“…As a new type of behavioral addiction, SNS addiction has received much scholarly attention globally in recent years, and there are numerous studies exploring the risk factors linked to SNS addiction (Marino et al, 2018a,b). Prior studies found that attachment, especially insecure attachment, is closely related to SNS general use and addiction (Blackwell et al, 2017;Monacis et al, 2017;Flynn et al, 2018;Worsley et al, 2018a,b;Chen, 2019;D' Arienzo et al, 2019;Marino et al, 2019). Our results are consistent with prior findings.…”

“…That is the higher level of insecure attachment, the higher level of basic psychological needs frustration. Recently, a study conducted based on Facebook found that anxious attachment negatively correlated with the basic psychological need of "relatedness" (Lin, 2016;Chen, 2019). Furthermore, research showed that frustration with psychological needs led to FOMO (Przybylski et al, 2013;Xie et al, 2018).…”

Evidence supports predictive roles of adult attachment orientations for the maintenance of social networking site (SNS) addiction, but the underlying mechanisms are mostly unknown. Based on attachment theory, this study explored whether online social support and the fear of missing out mediated the relationship between insecure attachment and social networking site addiction among 463 college students in China. A questionnaire was used to collect data using the Experience in Close Relationship Scale-Short Form, online social support scale, fear of missing out scale, and Chinese Social Media Addiction Scale. The results showed that online social support and fear of missing out mediated the relationship between anxious attachment and social networking site addiction in parallel paths and serially, and online social support negatively mediated the relationship between avoidant attachment and social networking site addiction. Theoretically, the present study contributes to the field by showing how insecure attachment is linked to SNS addiction. Practically, these findings could aid in future studies on SNS addiction prevention and interventions. Limitations of the present study were discussed.

In earlier studies, we assumed that our studies have shown that experience of computer game addiction of students is a process of creating a mental image virtual reality fundamentally transforms addict's psychic reality, which then begins to obey its own internal and independent laws, and these laws cannot be described in the framework of classical approaches to psychology.…”
