Furthermore, this condition also exhibits the characteristics identified by Griffiths [10] as hallmarks of behavioural addictions: mood modification, salience, tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, conflict, and relapse [10][11][12]. Furthermore, SMA is associated with both physical and psychological negative consequences, such as sleep disturbances [13], somatic symptoms [14], depression [15], and anxiety [16]. Given its clinical relevance, a growing body of research is addressing the understanding of SMA and the antecedents of this condition (see Lee et al.

Background
The use of social media became a daily activity for many individuals, with recreational, informational, and social purposes, to name a few. However, for some subjects, the use of these platforms may become problematic and generate functioning impairments in many life areas. Given this, the present research aimed at investigating the factor that may contribute to Social Media Addiction, by focusing on Fear of Missing Out and Family Functioning Patterns.
Methods
A sample of 303 social media users (Mage = 35.29; SD = 14.87; 65% females, 35% males) completed a survey including the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale, Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales-IV, and Fear of Missing Out Scale. Data were analysed by implementing Pearson correlation and testing a mediation with the Structural Equation Model approach.
Results
Cohesion, flexibility, and disengagement family functioning patterns were significantly associated with the levels of social media addiction. These dimensions were inserted in the structural equation model, where the full mediation of fear of missing out in their relationship with social media addiction was shown.
Conclusions
The data showed the protective effect of flexible and cohesive family functioning patterns, as well as the role of disengagement and, sequentially, fear of missing out as risk factors. These findings may provide useful indications to elaborate tailored and effective therapeutic and preventive activity.
... Furthermore, empirical evidence suggests that excessively frequent usage of SNs can have serious effects on human functioning. Such usage has been linked to various negative outcomes, including sleep disturbances, poor mental health, and diminished academic achievements (Swain & Pati, 2021). In this vein, we see problematic SNs use as a form of problematic Internet use. ...
The present research investigated the relationships between two self-concept variables (i.e., discrepant self-esteem and low self-concept clarity) and problematic use of social networking sites (SNs). Based on earlier evidence, we expected that these relationships would be mediated by one’s preference for online interactions. A sample of 176 Italian teenagers (71% female, Mage = 16.81 years) completed self-reported questionnaires that assessed their implicit and explicit self-esteem, self-concept clarity, problematic SNs use, and loneliness (to statistically control for its influence). Our hypotheses were supported only in the case of low self-concept clarity, not in the case of discrepant self-esteem. We found problematic SNs use in the case of teens with low self-concept clarity and convergent high self-esteem (i.e., high implicit and high explicit self-esteem), and these relationships were mediated by the preference for online interactions. These results suggest that the preference for online interactions is an important mediator variable that should be considered as a change mechanism in the relationships between self-concept variables and problematic SNs usage.
... Moreover, numerous previous studies have also extensively discussed the negative effects of social media use on individuals' well-being-for instance, cyber stalking, fear of missing out, sleep problems induced by social media use, and negative emotions induced by social media use, including jealousy, anxiety, depression, and fatigue. Individuals' subjective happiness is negatively affected by all these consequences of social media usage (Kaur et al. 2020(Kaur et al. , 2021aDhir et al. 2021;Tandon et al. 2021;Kumar Swain and Pati 2019). ...
This study aims to investigate the intricate relationship between social media motivations and subjective happiness, utilizing a novel framework based on the uses and gratifications theory and cultural restraint. Through a quantitative analysis using structural equation modeling (SEM) of a sample of 391 young Jordanian adults, the findings reveal a surprising positive correlation between social media motivations and subjective happiness, with cultural restraint emerging as a critical moderator in this dynamic. Cultural restraint negatively moderates the relationship between social media motivations and subjective happiness. By shedding light on the powerful role of cultural factors in shaping our relationship with social media, this study offers essential insights for practitioners seeking to enhance user experiences and maximize well-being. This research expands upon existing knowledge, providing a fresh perspective on the interplay between motivation and happiness, and highlighting the potential for understanding cultural restraint to unlock greater happiness and fulfillment in the digital age. The findings indicate that the positive impact of social media motivations on subjective happiness may be influenced by the level of cultural restraint within a society.
... Owing to their increasing ownership of various digital devices as access points for SMPs (Abbasi et al., 2021;Kemp, 2022b) and their propensity to use SMPs for both academic and non-academic purposes, university students have made these platforms an inextricable part of their lives (Malik et al., 2020;Nti et al., 2022). However, this demographic cohort is also among the most vulnerable to experiencing SMP use's adverse effects (Swain and Pati, 2019), i.e., DoSM. Thus, we contend that for these students, RAP, as a DoSM experience, raises critical implications for their future lives and the sustainable functioning of society itself (Sheldon et al., 2019;Tandon et al., 2020). ...
Research indicates that social media platform (SMP) use may adversely influence university students' academic performance (AP)—a phenomenon broadly known as the dark side of social media (DoSM). Our study applies the Situation-Organism-Behaviour-Consequence (S-O-B-C) framework to explicate pathways through which situational triggers (loneliness and self-presentation) lead to students' experience of cognitive (information and communication) overload, addiction (SMA), and consequentially, reduced academic performance (RAP). Methodologically, we deploy a mixed-methods approach comprising three studies—a qualitative study (Study A, n = 48) and two quantitative, cross-sectional studies in India (Study B: n = 479, Study C: n = 618)—through convenience sampling to develop and test a conceptual model through PLS-SEM. Our results provide evidence that loneliness and students' self-presentation significantly influence overload and SMA, which strongly influence RAP. Additionally, a partial moderating effect of demotivation due to social comparison was found in Study C, lending nuanced insight into the effects of personal tendencies on students' SMP use. Our study is limited to an emerging country context, but the results raise practical implications for students across the globe. In addition, our study suggests that future scholars should further investigate the personal and situational factors that can affect students' DoSM experiences like cognitive overload.
... According to some researchers, the more time expended on social media, the more likely one is going to suffer from mental health issues (Cain, 2018), this is especially true in children and teens, even as prolonged and excessive use presents dangers that have become more evident in adults as well. More so, a 2018 British study tied social media use to decreased, disrupted, and delayed sleep, which is associated with depression, memory loss, and poor academic performance (Kumar & Pati, 2021). Social media use can affect users' physical health even more directly. ...
Against the background of the contention that social media use could have negative effect and impact on the mental health of users, arising from addictive and prolonged usage, this paper focuses on the reported heightened negative impact experienced by teenage girls as compared to teenage boys. It explores the possible contribution of the patriarchal socialisation of girls into acceptance of objectification and self objectification, making them more susceptible to interest in body presentation and beauty, and this likely opening them up to more engagement than boys on such issues on social media. The implication, as the paper argues, is the need to factor in the continuing importance of patriarchy and its manifestation of objectification and self objectification in the lives of women and girls as critical to understanding, explaining and addressing the heightened negative impact of social media use on the mental health of girls vis-a-vis boys.

