Social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia, is characterized by an intense fear of social situations where one might face humiliation, rejection, embarrassment, or negative evaluation. This disorder leads individuals to avoid activities like casual conversations, public speaking, or seemingly simple tasks such as eating, signing documents, or swimming, in public settings.

Deviant Behavior
Deviance in behavior refers to actions or thought patterns that significantly diverge from societal norms or...

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Psychology
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Problematic patterns of social media use are a growing concern.
  • The International Classification of Diseases, 11th Revision (ICD-11) now includes gaming disorder under addictive behaviors.
  • Economical screening tools for problematic social media use (PSMU) are currently lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the psychometric properties of an adapted questionnaire, the Social Media Disorder Test (SMDT).
  • To assess the reliability and validity of the SMDT for measuring PSMU in young adults.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was conducted with 443 youths (mean age: 20.11 years).
  • Participants completed the SMDT, alongside measures of PSMU, self-control, and psychopathology.
  • Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), reliability, and correlation analyses were performed.

Main Results:

  • The SMDT demonstrated very good fit indices in CFA, supporting a one-factor structure.
  • A high reliability coefficient of 0.90 was observed for the SMDT.
  • Initial indications of criterion validity for the SMDT were found.

Conclusions:

  • The four-question SMDT appears to be a highly economical instrument for measuring PSMU.
  • The SMDT aligns with ICD-11 criteria for behavioral addictions.
  • Further research is needed to confirm these findings.
