“…Culture and socialisation might play an important role in shaping children’s judgement about couple situations, as they see models of couple interactions in their families, in the media, and real-life situations. In addition, the present research refers to an imagined love-based situation, which might activate children’s memories about what they have socially learned in their families about living as a couple [ 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ].…”

Domestic chores are a topic of great interest for couple relationships since they are a source of conflict between intimate partners. The purpose of the present research is to investigate offering and asking for help with domestic chores and the respondents’ tendency to be intuitive or verbal or to do chores alone. A vignette applied to children and married adults. The respondents were 116 boys and 116 girls and 110 male partners and 300 female partners, who completed individual questionnaires, online using Google Forms, regarding helping behaviour. Research findings indicate that men are more verbal and women are more intuitive when offering help, but when asking for help with domestic chores, men and women are statistically similar. The present research raises questions about the role of gender differences in couple relationships, and about educational solutions for couples and provides opportunities for future research.

“…Iovu i wsp. [8] wykazali, że wysoki stopień aktywności członków rodziny na Facebooku ma negatywny wpływ na poziom ich satysfakcji z życia. Przeciwnie Sharaievska i Stodolska [9] informują, że korzystanie z portali społecznościowych zwiększa satysfakcję rodziny, umożliwiając uczestnikom pozostawanie w kontakcie z dalszymi jej członkami oraz pozwala rozwijać poczucie wspólnoty.…”

“…In their opinion, the misunderstandings might be due to differences in family members' views on the role of technology, the length of time young people can spend using SNS, the ways SNS are used and their impact on children. Iovu et al [8] showed that a high level of activity of family members on Facebook had a negative impact on the level of their satisfaction with life. A contrasting finding was reported by Sharaievska and Stodolska [9], who observed that the use of SNS increased a family's satisfaction, allowing family members to stay in touch with more distant relatives and develop a sense of community.…”

Introduction: In recent years, social networking sites (SNS), such as Facebook, Twitter or Instagram have gained immense popularity and have become an essential part of many people’s everyday lives. In Poland, 19 million people, i.e. about a half of the whole population, are active SNS users. Aim: The aim of the present study was to analyze the relationship of family and personality factors with daily SNS usage time in adolescents aged 14 to 19 years. Participants: The study included 291 junior-high and high school students aged 14–19 years. In this sample, 246 individuals had an SNS profile. Methods: The following instruments were used: an Inquiry Form designed by the present authors, Gough and Heilbrun’s Adjective Check List, the Coping with Stress Questionnaire by Janke, Erdmann and Boucsein and the Buss and Durkee Hostility-Guilt Inventory. Results: Based on correlation coefficients, significant associations were found between increased daily SNS usage and negative relationships with parents, maladaptive coping, and increased aggression. Conclusions: 1. Participants who spent more time using SNS were more likely to feel lonely in their families and have a sense of not being accepted and understood by their parents. 2. Young people who spent more time using SNS were more likely to respond to a stressful situation with a sense of helplessness and resignation and to cope by downplaying their problems and seeking substitute gratification or support. 3. Young people who spent more time using SNS were more likely to respond with indirect aggression, negativism, suspicion, hostility and verbal aggression.

“…Regarding the relationship between depressive symptoms and addiction to SNs, there are many studies based on applying the first measure of addiction to the internet ( Young, 1998 ), and the results consistently show positive correlations between the two phenomena ( Zhang et al, 2015 ; Becoña, 2016 ; Błachnio et al, 2016 ; Hussain and Griffiths, 2018 ; Peris et al, 2018 ; Iovu et al, 2020 ). Therefore, it is expected that this study will find similar results.…”

Social Networks Addiction (SNA-6) – Short: Validity of Measurement in Mexican Youths

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The excessive use of social networks needs to be addressed, and this phenomenon needs to be measured for the purpose of evaluation, prevention, and intervention among adolescents and young people. The objective of the study was to adapt and psychometrically validate the Brief Scale of Addiction to Social Networks (SNA-6) among Mexican adolescents and young adults. The participating sample consisted of 2,789 students from 6 public educational campuses in Cuernavaca (Morelos, Mexico). Data collection was carried out through a web platform to strictly maintain anonymity, voluntary participation, and confidentiality. Data analysis first focused on the detection of possible response biases (random intercept model and careless/insufficient effort), the quality of the response structure partial credit model (PCM), dimensionality (CFA and invariance), and the relationship with external variables. It was found that when the range of efficient response options was limited to less than five, reliability was high (0.91), and unidimensionality was maintained. Response biases slightly affected the dimensional structure of the instrument. Measurement invariance reached scalar invariance in the sex, age, and campus groups. The association with sensation seeking and depression, controlling for sex and age covariates, was statistically significant, small, and theoretically consistent. Implications of the results are discussed.
