“…However, some studies have reported a positive association between young people's use of social media and their online and offline engagement in healthy leisure activities and social participation (Leung & Lee, 2005;Niland et al, 2015). For instance, social media is found to be an important channel for your people to meet, interact and engage in positive experiences, relaxation, and "fun times together" with their peers, as well as to improve their social skills, social support, self-efficacy, and self-worth using online methods (Argyris & Xu, 2016;Austin-McCain, 2017;Lehenbauer et al, 2013).…”

The aim of this study was to investigate associations between social media use, self-reported health, dietary behaviours, and gender among young people living in Mauritius. For this cross-sectional study, questionnaires were distributed to a sample of 492 individuals (of which 64% were females) aged 14-29 year. A linear regression analysis investigating the associations between health problems and social media use, a number of dietary choices and behaviours, and gender was found to explain 49.9% of the variance in the prevalence of health problems, with social media use making the largest unique contribution (beta = 0.48). A MANOVA analysis found that there were significant gender differences in social media use, unhealthy food consumption, and self-reported health problems. This article concludes that the clash between gender, fast technological developments, and the influx of unhealthy foods in a glocal place has effects on young people through social media, and need to be monitored closely by youth and health policy-makers and researchers.

The DSM-5 introduced Internet gaming disorder (IGD) as a condition needing more research. Proposed criteria include tolerance, preoccupation, deceiving, or continued excess despite psychosocial problems. However, studies suggest differences between addicted and engaged players. Therefore, this study investigated differences between engagement and addiction in a German-speaking sample of expert World of Warcraft players. Using an online-based questionnaire, 682 participants were surveyed (Mage=23.26 years; 84.9% male) from German-speaking areas. An adapted version of the "Asheron's call" questionnaire (which covers six addiction criteria, including salience, euphoria, and tolerance), the WHOQOL-BREF, the Gaming Motivation Scale, the BDI, the SPIN, and a brief version of the personality questionnaire BFI-10 were used. The average gamer in the sample played on level 87.93 and had been playing for 5.42 years. Addicted players had higher scores on the BDI and SPIN and significantly lower scores in all dimensions of quality of life. Addicted gamers played for 39.25 hours per week (engaged players: 11.93 hours per week) with significantly higher scores in items tapping achievement and immersion. There were differences regarding the BFI-10 in terms of "agreeableness," "conscientiousness," and "neuroticism." The results suggest that factors such as achievement and immersion set engaged and addicted users apart. Addiction seems to be significantly more connected to other psychopathologies such as depression and social anxiety. The results suggest that euphoria, tolerance, and cognitive salience should be handled with caution when it comes to a classification of IGD similar to (behavioral) addiction.

“…(Perrin, 2015). In addition, the findings of this course work, and may constitute a relaxing, leisurely, and social activity (Lehenbauer et al, 2013;Leung, 2001). However, frequent and heavy social media use may indicate that undergraduate and graduate students may be using social media in their free time in place of off-line leisurely and social activities, such as hobbies, sports, or face-toface interactions with friends and family.…”

“…A study conducted with 218 college freshman revealed that students transitioning into college continue to use Facebook for selfdevelopment resources, such as self-presentation skills (Yang & Brown, 2016). Several other studies revealed positive outcomes for adolescents and those aged 16 to 24 years, such as improved social skills, social support, self-efficacy, and self-worth using online methods (Argyris & Xu, 2016;Lehenbauer, Kothgassner, Kryspin-Exner, & Stetina, 2013).…”

Background: Social media use has become an integral daily occupation of college and graduate students. In the United States, 90% of adults aged 18 to 29 years use social media (Pew Internet, 2015). Positive and negative data has been found which examined associations between social media use and other daily occupations (activities) that impact emotional and physical health. The purpose of this study is to examine the association of social media use with the satisfaction of daily routines and healthy lifestyle habits for undergraduate and graduate students.
