“…In the present study, a cutoff score as equal or more than 18 on the BFAS was used (i.e., the monothetic approach). The BFAS has shown good validity and reliability in previous research (e.g., Atroszko et al, 2018;Brailovskaia et al, 2018). In the present study the Cronbach's alpha was very good (0.75).…”

“…Over the past few years, there has been a significant in research investigating social media addiction with most research examining 'Facebook addiction' (FA) which has been classed by some scholars as a potential behavioral addiction (Hormes, 2016) and subsumed within the more general Internet addiction (IA) research field (Atroszko et al, 2018;Griffiths, Kuss, & Demetrovics, 2014). Young (1999) claimed there were five different types of IA comprising computer addiction (i.e., computer game addiction), information overload (i.e., web surfing addiction), net compulsion (i.e., addictions to online gambling, online shopping, online day trading, etc.…”

Social media addiction has become an area of increasing research interest over the past few years. However, there has been no previous research on social media addiction in Bangladesh. The present pilot study is the first ever in Bangladesh to examine the relationship between one specific form of social media addiction (i.e., 'Facebook addiction') and its associated predictors. This present study comprised 300 students from the University of Dhaka (Bangladesh) who participated in a survey that included questions relating to sociodemographics, health and behavioral measures, and the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale (BFAS), and the nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ9). The prevalence of FA was 39.7% (cutoff score was ≥18 on the BFAS). Using a regression analysis, the risk of being addicted to Facebook was predicted by being single, having less involvement in physical activities, sleep disturbance (more or less than 6 to 7 hours of sleep), time spent on Facebook (≥5 hours per day), and depression symptoms. Based on the sample in the present study, the risk of Facebook addiction (as assessed using the BFAS) appears to be a significant issue among Bangladeshi students, and depression appears to be one of the main comorbid factors.

Even though Social Media (SM) has penetrated the lives of roughly half the population of the world, connecting billions of people with friends and family, there are disadvantages that span the psychological and sociocultural dimensions of these users’ lives. At the present time, the disadvantages of SM outweigh the advantages. Many users have developed SM-based psychopathologies, such as addiction and depression, and SM is contributing to sociocultural crises, such as the fear of missing out (FOMO), self-objectification, and life dissatisfaction. This awareness has spawned a plethora of studies; researchers are uncovering new complexities about SM, and are expanding communal knowledge of factors that contribute to the psychological and sociocultural lives of SM users. Effects of SM are examined in this integrative review because they directly and indirectly influence the mental and physical health of SM users.

“…Research on addictive Facebook use has still not yielded a complete and consistent psychological profile of individuals who are in the risk group or a complete and consistent picture of the influence of addictive Facebook use on health (Keles, McCrae, & Grealish, ). A number of studies conducted to date point to various predictors of Facebook addiction (Atroszko, Balcerowska, Bereznowski, Biernatowska, Pallesen, & Schou Andreassen, ; Marino, Gini, Vieno, & Spada, ), but research on addictive Facebook use has still not yielded a complete and consistent psychological profile of individuals who are in the risk group or a complete and consistent picture of the influence of addictive Facebook use on mental and physical health (cf. Müller, Dreier, Beutel, Duven, Giralt, & Wölfling, ).…”

The main aim of the study was to examine the determinants of sleep problems including Facebook intrusion, depression, and future time perspective. The participants were 426 adolescents, aged M = 14.68. The Future Time Perspective Scale, the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, the Facebook Intrusion Questionnaire, and the Medical Outcomes Study Sleep Scale were used. It was found that FTP goals were a negative predictor of Facebook intrusion and depression was a positive predictor of Facebook intrusion and sleep problems. Additionally, Facebook intrusion turned out to contribute positively to sleep problems. The results contribute to knowledge on excessive social media use and its relations with mental health; they can be applied in the treatment of addictive social media use.
