“…We hypothesized such a relationship in predicting social use (Kim & Haridakis, 2009), but we did not expect positive anticipation behaviors related to process use. In fact, some studies find that problematic smartphone use is more related to social use (Lopez-Fernandez et al, 2014;Zhitomirsky-Geffet & Blau, 2016), while others find more support for process use van Deursen et al, 2015).…”

“…UGT is unique among other theories in assuming that users are active consumers of media (West & Turner, 2007). UGT has been applied to understanding problematic internet use (e.g., Kim & Haridakis, 2009;Song et al, 2004), and more recently to problematic smartphone use (Dhir et al, 2015;Park, Kim, Shon, & Shim, 2013) by examining individual differences accounting for problematic use. Applying UGT within the context of problem smartphone use, individuals' problem smartphone behaviors may vary as a function of the particular types of smartphone uses they prefer (Park et al, 2013).…”

“…Higher levels of smartphone-related process and social usage should be associated with more problematic smartphone behaviors Kim & Haridakis, 2009;Wang, Tchernev, & Solloway, 2012). Specifically, problematic overuse and daily disturbance behaviors from the SAS should be associated with both process and social use (Kim & Haridakis, 2009). 2.…”

“…It has been argued that expected gratification from media use might lead to excessive and addictive use [60]. Studies based on uses and gratifications approach [61] suggested that motivations including seeking a virtual community, entertainment, relationship maintenance [62], seeking excitement, escapism [60,63], self-presentation and relation building [64] might be associated with problematic and compulsive Internet and FB use. Our findings were consistent with the idea that thwarted autonomy need satisfaction might be associated with presenting oneself at FB without external pressure and escape from daily life among adolescents too [60].…”

OBJECTIVE: In the last decade, using social network sites (SNSs) has grown and become an integral part of daily routine for adolescents. As known, ADHD is a major public health problem for all addiction types, including the Internet and SNSs addiction. Our aim was to examine the effect of ADHD, impulsivity types, using motivations, internalizing and externalizing symptoms on Facebook (FB) overuse and FB addiction among adolescents. METHODS: Participants were recruited from ADHD and non-ADHD adolescents who were applied to the child and adolescent psychiatry and have an active FB account. We used FB Use and Motivations Form, the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS), Bergen FB Addiction Scale (BFAS) and Conners-Wells' Adolescent Self-Report Scale-Long form (CASS:L). RESULTS: Our results indicated that ADHD adolescents have more fake FB accounts, have their own accounts for longer time, are using FB for more motivation types and FB overuse is more frequent than in non-ADHD counterparts. According to the degree of FB use, we have shown that adolescents with FB overuse behaviour have more externalizing symptoms and have higher CASS:L and Barrat impulsivity scores than others. Risk factors for FB overuse are: having a fake FB account and having higher ADHD index scores; risk factors for FB addiction are: higher attentional impulsivity, higher conduct problems scores and higher ADHD index scores. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study have improved our understanding about the risk factors of a new behavioural addiction type among adolescents. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…It was difficult for them to overcome these problems as well as balance their internet usage. Moreover, Kim and Haridakis (2009) in their study found that three dimensions of internet addiction, namely intrusion, escaping reality and attachment were positively correlated to loneliness, shyness, and sensation seeking. In addition, Kim and Haridakis's study revealed several predictors of internet addiction.…”

Facebook (FB) has increasingly become an essential part of the lives of people, particularly youths. Youths use this site extensively, mainly for fun, interacting with friends, making new friends, and keeping in touch with old friends. FB has become a big part of their daily routine, sometimes influencing them to neglect their duties and responsibilities. Guided by the uses and gratifications theory, the present study investigates the motives for using Facebook and their effect on the addiction to the site among Somali youths. The study employed a quantitative method by adopting an online survey to collect data. The data was collected for a period of one month by posting a questionnaire on Facebook walls. A total of 327 respondents participated in the study. The results suggest that there is a significant relationship between FB motives and FB addiction. Furthermore, the results of the multiple regression analysis suggest that motives related to political (ß=.142, p=.016), social interaction (ß=.203, p=.002), and entertainment (ß=.329, p=.000) significantly contributed to FB addiction among the youths. Among the motives, entertainment and social interaction were the best predictors of FB addiction. Implications, future research scope, and contributions of the study are also discussed.
