“…The descriptive analyses demonstrate that as digital natives, nearly half of CEIT students had changed their Facebook accounts at least once, use Facebook daily for 19 minutes, and send 1 post daily, on average. The participating CEIT students' self-control mean score was found to be higher than the mean found for the Brief Self-Control Scale by Nebioglu et al (2012). However, when compared in terms of demographics, their self-control yielded no statistically significant difference.…”

“…The Brief Self-Control Scale. In order to find participants' levels of self-control, the Brief Self-Control Scale (BSCS), developed by Tangney et al (2004) and translated into Turkish by Nebioglu, Konuk, Akbaba, and Eroglu (2012), was used. The study by Nebioğlu et al (2012) aimed to adapt the BSCS to Turkish.…”

“…The BSCS is a 5-point Likert-type scale. As a result of CFA conducted by Nebioglu et al (2012), the BSCS was found to have perfect fit indices (χ 2 /df = 1.98, CFI = .98, GFI = .99, and RMSEA = .043). Cronbach's α internal consistency reliability coefficients of the BSCS ranged between .81 and .87.…”

Over the past decade, the use of social media applications have increased worldwide. In parallel with this, abuse of social media has also increased. In recent years, many disorders related to social media use have been conceptualized. One of the common consequences of these disorders is the intense desire (i.e., craving) to use social media. The aim of the present study was to develop the Social Media Craving Scale (SMCS) by adapting the Penn Alcohol Craving Scale (PACS). The study comprised 423 university students (242 females and 181 males) across five different samples. The psychometric instruments used included the Social Media Craving Scale, Social Media Disorder Scale, Brief Self-Control Scale, and Personal Information Form. In the present study, structural validity and reliability of the SMCS were investigated. The structural validity of SMCS was investigated with Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and criterion validity. The reliability of SMCS was evaluated using Cronbach α internal consistency reliability coefficient, corrected item total correlation coefficients, and test-retest method. As a result of EFA, the SMCS was found to be unidimensional scale. This unidimensional structure explained approximately half of the total variance. The unidimensional structure of SMCS was tested in two different samples with CFA. As a result of CFA, SMCS models were found to have acceptable fit values. The criterion validity of the SMCS was evaluated by assessing social media disorder, selfdiscipline, impulsiveness, daily social media use duration, social media usage history, frequency of checking social media accounts during the day, number of social media accounts, and number of daily shares. Analysis demonstrated that the SMCS was associated with all these variables in the expected direction. According to the reliability analysis (Cronbach's α internal consistency coefficients, corrected item total correlation coefficients, and test-retest method), the SMCS was found to be a reliable scale. When validity and reliability analyses of the SMCS are considered as a whole, it is concluded that the SMCS is a valid and reliable scale in assessing social media craving.

Stress is an omnipresent psychological force impacting many aspects of life. Although a moderate amount of stress is attributed to better performance, an excessive amount of stress can inhibit executive functioning abilities. Adolescents encounter numerous stressors that they must overcome. Self‐control, according to the ego depletion theory, has limited source and can diminish when individuals are overwhelmed. In this study, we collected data from 616 adolescents to ascertain the impact of stress on self‐control and procrastination. Specifically, we aimed to see if increased stress would decrease self‐control, which, in turn, would increase procrastination. The mediation analysis supported the above hypothesis, and the model explained 39% of the variance in procrastination scores. 61.30% of this relationship was explained by the indirect effect (i.e., stress increases procrastination through reduced self‐control). Our results support the existence of the debated ego‐depletion theory in the context of procrastination and self‐control.
