings show mothers with children of pre-school age are the most regular users of social media. This is due to time availability, as majority of these mothers are on maternity leave and due to little knowledge in child related aspects, which leads to lower self-esteem. They often look for assurance in online community. Mothers that are more confident have positive attitude towards social media communication. Mothers with initially lower self-esteem feel under pressure to maintain positive image to be in line with other mothers' presentation on social media. Mothers find Facebook more informative and supportive vehicle of communication than Instagram.

“…The literature related to both Facebook use and self-control is extensive. Educational Facebook usage (Junco, 2012;Kittinger, Correia, & Irons, 2012;Vivian, 2011), Facebook users' characteristics (Smith & Borreson Caruso, 2010), and the effects of self-control on addictions like Internet addiction (Assunção & Matos, 2017;Kittinger et al, 2012;Koc & Gulyagci, 2013;Przepiorka, Błachnio, & Díaz-Morales, 2016) are the most frequent research topics in the relevant literature. Some recent studies directly related to the current study are included here.…”

“…Neither demographic variables nor gender interactions were found to significantly predict usage characteristics. Przepiorka et al (2016) studied 954 Facebook users between the ages of 18 and 58. The Facebook Intrusion Questionnaire, Facebook Intensity Scale, General Procrastination Scale, and Decisional Procrastination Scale were used in their research, whose results showed that young participants use Facebook more intensely and are more likely to become addicted to Facebook.…”
