While many studies have examined the relationship between problematic social media use (PSMU) and mental health disorders, little is known about reward responsiveness mechanisms that might be driving this relationship and the neurophysiological characteristics of PSMU. We surveyed 96 undergraduate students at a private liberal arts college in upstate NY. PSMU was assessed using the Social Media Disorder Scale. Fourteen Individuals endorsing in five or more and three or less categories on the Social Media Disorder Scale were offered and underwent resting state QEEG. Mental health was assessed with the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale Short Form, Social Interaction Anxiety Scale, Penn State Worry Questionnaire, the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale, and a locally developed measure of Substance Use Disorder. Reward and motivational systems were studied using the Brief Sensation Seeking Scale, Behavioral Inhibition/Behavioral Activation Scale, and Temporal Experience of Pleasure Scale. SMDS scores were associated with poorer mental health on all measures except substance use. SMDS scores were positively associated with the behavioral inhibition scale, and the anticipatory pleasure scale. QEEG results revealed a negative association of high PSMU and right central and frontal lobeta, right central beta, and a positive association with frontal alpha asymmetry. The study replicates findings that PSMU is associated with mental health issues. Further the pattern of reward response is different compared with other addictive behaviors. QEEG results are consistent with previous work in substance use and depression.
虽然许多研究都考察了社交媒体使用问题（PSMU）与心理健康障碍之间的关系，但对于可能导致这种关系的奖励反应机制以及 PSMU 的神经生理特征却知之甚少。我们调查了纽约州北部一所私立文科学院的 96 名本科生。使用社交媒体障碍量表评估 PSMU。在社交媒体障碍量表上，有 14 个人在五个或五个以上类别中表示赞同，而在三个或三个以下类别中表示赞同，他们被提供并接受了静息状态 QEEG。使用中心流行病学研究抑郁量表短表、社交互动焦虑量表、宾夕法尼亚州担忧问卷、10 项感知压力量表以及当地开发的物质使用障碍量表评估心理健康。使用简短的感觉寻求量表、行为抑制/行为激活量表和时间体验愉悦量表研究奖励和动机系统。SMDS 评分与所有除物质使用以外的衡量标准上的心理健康较差相关。SMDS 评分与行为抑制量表呈正相关，与预期愉悦量表呈正相关。QEEG 结果显示，高 PSMU 与右中央和额颞叶、右中央β以及额α不对称呈负相关。该研究复制了 PSMU 与心理健康问题相关的发现。此外，奖励反应模式与其他成瘾行为不同。QEEG 结果与先前在物质使用和抑郁方面的工作一致。
