“…These findings support previous research studies that have reported similar associations (Andreassen et al 2016;Bányai et al 2017;Pantic 2014;Shensa et al 2017). SNS addiction was positively associated with stress, as has been found in previous research that has reported associations between online behaviours and stress (e.g., Hou et al 2017;Park et al 2014;Lam et al 2009;Samaha and Hawi 2016). Xu and Tan (2012) argued that PSNSU occurs when an individual views SNS use as a mechanism to relieve stress.…”

Social networking sites (SNSs) are now used by billions of users worldwide and can help facilitate communication and the sharing of information. However, there is evidence that problematic SNS use (PSNSU) can have negative effects on health. The present study examined the associations between PSNSU, sleep quality, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, anxiety and stress among SNS users. A total of 638 SNS users (mean age = 32.03 years, SD = 10.08) completed an online survey comprising instruments assessing SNS addiction, sleep quality, ADHD, depression, anxiety and stress. Regression analysis indicated that the factors of age (β = − .24, p < .01), relationship status (i.e., being in a relationship) (β = − .09, p < .05), ADHD (β = .43, p < .01) and anxiety (β = .12, p < .01) explained 23.9% of the variance in problematic SNS use. Bivariate correlations identified moderate positive correlations between PSNSU, poor

“…The results showed that SNS addiction was positively associated with perceived stress and negatively associated with general subjective well-being even after controlling for Facebook addiction and other studied variables, which is congruent with previous studies (H4 and H6 substantiated; Hou et al 2017;Marino et al 2018b;Pontes 2017;Tromholt 2016;Turel et al 2018;Xue et al 2018). Facebook addiction showed a similar relationship with these variables before controlling for SNS addiction.…”

“…What is more, a metaanalysis showed a weak negative relationship between extraversion, agreeableness and openness to experience and Facebook addiction (Marino et al 2018a). In terms of mental health both Facebook addiction and more general SNS addiction have been found to be associated with low well-being and psychological distress (Atroszko et al 2018;Hou et al 2017;Marino et al 2018b;Pontes 2017). Hormes et al (2014) reported that Facebook addiction is related to emotional regulation deficits and susceptibility to both substance and non-substance addiction.…”

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.

“…Because of the relationship between stress and Internet addiction, stress likely influences social media addiction. In a study regarding the association of perceived stress and problematic social media use, Hou et al () found that as perceived stress increases, so does problematic social media use.…”

Despite the public's awareness of social media addiction, academic research in this realm remains limited. Filling this gap in the literature, the current study sought to understand predictors of social media addiction across four of the most popular social media platforms: Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram. Regression analyses showed support for a biopsychosocial approach, demonstrating that biological (age), social (including gender, intensity of use, need for social media, and social comparison), and psychological factors (specifically stress, empathic concern, conscientiousness, and depression) accounted for over 50% of the explained variance in social media addiction. Findings demonstrate that although younger individuals are highly susceptible to social media addiction, users who manifest empathy toward others may have an enhanced psychological resiliency against addiction.
