To assess the relationship of smoking (cigarettes or waterpipe), alcohol drinking, alexithymia, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, stress, social phobia, emotional intelligence, impulsivity, insomnia, physical health, and loneliness with problematic social media use (PSMU) in a sample of Lebanese citizens.
This cross-sectional study enrolled 466 participants (January-May 2019).
Higher anxiety, alcohol use disorder, and social phobia were correlated with elevated PSMU, while older age was associated with lower PSMU. Emotional intelligence partially mediated the association between alexithymia and PSMU by 4.55%.
Since these manifestations are preventable, spreading awareness through our schools, educational programs, and even healthcare professionals would considerably reduce the pace at which young adults are transforming into anxious and distorted individuals.
评估吸烟（香烟或水烟）、饮酒、述情障碍、自尊、焦虑、抑郁、压力、社交恐惧症、情绪智力、冲动、失眠、身体健康和孤独感与黎巴嫩公民样本中社交媒体使用问题（PSMU）的关系。
这项横断面研究纳入了 466 名参与者（2019 年 1 月至 5 月）。
较高的焦虑、酒精使用障碍和社交恐惧症与较高的 PSMU 相关，而年龄较大与较低的 PSMU 相关。情绪智力部分通过 4.55%中介了述情障碍与 PSMU 之间的关联。
由于这些表现是可以预防的，通过我们的学校、教育计划甚至医疗保健专业人员进行宣传，可以大大降低年轻人转变为焦虑和扭曲个体的速度。
