Facebook is an increasingly popular online social media platform for communication, entertainment, and information exchange. Previous studies have shown the relationship between problematic Facebook use (PFU) and mental health problems. Additionally, previous studies have reported associations between maladaptive cognitive schemas and mental health problems. However, little is known about their impact on problematic behavior associated with Facebook use. Consequently, the present study investigated the relationship between PFU and early maladaptive schemas (EMSs) among Facebook users. The study comprised 619 Facebook users (568 females; age range from 18 to 30 years; = 21.34, = 2.41 years). The severity of PFU was assessed using the Facebook Intrusion Scale, and EMS dimensions were assessed using the 90-item Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ-S3). The findings showed a positive relationship between PFU and EMSs, such as insufficient self-control/self-discipline and approval seeking. PFU was negatively associated with EMSs, such as social isolation/alienation and self-sacrifice schemas. Additionally, the findings showed that EMSs, as well as Facebook use characteristics, such as the time spent using Facebook per week, using Facebook apps, and number of friends on Facebook contributed to explaining the variance in PFU scores. These findings may contribute to a better understanding of mechanisms related to the development of PFU, which are associated with cognitive schemas. Additionally, the results may be useful in developing more effective methods of prevention and treatment of this problematic behavior.
脸书是一个越来越受欢迎的在线社交媒体平台，用于交流、娱乐和信息交换。先前的研究已经表明了问题性脸书使用（PFU）与心理健康问题之间的关系。此外，先前的研究报告了适应不良的认知模式与心理健康问题之间的关联。然而，对于它们对与脸书使用相关的问题行为的影响却知之甚少。因此，本研究调查了脸书用户中PFU与早期适应不良模式（EMSs）之间的关系。该研究包括619名脸书用户（568名女性；年龄范围为18至30岁；平均年龄 = 21.34岁，标准差 = 2.41岁）。使用脸书侵入量表评估PFU的严重程度，并使用90项青年模式问卷（YSQ-S3）评估EMS维度。研究结果显示PFU与EMSs之间存在正相关关系，例如自我控制/自律不足和寻求认可。PFU与EMSs呈负相关，例如社交孤立/疏离和自我牺牲模式。此外，研究结果表明，EMSs以及脸书使用特征，如每周使用脸书的时间、使用脸书应用程序以及脸书上的朋友数量，都有助于解释PFU得分的差异。这些发现可能有助于更好地理解与PFU发展相关的机制，这些机制与认知模式有关。此外，这些结果可能有助于开发更有效的预防和治疗这种问题行为的方法。
