“…Nevertheless, similar to our study, literature also supports the preventive role of mindfulness, suggesting that mindfulness might help individuals to regulate their social media behaviors (Calvete et al, 2017;Charoensukmongkol, 2016a;Gámez-Guadix & Calvete, 2016). Similar results have been found for self-esteem, where those with higher levels of mindfulness are likely to also have higher self-esteem, which in turn contributes to a decrease in social anxiety and compulsive use of mobile social media (Apaolaza et al, 2019). It would be fruitful for future research to test our proposed models using social media addiction, to see whether our results hold for that broader concept.…”

“…In that case, mindfulness interventions might alleviate symptoms of addiction by reducing anxiety and depression rather than directly impacting addictive behavior. This idea is consistent with previous correlational studies showing that mindfulness negatively relates to depressive symptoms (Carmody & Baer, 2008;Raes et al, 2014) and to stress derived from compulsive social media use (Apaolaza, Hartmann, D'Souza, & Gilsanz, 2019). Therefore, the present study tested an alternative structural model (which we label the "alternative model") which represented mindfulness as an indirect predictor of Facebook addiction through psychological symptoms and self-esteem.…”

Facebook addiction is a growing issue that has increasingly attracted the attention of clinicians and researchers in a variety of countries and cultures. Relying on the Cognitive-Behavioral Model for Pathological Internet Use, and in a sample of Turkish undergraduates, we investigate whether mindfulness might account for how self-esteem and psychological problems (depression, anxiety, and stress) connect to Facebook addiction. A total of 298 college students completed measures of Facebook addiction, self-esteem, mindfulness and psychological problems, which we analyzed using path analysis, testing various models of how Facebook addiction might be predicted by these factors. We found that Facebook addiction was positively associated with psychological problems and negatively associated with self-esteem and mindfulness, with mindfulness fully accounting for the association between psychological problems, self-esteem and Facebook addiction. These results support the role of mindfulness in the prevention of Facebook addiction and the treatment of addicted individuals. This study also helps clarify previous research connecting mindfulness to Internet addiction, and extends those findings cross-culturally to a Turkish context.

“…Similar to other known addictions, such as gambling, shopping, or sexual activity, it typically manifests through a set of symptoms, including salience, tolerance, mood modification, withdrawal, conflict, and relapse [5]. Although there is debate on the term addiction concerning technology use, social media addiction, also referred to as "compulsive," "excessive," "problematic," "maladaptive," or "pathological" social media use, has been studied extensively [6][7][8][9][10].…”

The proliferation of social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have revolutionized the way people communicate, consume, and share information. As a result, social media addiction, a type of behavioral addiction related to the compulsive use of social media and associated with adverse outcomes, has been discussed by scholars and practitioners alike. Despite the abundance of research published on social media addiction, this literature is fragmented, and there is no synthesis of the drivers and outcomes of this behavior. In this study, we use the cognitive-behavioral model of pathological use and conduct a systematic review of social media addiction literature from 2008-2019. Based on the review of 132 papers, we propose a framework that integrates prior findings. Our review reveals several avenues for future research on this increasingly prominent research topic.

“…It stands to reason that people who feel that they are not living in supportive, trustworthy, and close-knit neighborhoods are more likely to use social media platforms to reach out for friends and relatives elsewhere to make up for the lack of connection to their neighborhood. And to the extent they do so mindfully (Apaolaza et al, 2019), they are likely to gratify their needs for attachment and belonging which in turn may lead to happiness. On the contrary, people who feel that they are living in more supportive, trustworthy, and close-knit neighborhoods, are more likely to enjoy a higher sense of belonging provided by meaningful relationships with their neighbors or by the experience of rootedness in their neighborhood, which in turn may result in using social media platforms for other purposes than seeking attachment and support from friends and relatives elsewhere.…”

Social participation and neighborhood social cohesion are positively associated with health and wellbeing. Given that in-person social interactions have generally dwindled over the past several decades at least in Western countries and social media use has become more common, in this study, we examined whether and how social media use interacts with social participation and neighborhood social cohesion in influencing happiness. Data were gathered from a representative sample of adults in Massachusetts, USA. General linear model was used to estimate the main and interaction effects of social participation, perception of neighborhood social cohesion and social media use on happiness, controlling for sociodemographics, marital status, employment, and self-rated health. Results indicated that both social participation and perception of neighborhood social cohesion were positively associated with happiness whereas social media use was not. However, there was a significant interaction effect of social media use and perception of neighborhood social cohesion on happiness. Compared with people with a high perception of neighborhood social cohesion, those with low perception were more likely to be happy as their social media use increased, suggesting that social media use may be helpful to promote happiness among people who perceive their neighborhoods as less supportive, trustworthy, and close-knit.
