Parental disregard is a powerful interpreter of adolescents’ behavioral problems. In Pakistan, all students utilize social media platforms for educational, entertainment, and informational purposes, which in turn has detrimental impact on adolescents’ physical as well as psychological health. Hence it is important to study the consequences of social media addiction, which is becoming a global health issue. However, research findings have looked at and found erratic correlations with the relationship believed to exist between parental neglect and teenage conduct disorder. Aim of current study is to shed more light on this idea by determining if adolescent social media addictive use moderates the link between parental neglect and behavioral issues. Multidimensional Parent Neglect Scale (MBNS; Straus et al., 1999), Social Media Addiction Scale (SMAS; Karadag et al., 2015) and Conduct Problems Scale (CPS; Goodman et al., 2010) were used to collect data from 370 adolescent students by using purposive sampling technique. Findings revealed that social media addiction moderated the relation between parental neglect and conduct disorder among social media addict adolescents. Significant gender differences were also revealed on social media addiction and conduct problems. These findings offer information for systematically analyzing the role of social media addiction and the link between behavior issues and parental neglect. The findings of this study suggest that parenting techniques, characteristics of social media addiction, and their negative consequences on adolescents' behavior should be given more attention.

Place and Duration of Study: The sample was selected from different hospitals of Hazara Division, from Mar to Jul 2018. Methodology: The sample of 300 migraineurs with age range 18-55 years was selected from hospitals of Hazara Division through purposive sampling technique.

Results: Illness perception significantly predicted (p=0.002) quality of life in positive direction. The results also explored that positive coping (p≤0.001) and problem focused coping strategies (p=0.002) predict quality of life significantly positively; whereas active avoidance coping strategies (p≤0.001) significantly negative predict quality of life; while religious denial coping was non-significant predictor of quality of life.

Illness perception has significant positive relationship with religious denial coping (RDC) and active avoidance coping (AAC).
