Research indicates that social media use can lead to addiction, fear of missing out, higher stress levels, anxiety, and experiencing symptoms typical of depression. The purpose of the present study was to conduct a Polish adaptation of the Social Media Escapism Scale and to assess its associations with fear of missing out, Facebook addiction, thought suppression, and the experience of stress, anxiety, and symptoms typical of depression. Two studies were conducted, the first adaptive and the second testing associations. The first study included 383 participants aged 18 to 63 (M = 23.51; SD = 5.7). To adapt the scale, the following were used: the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale, the fear of missing out Scale, and the demographic questionnaire. The second study included 417 participants aged 18 to 60 (M = 26.33; SD = 9.7). The study tested relationships using the same three scales used in the first study, and also Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale, and the White Bear Suppression Scale. The Polish version of the Social Media Escapism Scale revealed a univariate structure with strong internal consistency (α = .91). The adapted scale was associated with fear of missing out and Facebook addiction. In study 2, the structural equation modeling analyses revealed that fear of missing out, Facebook addiction and escapism were positively related to thought suppression and the experience of anxiety, stress, and depression symptoms. In addition, thought suppression partially mediated the relationship between harmful media use and anxiety, stress, and depression. Furthermore, the findings reveal a positive correlation between escapism and several psychological constructs, including fear of missing out, Facebook addiction, as well as aspects of depression and suppression, thereby lending support to the convergent validity of the adapted measure under investigation. The results can be used in psychological intervention and developing support and treatment programs for social network addiction.
研究表明，使用社交媒体会导致成瘾、错失恐惧症、更高的压力水平、焦虑以及出现抑郁的典型症状。本研究的目的是对社交媒体逃避量表进行波兰语改编，并评估其与错失恐惧症、脸书成瘾、思维抑制以及压力、焦虑和抑郁典型症状体验之间的关联。研究分两项进行，第一项是适应性研究，第二项是测试关联性研究。第一项研究包括383名年龄在18至63岁之间的参与者（M = 23.51；SD = 5.7）。为了改编该量表，使用了以下工具：卑尔根脸书成瘾量表、错失恐惧症量表和人口统计学问卷。第二项研究包括417名年龄在18至60岁之间的参与者（M = 26.33；SD = 9.7）。该研究使用了与第一项研究相同的三个量表来测试关系，此外还使用了抑郁、焦虑、压力量表和白熊抑制量表。波兰语版的社交媒体逃避量表显示出具有强内部一致性（α = 0.9）的单变量结构。改编后的量表与错失恐惧症和脸书成瘾有关。在研究2中，结构方程模型分析表明，错失恐惧症、脸书成瘾和逃避与思维抑制以及焦虑、压力和抑郁症状的体验呈正相关。此外，思维抑制部分中介了有害媒体使用与焦虑、压力和抑郁之间的关系。此外，研究结果揭示了逃避与几种心理构念之间的正相关，包括错失恐惧症、脸书成瘾以及抑郁和抑制的各个方面，从而支持了所研究的改编测量方法的收敛效度。这些结果可用于心理干预以及制定社交网络成瘾的支持和治疗方案。
