“…This finding is consistent with the existing literature, demonstrating that narcissistic individuals score higher on PSU [13]. Individuals with narcissistic traits may use smartphones for self-promotion and self-presentation in social media sites (such as Facebook, Instagram), given their disposition to these behaviors, and positive mood modification by satisfying the desired gratification may develop into PSU [32]. The results also demonstrated that narcissism was indirectly associated with PSU via FoMO.…”

“…Research exploring the extent to which the DT of personality traits predict social media use have largely focused on traits such as narcissism, typically indicating that individuals who score higher in narcissism are more frequent social media users (e.g., [29][30][31]) Since FoMO is related, among other online activities, to social media use [20], it becomes interesting to study its association with the DT of personality. Contrarily, Machiavellianism and psychopathy have shown inconsistent and contradictory results across studies [32], therefore further research in relation to these traits is required. Additionally, the DT of personality traits has distinct features that may generate vulnerability for problematic online behavior.…”

The present study examined whether the relationship between the Dark Triad (DT) of personality and problematic smartphone use (PSU) can be explained by the mediating role of fear of missing out (FoMO). The role of FoMO in this relationship has yet to be examined. A total of 457 participants completed an online survey. Results indicated that males scored high on measures assessing DT of personality, while females scored high on PSU. Structural equation modelling showed that narcissism was directly associated with PSU. FoMO partially mediated the association between narcissism and PSU. Machiavellianism and narcissism were directly associated with FoMO. In the fully mediated model, narcissism (but not Machiavellianism) was still associated with FoMO, and in turn, FoMO was related to PSU. Although preliminary, the results of the present study indicated that Machiavellianism and narcissism might represent antecedents of FoMO, in addition to the Big Five personality traits, and both could be involved in the development of PSU.

“…En los últimos quince años, las redes sociales han experimentado un desarrollo colosal. Así lo atestigua el alto número de plataformas de este tipo existentes en la actualidad, la gran cantidad de usuarios que acumulan o el elevado número de horas que las personas pasan diariamente en ellas (Vaid y Harari, 2021). Desde la irrupción de Facebook en 2004 (Hoffmann, Proferes y Zimmer, 2018), las distintas redes que la han seguido han generado importantes cambios en el modo en el que las personas se comunican y relacionan.…”

The deep interweaving of screens and social networks in the family affects the educational work that is carried out within it. This article explores the anthropological risks that the uncritical realization of different online fashions can entail for the mother-father-child relationship. To do this, a case study is carried out on eleven challenges of the TikTok social network, involving parents and children through retrospective qualitative research, which combines virtual ethnography with thematic content analysis. The different challenges were coded into five categories. The findings are analyzed from a statistical approach and then an interpretive analysis is performed. The results show the ease with which digital devices can promote the loss of the symbolic difference between generations, profoundly affecting educational elements of the family institution such as moral authority, limits or unconditional acceptance; elements that in conclusion are essential for children to find in the family a safe place from which to start building their personal identity.

“…Extraversion, openness and neuroticism are robustly linked to the use of diverse social media platforms. Personality accounts for the variance in social media use significantly more compared to sex and age [50]. The literature review yielded the following research hypotheses: Hypothesis 2 (H2).…”

Content published in social media (SM) can be motivating. It can induce action, stimulate demand, and shape opinions. On the other hand, it can demotivate, cause helplessness, or overwhelm with information. Still, the impact of SM is not always the same. The paper aims to analyse the relations between sex, personality, and the way social media is used and motivation to take specific actions. The conclusions are founded on a survey (n = 462). The data were analysed with statistical methods. The study revealed that the use of SM has a significant impact on the motivation to act. Browsing through descriptions and photographs of various achievements posted by others in SM increased the intrinsic motivation of the respondents. Positive comments and emojis had a similar effect. Moreover, women and extraverts noted a significantly greater impact of SM on their intrinsic motivation concerning health and beauty effort, travel, hobby, and public expression of opinions than men and introverts. The results can be useful to recruiters. Extravert women that are open to cooperation, thorough, and well-organised are more likely to be active in SM.
