“…Moreover, the relation between the SNAddS-6S and the Short SNAddS-6S with life satisfaction was also congruent with the reviewed literature showing that Internet addiction and SNA are related to poorer levels of satisfaction with life [37,39,40,[42][43][44]. Accordingly, our results showed that the scores on the SNAddS-6S (or on the different factors) were higher, the more they were dissatisfied with life.…”

The use of social networks has increased exponentially, especially among youth. These tools offer many advantages but also carry some risks such as addiction. This points to the need for a valid multifactorial instrument to measure social network addiction, focusing on the core components of addiction that can serve researchers and practitioners. This study set out to validate a reliable multidimensional social network addiction scale based on the six core components of addiction (SNAddS-6S) by using and adapting the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale. A total of 369 users of social networks completed a questionnaire. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed, and different competing models were explored. The external validity of the scale was tested across its relations with different measures. Evidence for the validity and reliability of both the multidimensional SNAddS-6S and the unidimensional Short SNAddS-6S was provided. The SNAddS-6S was composed of 18 items and five different factors (time-management, mood modification, relapse, withdrawal, and conflict), with the time-management factor as a higher-order factor integrated by salience and tolerance as sub-factors. The Short SNAddS-6S was composed of six items and a unifactorial structure. This scale could be of relevance for researchers and practitioners to assess the extent to which individuals suffer from social network addiction and to study the potential predictors and risks of such addiction.

“…Therefore, it is of utmost importance to get access to real-world data from tech-companies such as Facebook to answer such questions [but see problems with the recently launched “Social Science One”-initiative; (Ledford, 2019 ; Hegelich, 2020 )]. Alternatively, when it is not possible to web-scrape data without intruding into user privacy, one could invest more research energy and funding into simulations of social media platforms, where different constellations of in-built features are tested for a variety of research questions targeting usage time, well-being (Brooks, 2015 ; Duradoni et al, 2020 ) and effects of filter-bubbles on radicalization (Zuiderveen Borgesius et al, 2016 ), among others. Additionally, it is crucial to combine information on digital footprints with self-report data in order to get deeper insights into how different groups of people are using social media (Montag and Elhai, 2019 ; Peterka-Bonetta et al, in press ).…”

“…Furthermore, previous studies indicate that excessive Internet use heightens the risk of substance use [28], and problematic gaming elevates the future risk of developing gambling problems. Addictive use of social media was reported to be related to reduced well-being [29]. These findings demand closer attention to whether PSU occurring during this critical developmental period leads to mental health problems later [30].…”

The clinical course of problematic smartphone use (PSU) remains largely unknown due to a lack of longitudinal studies. We recruited 193 subjects with smartphone addiction problems for the present study. After providing informed consent, the subjects completed surveys and underwent comprehensive interviews regarding smartphone usage. A total of 56 subjects among the 193 initially recruited subjects were followed up for six months. We compared baseline characteristics between persistent addicted users and recovered users at the end of the 6-month follow-up. Persistent problematic smartphone users displayed higher baseline smartphone addiction severity and were more prone to develop mental health problems at the follow-up. However, baseline depressive or anxiety status did not significantly influence the course of PSU. PSU behaved more like an addictive disorder rather than a secondary psychiatric disorder. Harm avoidance, impulsivity, higher Internet use, and less conversation time with mothers were identified as poor prognostic factors in PSU. Lower quality of life, low perceived happiness, and goal instability also contributed to persistent PSU, while recovery increased these scores as well as measures of self-esteem. These findings suggest that the Matthew effect is found in the recovery of PSU with better premorbid psychosocial adjustment leading to a more successful recovery. Greater clinical resources are required for interventions in vulnerable populations to modify the course of this increasingly prevalent problematic behavior worldwide.
