Chapter Chapter 3 in Social Media Addiction in Generation Z Consumers, 2023, pp 9-15 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter begins discussing the pathological Internet use, as a basis to understand how such behavior is similar to other type of addiction such as gambling, as they both are impulse control disorders. Further, the cognitive-behavioral model of pathological internet use (PIU) is presented and explained throughout its components. Particularly, the chapter explains that maladaptive cognitions, or false beliefs, also called irrational beliefs may ultimately be linked to problematic Internet use. Additionally, this chapter addresses the possible components or factors that may lead users do develop social media addiction, such as sleep disorders, length of use, anxiety or depression, family discomfort, unfavorable work or academic situation, and family problems. Finally, some outcomes or consequences of social media addiction are explored, which include depression, insomnia, anxiety and negatively associated with life satisfaction, well-being, and affected academic performance. The chapter concludes by offering a summary of the most important concepts in the literature review associated with social media addiction.
