Background Desire thinking, impulsivity and suppression are psychological variables that are intricately related to behavioral addictions. Bearing in mind the scarcity of data on desire thinking, impulsivity, thought suppression and pathological social media use in developing countries such as Lebanon, with the existing literature suggesting a heightened mental health burden associated with this problematic social media use, it becomes all the more important to elucidate their relationship. Our study aims at investigating the association between desire thinking and problematic social media use specifically, and to further test the effect of impulsivity and thought suppression in mediating the relation between the two distinct facets of desire thinking and problematic social media use. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out between November 2021 and March 2022 using a sample of 414 community-dwelling participants aged above 18 years from all Lebanese districts. The data was collected through an online questionnaire including a section about sociodemographic information, the Desire Thinking Questionnaire (DTQ), Impulsive Behavior Scale (S-UPPS-P), White Bear Suppression Inventory (WBSI) and Social Media Disorder Short Form (SMD). The tests used in the bivariate analysis to assess correlates of SMD were the Student t test to compare two means and the Pearson test to correlate two continuous scores. The PROCESS SPSS Macro version 3.4, model four was used to conduct the mediation analysis. Results Desire thinking was shown to correlate with increased social media use. Moreover, we found that suppression and lack of premeditation mediated the association between verbal perseveration and social media use disorder whereas suppression and urgency mediated the association between imaginal prefiguration and social media use disorder. Conclusion This study provides new insight on a topic of increasing public health concern. Although understudied to date, suppression and impulsivity differentially mediate the influence of both facets of desire thinking on problematic social media use disorder. The current findings point to the highly pervasive issue of social media use disorder and the need to investigate underlying psychological factors that aggravate it to better profile and support individuals struggling with it.

Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic may increase mental health problems due to several pandemic-related stressors. These stressors may arise and become health problems. The study aims to provide evidence of determinants of mental health among adults in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and examines individual, family, and community factors contributing to adult mental health problems during the COVID-19 pandemic based on gender. Methods A total of 1,328 people (aged 24–59) from Sleman District, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, were involved in this cross-sectional study. We used secondary data from the Sleman HDSS sixth wave’s data collection in 2020. The measurement of mental health was the Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ). The analysis was conducted using chi-square tests and logistic regression. Results This study showed that 21.16% of respondents had a mental health problem. Based on stratified analysis by gender, the highest determinant of mental health in the male population was getting laid off (OR: 10.2; 95% CI: 1.50–70.0), and in the female population, it was having cancer (OR: 9.71; 95% CI: 1.67–56.5). The highest risk factor for the family level was being a woman in the poorest family (OR: 2.74; 95% CI: 1.46–5.11). In addition, at the community level, living in urban areas was protective against mental health problems (OR: 0.59; 95% CI: 0.36–0.97). Conclusions The individual level significantly influences mental health; however, we cannot ignore the contribution of family and community factors to preventing mental health problems in the adult population.
