This study explored possible paths from psychosocial (i.e., covert narcissism, loneliness, and anxiety) and cognitive (i.e., social self-efficacy and preference for online social interaction) factors to social networking service (SNS) addiction tendency. Survey data collected from 513 college students were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The final model, which included with covert narcissism, loneliness, social anxiety, social self-efficacy, preference for online social interaction, and interpersonal motives for SNS use as predictors of SNS addiction tendency, resulted in reasonable fit to the data. The results indicate that considering both psychosocial and cognitive variables as predictors of SNS addiction is an effective way to more comprehensively understand the processes through which college students become addicted to SNS. The findings from this study have clinical implications for psychotherapy with clients addicted to SNS. ey oodds: K SNS addiction, covert narcissism, anxiety, self-efficacy, online social interaction

The purpose of this study was to examine: (1) the relationships among two dimensions of children's perfectionism (both self-oriented and socially prescribed), and levels of depression, anxiety, and self-esteem; (2) whether or not selfesteem mediates the relationship between children's self-oriented perfectionism, and depression and anxiety; and (3) whether self-esteem mediates the relationship between socially prescribed perfectionism, and depression and anxiety. The participants were 406 fifth and sixth graders. Their data were collected with questionnaires. It was found that there are significant correlations between children's self-oriented perfectionism, and depression and self-esteem, and there are also significant correlations between children's socially prescribed perfectionism, and depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. It was also found that self-esteem mediates the relationship between the two dimensions of children's perfectionism, and depression and anxiety. These results seem to indicate that enhancing healthy selfesteem could lower the risks of experiencing depression and anxiety in children with perfectionistic personality.
