Some theories posit a close relationship between social anxiety and problematic social media use; however, empirical findings are inconsistent, and existing hypotheses are conflicting. Hence, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to clarify the relationship between social anxiety and problematic social media use. After searching and screening the literature, we identified 53 studies, including 59,928 participants and 56 effect sizes, for analysis. A meta-analysis was subsequently performed using CMA software. Results showed that social anxiety and problematic social media use were highly positively correlated. The moderating effect results suggested that the relationship between social anxiety and problematic social media use was influenced by the measurement instrument, sex, publication year, and platform type; however, the relationship was not moderated by region and age. It is suggested to consider social anxiety in the treatment of problematic social media use.
一些理论假设社交焦虑与社交媒体使用问题之间存在密切关系；然而，实证研究结果并不一致，现有的假设也存在冲突。因此，我们进行了系统的回顾和荟萃分析，以阐明社交焦虑与社交媒体使用问题之间的关系。在搜索和筛选文献后，我们确定了 53 项研究，包括 59928 名参与者和 56 个效应量，用于分析。随后使用 CMA 软件进行了荟萃分析。结果表明，社交焦虑和社交媒体使用问题之间存在高度正相关。调节效应结果表明，社交焦虑与社交媒体使用问题之间的关系受到测量工具、性别、发表年份和平台类型的影响；然而，这种关系不受地区和年龄的调节。建议在治疗社交媒体使用问题时考虑社交焦虑。
