“…In our study, although the one-factor model showed a good fit for the data, strict unidimensionality was not supported. Our findings partially contrast with those of Boer et al ( 25 ), Savci et al ( 27 ), and Boer et al ( 29 ), who argued that the scale is unidimensional and measures one latent variable.…”

BackgroundThe importance of studying the excessive use of social media in adolescents is increasing and so is the need for in-depth evaluations of the psychometric properties of the measurement tools. This study investigated the properties of the Social Media Disorder Scale (SMDS) in a large representative sample of Czech adolescents.MethodsWe analyzed the representative sample of 13,377 Czech adolescents (50.9% boys), 11–16 years old, who participated in the Health Behavior in School-aged Children (HBSC) survey (2017–18), using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and network models. Furthermore, we evaluated the measurement invariance and constructed the validity of the SMDS.ResultsWe found support for a single dominant factor but not for strict unidimensionality. Several residual correlations were identified. The strongest were for: problems–conflicts–deceptions; persistence–escape; and preoccupation–tolerance–withdrawal. Girls, particularly 13- and 15-year-olds, scored higher than boys in the same age group, and 13- and 15-year-olds achieved higher scores than 11-year-olds, although some items were not invariant between the groups. The SMDS was positively related to other online activities, screen time, and falling asleep late, but negatively related to well-being and mental health.Discussion and conclusionsThe SMDS showed solid psychometric properties and construct validity. However, small violations of measurement invariance were detected. Furthermore, the network analysis showed important residual relationships between the items.

“…It is a Likerttype scale consisting of nine items and one dimension. The scale, adapted into Turkish by Savcı et al (2018), explains 47.88% of the total variance. There is no reverse-scored item on the scale, and high scores indicate an increased risk of social media disorder/addiction.…”

The purpose of this study is to test the relationships between teacher candidates' technology addiction and their social connectedness. Students studying at a faculty of education in a state university selected by the convenience sampling method constituted the sample of the study. Correlation analysis and association rules were used to analyze the data. The results of the study are as follows: (1) Social connectedness is inversely related to social media addiction and digital game addiction. (2) If Internet addiction and smartphone addiction are low while social connectedness is high, social media addiction is low. (3) If social media addiction and smartphone addiction are low and social connectedness is high, digital game addiction is also low.

“…The higher the score, the higher the risk of social media addiction. The SMD was adapted to Turkish by Savci et al (2018) and has very good internal consistency. In the present study, the internal consistency of this scale was also very good (α = 0.88).…”

Social media use has become part of daily life for many people. Earlier research showed that problematic social media use is associated with psychological distress and relationship satisfaction. The aim of the present study was to examine the mediating role of psychological distress in the relationship between social media addiction (SMA) and romantic relationship satisfaction (RS). Participants comprised 334 undergraduates from four mid-sized universities in Turkey who completed an offline survey. The survey included the Relationship Assessment Scale, the Social Media Disorder Scale, and the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale. According to the results, there were significant correlations between all variables. The results also indicated that depression, anxiety, and stress partially mediated the impact of SMA on RS. Moreover, utilizing the bootstrapping procedure the study found significant associations between SMA and RS via psychological distress. Consequently, reducing social media use may help couples deal with romantic relationship dissatisfaction, thereby mitigating their depression, anxiety, and stress.
