“…Our study supports the Interaction of Person-Affect-Cognition-Execution (I-PACE) model (Brand et al, 2016(Brand et al, , 2019, Social Compensation Hypothesis (Weidman et al, 2012), and the Compensatory Internet Use Theory (Kardefelt-Winther, 2014), such that high fear of negative evaluation favours CMC over FTF interactionsindicated by high ratings on problematic internet and social network site use -as a compensatory behavior to deal with low self-esteem and high social anxiety. In line with previous studies, this study confirmed that highly socially anxious individuals prefer using CMC over FTF as it reduces their anxiety and stress levels (Van Deursen et al, 2015;Zsido et al, 2020Zsido et al, , 2021.…”

“…According to Caplan (2002), anonymity and control over social situations are two major features of CMC. The extensive use of the internet and social media is one of the major reasons for several social problems young adults (18 to 25 years) face in technologically sophisticated countries (Arrivillaga et al, 2020a(Arrivillaga et al, , 2020b(Arrivillaga et al, , 2021Zsido et al, 2020).…”

“…Finally, people suffering from these psychiatric disorders, more specifically emotional disorders, are more prone to develop addictive disorders such as PSMU [ 23 ]. To boot, previous results indicated that social anxiety lead to favoring computer mediated over face to face communication [ 24 ]. Reciprocally, individuals with greater PSMU levels neglect some aspects of their lives thus contributing to the development of depressive symptoms.…”

Background Psychological factors such as depression, anxiety, stress and insomnia and problematic social media use are able to alter our memories and might have an impact on memory function and retrieval. More studies are needed to better understand the relationship between memory performance and mental health disorders, especially the ones that could be related to problematic social media use. The objective of this study was to evaluate any association between problematic social media use, depression, anxiety, stress, and insomnia vs memory performance among a representative sample of Lebanese people. Methods This cross-sectional study, conducted between January and May 2019, enrolled 466 community dwelling participants using a proportionate random sample from all Lebanese governorates. The questionnaire consisted of the following measures: the Memory Awareness Rating Scale (MARS) to assesses views of memory performance, the problematic social media use scale to measure the degree of addiction to social media, the Hamilton depression rating scale and Hamilton anxiety scale to assess depression and anxiety respectively, the Beirut Distress Scale to assess stress and the Lebanese Insomnia sale to assess insomnia. The data analysis was performed using the SPSS software version 25. A linear regression was conducted, taking the memory performance scale as the dependent variable. A mediation analysis was performed to test the effect of problematic social media use on memory performance mediated by depression, anxiety, stress and insomnia. Results Higher problematic social media use (Beta = − 0.21) and higher anxiety (Beta = − 0.25) were significantly associated with lower memory performance. The association between problematic social media use and memory performance was partially mediated by anxiety (21.19%) but not depression, stress or insomnia. Conclusion Concerning problematic social media use, a clear correlation was demonstrated in this study linking it to lower memory performances. Future studies should evaluate the possible mechanisms and methods for effective awareness especially towards the younger generation.

“…This can result in negative effects with regards to stress levels and sleep [14], disturbance, economic problems and cognitive or antisocial disorders [15]. In this sense, there are several papers showing that smartphone addiction can have serious health consequences related, especially, to the fear of missing out and social anxiety [16][17][18]. Even from a theoretical perspective, problematic smartphone use is described as a multifaceted phenomenon that is manifested in a variety of dysfunctional ways, such as addictive use and antisocial behaviours.…”

(1) Background: Nomophobia is a recent behavioural addiction phenomenon. The present study proposes the objective of determining levels of nomophobia in students of Education. In addition, it seeks to find evidence regarding whether cross-tabulating variables produces statistically significant differences and to examine whether the contemplated variables, together with nomophobia levels, can be used to generate a student profile. (2) Methods: A total of 510 students (M = 20.69 years) participated in this study. For the collection of information, we developed a Likert-type ad hoc scale of nomophobia. The quantitative data analysis programmes SPSS v.25 (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA), STATA.v.15 (StatCorp, Spring, TX, USA) and jamovi v.1.2 (The jamovi project, Sidney, Australia) were used to analyse information collected by the previously described scale. (3) Results: The study concludes the existence of three main levels of correspondence. The first is formed by students with a low level of nomophobia. It is associated with students undertaking the first year of a Master’s degree who are older than 24, and in this case, gender does not play a discriminating role. The second describes students with moderate nomophobia. It is associated with females, the degree titles of Pedagogy and Primary Education, undertaking the first or second year of degree study and ages of between 21 and 24. Finally, the third level of correspondence is formed by students with high nomophobia. It is related to the same characteristics as those previously mentioned but ages typically ranging between 17 and 20.
