Time perspective in Internet and Facebook addiction

The association between Facebook addiction and depression: A pilot survey study among Bangladeshi students

“…Studies have reported that both poor sleep quality including lack of sleep (Choi et al, 2009) and excess sleep (Islam & Hossin, 2016) are risk factors for IA and FA (Wolniczak et al, 2013). The findings reported here suggest that Facebook use can be problematic and support previous studies that have conceptualized problematic social media use as a behavioral addiction (Cerniglia et al, 2017;Hormes, 2016;Przepiorka & Blachnio, 2016;Wright et al, 2013). Young (2007) suggests that using the internet for 38 hours or more each week may result in addiction which is the main reason why one of the key variables examined was whether the individual spent more or less than five hours a day on Facebook.…”

“…Sociodemographic factors such as age, gender, relationship status, and occupational/educational status can all play important roles in determining patterns of Facebook use (Soron & Tarafder, 2015;Wolniczak et al, 2013). Predictors of problematic Facebook use have included a wide range activities and factors including engaging in less physical daily activities (Brailovskaia, Teismann, & Margraf, 2018), drug and alcohol dependence (Hormes, 2016), more time spent using Facebook (Hormes, 2016;Przepiorka & Blachnio, 2016;Wright et al, 2013), loneliness (Błachnio, Przepiorka, Boruch, & Bałakier, 2016;Teppers, Luyckx, Klimstra, & Goossens, 2014), poor sleep quality (Wolniczak et al, 2013), and experiencing relationship dissatisfaction (Elphinston & Noller, 2011). Some studies have also indicated that problematic Facebook use can have detrimental effects on mental health and has been associated with a variety of physical and psychological impairments affecting psychological wellbeing (Błachnio, Przepiórka, & Pantic, 2015;Hormes, 2016;Marino, Gini, Vieno, & Spada, 2018) including depression (e.g., Błachnio et al, 2015;Shensa et al, 2017;Wright et al, 2013).…”

The Role of Facebook Intrusion, Depression, and Future Time Perspective in Sleep Problems Among Adolescents

“…Interestingly, the study did not confirm that long future time perspective was a negative predictor of Facebook intrusion. In a previous study, future‐positive perspective was a predictor of Facebook intrusion and Internet addiction (Przepiorka, & Blachnio, ); however, the future dimension examined there was defined in accordance with a different approach: Zimbardo's time perspective theory (for a review, see Zimbardo & Boyd, ), connected with planning and pursuing goals. Perhaps, it is not so much the length of time perspective as planning that is related to problematic social media use.…”

“…Future time perspective correlated negatively with time spent playing, while present time perspectives correlated positively with time spent online. Time perspective played an important role in explaining the use of the Internet and social networking sites (Przepiorka & Blachnio, ). In our study, we approached FTP as a cognitive‐motivational construct, which means that an individual's FTP can be described in terms of its content (i.e., that which people strive to achieve) as well as in terms of its extension or depth (i.e., how distant future goals people set; Lens, Paixão, Herrera, & Grobler, ).…”

Role of Problematic Internet Use, Sense of Belonging and Social Appearance Anxiety in Facebook Use Intensity of University Students

“…In another research, Blachnio, Przepiorka, Senol-Durak, Durak, and Sherstyuk (2017) find that Facebook addiction has a positive relationship with Internet addiction. Likewise, Blachnio and Przepiorka (2016) find relationships between Facebook addiction, Facebook intensity, and Internet addiction. These researches show that there might be a relationship between intense use of Facebook and Internet addiction.…”
