The interplay between ADHD symptoms and time perspective in addictive social media use: A study on adolescent Facebook users

Suicidal Ideation in Adolescence: A Perspective View on the Role of the Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex

“…Individuals may be particularly sensitive to this need during adolescence, considering that this is when the peer group becomes a primary social reference with respect to the family (Somerville, 2013;Marengo et al, 2018;Badenes-Ribera et al, 2019). A thwarted sense of belonging may affect people's psychological well-being, increasing emotional distress and dysregulation (Marengo et al, 2018;Settanni et al, 2018). By nature, social exclusion can counteract the sense of belonging in adolescents (Cheek et al, 2020).…”

Relationships Between Social Support, Loneliness, and Internet Addiction in Chinese Postsecondary Students: A Longitudinal Cross-Lagged Analysis

“…Because college student have ample leisure time and convenient and consistent Internet access through a range of wireless tools, modern postsecondary students often spend considerable time on the Internet, and therefore, they are more likely to experience Internet addiction ( Morahan-Martin and Schumacher, 2000 ; Marengo et al, 2018 ; Settanni et al, 2018 ). Additionally, the initial stage of postsecondary life is a critical period in students’ development.…”

Relationship Between Shyness and Generalized Pathological Internet Use Among Chinese School Students: The Serial Mediating Roles of Loneliness, Depression, and Self-Esteem

“…Studies have repeatedly found that GPIU has many consequences on school students ( Shi et al, 2017 ; Geng et al, 2018 ; Marengo et al, 2018 ). For example, GPIU may lead to poor academic performance and social difficulties ( Cao et al, 2018 ; Settanni et al, 2018 ), negative emotions (such as depression and loneliness) ( Schimmenti et al, 2014 ; Sharifpoor et al, 2017 ; Zhao H. et al, 2017 ; Marengo et al, 2018 ; Settanni et al, 2018 ), lower self-esteem ( Seabra et al, 2017 ), less sleep, poor eating patterns ( Fuchs et al, 2018 ), body image dissatisfaction and internalizing symptoms ( Schimmenti et al, 2014 ; Marengo et al, 2018 ), decreased visual function ( Rachmayani, 2017 ), and the emergence of psychiatric disorders ( Fuchs et al, 2018 ). Thus, identifying the antecedent variables of school students’ GPIU and designing effective interventions are urgent.…”

“…Third, shy individuals have some visibly negative symptoms (such as blushing) when they interact with others in real life, and these make shy people feel uncomfortable in face–to–face interactions ( Nikolić et al, 2016 ). Self-presentation theory indicates that shy people may experience some uncomfortable feelings in face–to–face interactions, because they are more likely to notice hostile auditory and visual cues from others, so they prefer to use the Internet to communicate ( Stritzke et al, 2004 ; Schimmenti et al, 2017 ; Settanni et al, 2018 ). Hence, shy individuals are apt to be online frequently and eventually develop GPIU.…”

“…Students were selected as the sample in this study for several reasons. First, school students face significant academic pressures, and engaging in Internet activities (such as online gaming) can help them relieve pressure and feel better emotionally ( Dutta and Chye, 2017 ; Longobardi et al, 2018 ; Settanni et al, 2018 ). Therefore, students who use the Internet frequently may develop GPIU.…”
