“…The preference for online social interaction in combination with low social competence but high social needs and the expectancy to reduce the feelings of fear of social isolation and FoMO may drive an excessive use of social networks. This is in line with the social compensation hypothesis, which states that unsatisfied (social) needs, social deficits, and the preference for online social interactions may result in an overuse of social networks (e.g., [25,56]).…”

“…Besides the role of social loneliness, Wegmann and Brand [3] showed that less perceived social support also had a direct effect on the symptom severity of a social networks use disorder. The results by Brailovskaia et al [56] indicated that individuals perceiving high social support showed higher engagement in online social network activities and were at a higher risk to develop tendencies of a social networks use disorder. The authors differentiated between offline and online social support; therefore, high-perceived social support offline seems to be a protective factor, while online social support leads to an excessive use.…”

“…Herrero et al (2019) also argue that high social support enhances the risk of a problematic social networks use, which additionally negatively affects the perceived social support, which points to accumulating effects. Furthermore, Brailovskaia et al [56] showed that individuals with high social competences may also develop a problematic behavior, which then enhances the risk of social isolation as a consequence of an excessive use. Nevertheless, at early stages, the gratification of social needs (need for popularity, need for selfpresentation) in subjects with high social competences is seemingly linked to positive reinforcement [73,74], which is consistent with the rich-get-richer hypothesis [25], but which may revert when the behavior becomes habitual.…”

Purpose of Review Social networks use disorder describes the problematic use of social networking sites and onlinecommunication applications. Social characteristic of social networks use emphasizes the special relevance of psychosocial factors and social cognitions in this context. The current review aims at summarizing findings on individual psychosocial characteristics to analyze the relevance of social processes as potential mechanisms of a social networks use disorder. Recent Findings The empirical overview illustrates that, aside from psychopathological factors, individual psychosocial characteristics and social cognitions as well as their interactions appear to be relevant risk factors for a problematic use of social networks. However, empirical findings are mixed. Summary We propose two hypotheses on the development of a potential social networks use disorder that might account for mixed results: the fear-driven/compensation-seeking hypothesis including compensatory use expectancies and the reward-driven hypothesis including positive use expectancies as key elements, both of which could lead to symptoms of social networks use disorder depending on interindividual differences in predisposing and reinforcing factors.

“…In addition, it has been found that instrumental support, informational support, network management (Lin et al, 2016), perceived support (Lu and Hampton, 2016), and enacted support are all provided through SNS. Moreover, online social support provided through SNS is positively linked with the continued use of SNS and is also a significant predictor of SNS addiction (Lin et al, 2018;Liu and Ma, 2018b;Brailovskaia et al, 2019).…”

Evidence supports predictive roles of adult attachment orientations for the maintenance of social networking site (SNS) addiction, but the underlying mechanisms are mostly unknown. Based on attachment theory, this study explored whether online social support and the fear of missing out mediated the relationship between insecure attachment and social networking site addiction among 463 college students in China. A questionnaire was used to collect data using the Experience in Close Relationship Scale-Short Form, online social support scale, fear of missing out scale, and Chinese Social Media Addiction Scale. The results showed that online social support and fear of missing out mediated the relationship between anxious attachment and social networking site addiction in parallel paths and serially, and online social support negatively mediated the relationship between avoidant attachment and social networking site addiction. Theoretically, the present study contributes to the field by showing how insecure attachment is linked to SNS addiction. Practically, these findings could aid in future studies on SNS addiction prevention and interventions. Limitations of the present study were discussed.

“…Prior research examining the use of Facebook in political campaigns established that Facebook users encounter news online mostly by chance while they are using the Internet for other things (Boyd & Ellison, 2008;Ellison, Steinfield & Lampe, 2007;Lu, & Lee, 2019;Matsa & Lu, 2016). Past research has assumed that Facebook users believe that their Facebook friends are interested in their lives and activities as well as their problems (Brailovskaia, Rohmann, Bierhoff, Schillack & Margraf, 2019). This therefore re-enforces the assumption that users of Facebook rely on their friends to make decisions.…”

Facebook has become the main platform for young adults to sustain their social presence as well as expand their social networks. The impact of social media on youth decision-making has attracted much attention in research and academia. The research setting was at University of Fort Hare, a university located in South Africa. Before and during a student representative council (SRC) election at the university, the six student parties contesting for the leadership office utilised Facebook in communicating and marketing their campaign messages to fellow students. This research therefore empirically investigated how Facebook influenced university students’ intention to vote and elect an SRC for the institution. The survey methodology was adopted in collecting data and non-probability sampling, a form of convenience sampling was utilised in selection of suitable participants for the study. A total of 381 students participated in the study responding to questions examining potential drivers of selection of a particular student representative party (SRP). A conceptual model was developed with Facebook constructs that included “medium credibility of Facebook”, “peer communication on Facebook” and “user trust of Facebook” among other factors that influence students’ choice of an (SRP). The main findings established that identification with peers was observed as having the most significant impact on youths’ intention to vote for student representatives. Message credibility was found to have weak impact on student’s intention to vote for a particular (SRC) candidate. Implications emerged from the findings and further research suggestions were provided.
