“…62 In college students, the strong connection between perceived stress and problematic smartphone usage suggests that decreased perceived stress may decrease the risk of problematic smartphone usage. Addiction in this area is not established, but given the frequency of PSU amongst CYP and its significant association with symptoms of common mental disorders, 13 this relationship and consideration of PSU as a potential causative factor requires urgent further exploration.…”

“…10−12 This is similar to the approximately 25% addiction rate found in the systematic review of children and adolescents. 13 Problematic smartphone use (PSU) refers to smartphone use associated with at least some element of dysfunctional use, such as anxiety when the phone was not available, or neglect of other activities. 14,15 A systematic review, meta-analysis, and GRADE of the evidence indicate that approximately 1 in 4 children and young people are demonstrating problematic smartphone use, a pattern of behavior that mirrors that of a behavioral addiction.…”

“…14,15 A systematic review, meta-analysis, and GRADE of the evidence indicate that approximately 1 in 4 children and young people are demonstrating problematic smartphone use, a pattern of behavior that mirrors that of a behavioral addiction. 13 PSU shares many traits with substance abuse disorders and behavioral addictions, 14,15 and seems to be widespread. This is not surprising given that those at risk for PSU have similar characteristics to those at risk for other addictions.…”

“…PSU thus poses a different, and arguably bigger, public health problem than substance abuse or even online gaming. 13 Some researchers have also suggested adding "mobile phone addiction" to the DSM-V as a diagnostic criterion, but it was not accepted because of the lack of empirical research results 16 and the pathogenesis of mobile phone addiction is poorly understood. 17 Therefore, the concept of "problematic smartphone use" was adopted in this study.…”

Purpose Recent research has identified a relationship between perceived stress and problematic smartphone usage. However, little is known about the underlying mediating and moderating mechanisms. The present study aimed to test the relationship between perceived stress and problematic smartphone usage as well as the mediating role of online social support and the moderating role of perceived social support among Chinese undergraduates. Patients and Methods A sample of 1123 college students participated in the study. The Perceived Stress Scale, Mobile Phone Addiction Index Scale, Online Social Support Questionnaire, and Perceived Social Support Scale were used. Results Perceived stress was significantly and positively associated with problematic smartphone usage, and online social support partially mediated the relationship between perceived stress and problematic smartphone usage. Moderated mediation analysis suggested that perceived social support moderated the association between perceived stress and online social support. This relationship became stronger for college students with lower levels of perceived social support. Conclusion The results of this study can contribute to a better understanding of how perceived stress increases the risk of problematic smartphone usage. The importance of reducing online social support and enhancing perceived social support in preventing undergraduates’ problematic smartphone usage is highlighted. The findings should be taken with caution given the convenience sampling and cross-sectional study design.

“…29 A meta-analysis of eight studies examining the relationship between problematic smartphone usage (based on problematic social media usage) and depression found a consistently significant correlation between the two. 42 To explain this correlation, one study proposed a model in which depression was mediated by social comparison, with the results confirming their hypothesis. 43 In this model, social media was conceptualized as a medium whereby individuals are exposed to endless content from their peers, leading to constant social comparison.…”

ocial media addiction is a growing problem throughout the world. It has been characterized as a type of behavioral addiction, which can be measured using standardized criteria based on six general properties of addiction criteria: salience, mood modification, tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, conflict and relapse. Several studies have found a prevalence of approximately 10% for social media addiction in individuals across the globe, indicating that this problem is common and widespread. Deleterious effects of this disorder include depressive symptoms, increased anxiety, and a lowered sense of personal well-being. Social media addiction also has been linked to neuroplastic changes that diminish attention and impede an individual’s ability to focus. There many dimensions of social media that can foster addiction, including the exploitation of evolutionarily old urges to communicate and socialize, as well as intentional design of the user interface to hook users into constant use. There is little doubt that social media companies are financially incentivized to maximize user attentiveness to ads (i.e., ad views and clicks) on their platforms because user attention is the product for which they are paid. These companies maximize user attentiveness in two primary ways: first, by intentionally designing the interface to have properties intended to hold users’ attention; and second, by personalizing the content shown to users in order to make it more interesting and engaging for them. Social media addiction likely arises from the vicious cycle involving user attention leading to powerful dopamine-related reinforcement, which then stimulates more attention intended to achieve more reinforcement. This paper provides an overview of this multifaceted problem of social media addiction, including a brief review of addictions in general, social media addiction in particular, and a discussion of the prevalence and consequences of this addiction. Also discussed is the role social media companies play in addiction by design, along with the critical need to present solutions to social media addiction. These solutions, beginning with redesign of the user interface properties to make them more humane and ethical, are possible, but will not be easy. However, we all must work toward a world in which people use technology for their own well-being rather than for the well-being of those who control the technology.
