Item Social Media Behaviors and Psychosocial Predictors of Social Media Addiction(2018-02) Howard, Krista; Roming, Sinjin M.P.; Ceballos, Natalie A.; Dailey, Stephanie; Grimes, TomSocial media addiction is an ongoing problem. Maladaptive social and personal factors associated with addiction can include: • Preoccupation with social media; • Withdrawal symptoms; • Replacing important activities (sleep, eating) with social media use; • Escape from problems (poor coping); • Loss of relationships. Prior research has identified several independent factors related to social media addiction: • Desire for belongingness; • Lack of conscientiousness; • High levels of extroversion; • Low self-esteem; • Anxiety; • Depression; • Stress. This study aims to simultaneously evaluate both the social media behaviors and psychosocial factors related to high levels of social media addiction.