... It has been suggested by Pekkala and van Zoonen (2022) that the feeling of exposure and intrusion is the root cause of privacy concerns. Organizational learning information security, which includes policies and processes an organization implements to secure data and information exchange while maintaining copyrights, is increasingly being adopted by businesses (Kumar Swain & Pati, 2021;Samad et al., 2019). Fear of privacy invasion, perceived unease with pivotal ideas, and data mishandling is all factors that can negatively impact employee performance and social media use. ...

The research aims are to establish its social exchange theory and social cognitive theory and to learn more about the connections between organizational learning, privacy worries, innovation capacity, and the mediating role of social networking sites used by Grab and Careem in Pakistan. Three hundred people were used to analyze the results of a physical questionnaire. Personality traits positively affect the innovative performance of Grab and Careem employees, as shown by structural equation modeling (SEM) results. The results also showed that social media sites acted as a positive mediator between organizational learning, privacy worries, innovation skills, and creative output. Important data for administration, travel planners, and politicians can be gleaned from this study's novel findings, which are supported by established theories like social exchange and cognition theories. In the future, researchers may devote more time to examining how people's ability to think creatively is affected by their surroundings. The most recent findings helped to establish clear standards by which future builders and designers of such sites can guide their work. There are numerous suggested theoretical and practical implications, demands for additional research, and policy recommendations.

... Thus, adolescence is often proposed as a window of susceptibility to various types of media effects and behavioral addictions (Chambers et al., 2003;Crews et al., 2007). Previous studies manifest that adolescents are identified as more subject to the negative impact of excessive use of the SNS or other Internet-based services on mental illness, cognitive functions and academic attainment (Kumar Swain & Pati, 2021;van den Eijnden et al., 2018;Wang et al., 2020). ...
Despite the soaring popularity of short video applications (SVA) among adolescents worldwide, little is known about its potential impact on adolescent users. This study aimed to examine whether and how adolescents' user behaviors regarding SVA, including daily usage and reliance on algorithmic recommendations, predict their cognitive functioning and academic performance. A sample of Chinese adolescents from two age cohorts (Mage=12.25, SD=0.02, N=454; Mage=15.21, SD=0.02, N= 368) completed the survey on SVA user behavior and cognitive ability test regarding academic delay of gratification (ADOG), working memory and verbal ability. The findings reveal that daily usage of SVA is negatively correlated with users' ADOG and academic performance for both age cohorts. And the dependency on algorithmic personalization negatively predicts the working memory, verbal ability and academic performance of the younger cohort only. Also, their SVA daily usage negatively correlates with working memory and verbal ability, which both simultaneously mediate between their user behavior and poorer academic performance. Considering the age differences in SVA-related effects, the study further points out the higher susceptibility of younger adolescents to SVA use compared to their older counterparts, which should be noted by students, parents, educators and researchers to prevent the potentially negative impact. 2

... Addictive social media use is a potential risk factor for insomnia in adolescents (56), which is significantly and positively associated with insomnia (77) and is more likely to occur in females than in males (78). Longitudinal studies found frequent social media use to be a significant influence on adolescents' poor sleep (43), and screen media contributed to late nights and reduced sleep duration (79,80). The longer the time spent in bed using social media, the more likely insomnia, anxiety, and short sleep duration were experienced on weekday nights (81). ...
The COVID-19 pandemic substantially increased the intensity of internet use in humans, which has made public opinion around health and public perceptions of it more vital, and this phenomenon has had a significant impact on human lifestyle behavior. This study used cross-sectional data during the COVID-19 pandemic to explore how internet use intensity influenced lifestyle behaviors among adults, and compared the differences between samples of different ages. The findings showed that the internet use intensity among adults increased the probability of physical activity, staying up late, and high-quality eating behaviors, and that they had a statistically significant positive association. Such associations were also found in independent younger, middle-aged, and older samples. However, the internet use intensity elevated the probability of body weight gain only in the independent samples of younger, middle-aged, and older adults. Besides, internet use intensity was able to increase the probability of smoking & drinking only among the younger sample. Notably, the effect of internet use intensity on lifestyle behaviors, including body weight gain, physical activity, staying up late, and a high-quality diet, was strongest among the elderly, followed by the middle-aged, and weakest among the younger. In the process of rural and urban governance regarding citizens' health, public health agencies should remind citizens to spend a reasonable amount of time on internet use to reduce the probability of unhealthy lifestyle behaviors and improve their physical health.
