“…In this condition, the spread of coronavirus in Palestine could amplify the risk of maladaptive and stressful symptoms in an already compromised living environment. Therefore understanding stress-related and COVID-19 associated outcomes is an urgent priority in Palestine (Mahamid & Bdier, 2020 ; Mahamid & Berte, 2019 ; Mahamid & Berte, 2020 ).…”

“…COVID-19 is expected to be an additional factor that may trigger stress among Palestinians when they are already experiencing multiple environmental stressors (e.g., militarization, poverty, lack of employment opportunities, cultural pressures, etc.). Fewer positive social outlets due to the restrictions on movement between communities, a lack of recreational facilities, and cultural standards of gender separation resulting from 70 years of military occupation affect the Palestinian lives (Mahamid & Berte, 2019 ; Mahamid & Berte, 2020 ). Mahamid and Bdier ( 2020 ) found that Palestinians got medium scores on perceived stress when the first cases of Covid-19 infection confirmed in Palestine.…”

“…Furthermore, many Palestinians work in Israeli settlements in which the disease is aggressively spreading. In turn, many of the Palestinian workers are exposed to COVID-19 infection at their workplace (Mahamid & Berte, 2019 ). The spread of the virus in Palestine may have a more significant impact on the population due to the overcrowding in the internally displaced refugee camps, lack of medical care, and limited ventilators (Mahamid et al, 2020b ; Mahamid & Bdier, 2021 ).…”

The main goal of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the COVID Stress Scales (CSS) in the Palestinian context and the factorial structure of the instrument. The CSS, a newly emerging internationally standardized measure of stress related to being exposed to or contracting COVID-19, was translated and validated for a Palestinian context to ensure that it can be used to measure COVID-19 stress. The sample of the study consisted of 860 Palestinian adults living in the West Bank of Palestine. Participants' age ranged from 20 to 48 years old (M = 34.7, SD =13.46). They were all recruited from online advertisements, e-mail campaigns, blogs, social media, and SMS campaigns. The CSS was found to be valid in the Arabic language within a Palestinian context. The confirmatory factor analysis yielded six factors: (1) Fears about the dangerousness of COVID-19, (2) fears about the personal social, and economic consequences of COVID-19, fears of disruption in the supply chain, fears of looting or rioting, (3) COVID-19-xenophobia, fears that foreigners are sources of COVID-19, (4) fears about sources of COVID-19-related contamination,(5) traumatic stress symptoms related to COVID-19, and (6) COVID-19-related checking which is consisting with the ordinal structure the scale. The CSS demonstrated a high level of validity and reliability in a Palestinian context and therefore can be considered for future studies as the COVID-19 pandemic persists. Further investigations using the Arabic Language of CSS may have far-reaching implications for measuring and combating the stress of COVID-19 at a personal and societal level for uniquely at-risk populations such as in the occupied territories of Palestine.

“…and fewer positive social outlets due to the restrictions on movement between communities, a lack of recreational facilities, and cultural standards of gender separation. In this situation, the spread of coronavirus in Palestine could lead to maladaptive and depressive symptoms in the face of heightened stressors and few intervention avenues (Mahamid and Berte 2019 , 2020b ).…”

“…In this context, it can be stated that more research is needed on social media addiction disorder due to the uncertainties regarding the social media issue and the problems it causes. against social media addiction (Akakandelwa & Walubita, 2018;Mahamid & Berte, 2019;Alaika, Doghmi, & Cherti, 2020;Szczygieł & Podwalski, 2020). Especially the fact that university students spend excessive time on social media and remain vulnerable to the risk of addiction can be a major threat to their mental health.…”

The aim of this study is to examine how cognitive flexibility and self-control variables predict the social media addiction levels of university students. Relational model-based screening conducted in the 2020-2021 academic year. The research group studying this study in different universities in Turkey, 230 (47%) were male and 259 (53%) were female, the total of 489 university students. The average age of the research group is 20.21. Social Media Addiction Scale, Cognitive Flexibility Inventory, Self-Control Scale and Personal Information Form were used as data collection tools in the study. The data obtained from the research were analyzed by using the stepwise regression analysis method from multiple linear regression analysis. As a result of the research; it was revealed that cognitive flexibility and self-control variables significantly predicted social media addiction.
