Despite their increasing ubiquity in people's lives and incredible advantages in instantly interacting with others, social media's impact on subjective well-being is a source of concern worldwide and calls for up-to-date investigations of the role social media plays in mental health. Much research has discovered how habitual social media use may lead to addiction and negatively affect adolescents' school performance, social behavior, and interpersonal relationships. The present study was conducted to review the extant literature in the domain of social media and analyze global research productivity during 2013-2022. Bibliometric analysis was conducted on 501 articles that were extracted from the Scopus database using the keywords social media addiction and problematic social media use. The data were then uploaded to VOSviewer software to analyze citations, co-citations, and keyword co-occurrences. Volume, growth trajectory, geographic distribution of the literature, influential authors, intellectual structure of the literature, and the most prolific publishing sources were analyzed. The bibliometric analysis presented in this paper shows that the US, the UK, and Turkey accounted for 47% of the publications in this field. Most of the studies used quantitative methods in analyzing data and therefore aimed at testing relationships between variables. In addition, the findings in this study show that most analysis were cross-sectional. Studies were performed on undergraduate students between the ages of 19-25 on the use of two social media platforms: Facebook and Instagram. Limitations as well as research directions for future studies are also discussed.
尽管社交媒体在人们生活中越来越普遍，且在与他人即时互动方面具有惊人优势，但它对主观幸福感的影响在全球范围内引发了关注，需要对社交媒体在心理健康中所起的作用进行最新调查。许多研究发现，习惯性使用社交媒体可能导致成瘾，并对青少年的学业成绩、社交行为和人际关系产生负面影响。本研究旨在回顾社交媒体领域的现有文献，并分析2013年至2022年期间的全球研究生产力。对从Scopus数据库中提取的501篇文章进行了文献计量分析，这些文章使用了“社交媒体成瘾”和“问题性社交媒体使用”作为关键词。然后将数据上传到VOSviewer软件中，以分析引用、共被引和关键词共现情况。分析了文献的数量、增长轨迹、地理分布、有影响力的作者、文献的知识结构以及最多产的出版来源。本文呈现的文献计量分析表明，美国、英国和土耳其占该领域出版物的47%。大多数研究在分析数据时使用定量方法，因此旨在检验变量之间的关系。此外，本研究结果表明，大多数分析是横断面研究。研究针对19至25岁的本科生在两个社交媒体平台（Facebook和Instagram）上的使用情况展开。还讨论了研究的局限性以及未来研究的方向。
