ABSTRACT
Conclusion:
Our results indicate that social media addiction in adolescents is related to daily social media usage, social anxiety levels and ADHD symptom levels.
Results:
While no significant relationship between the participants’ ages and their SMD-9 scores was found, there was a significant relationship between their SMD-9 scores and daily social media usage. A medium positive correlation between the SMD-9 and SASC scores, when SMD-9 and CASS-S subscale scores were evaluated; a weak positive correlation between the conduct disorder subscale, a medium positive correlation between the cognitive problems-inattention subscale, a strong positive correlation between the ADHD index, and a medium positive correlation between the CASS-S total scores was determined. No significant correlation was found between the scores of SMD-9, CDI, and hyperactivity subscale of CASS-S. According to the multi-linear regression model, a significant effect of daily social media usage, SASC, conduct disorder, cognitive problems-inattention, ADHD index scores and CASS-S total scores on SMD-9 scores.
