Complete the Social Media Disorder scale. How did you score? What do you think about the items on the scale? Why do you think that different patterns are found across the world?
After completing the social media disorder scale, which asked me about my behavior and emotion toward social media disorder during the past year. I found I don’t have a high social media disorder scale score (only 2) which likely proves I don’t have social media disorder. However, it also has some questions from many questions “How often used social media to escape from negative feelings?” and “How regularly I felt dissatisfied because I wanted to spend more time on social media?” that I have s strong feeling about it. I think all items or questions on the scale are effective to use for measuring social media disorder in people because it is a contemporary question that can evaluate people’s behavior and emotions toward social media disorder. And if you ask me why we found the pattern of the score from this scale different across the world. I think it happens from the different cultures or environments that every people have across the world because culture can shape people’s view, idea, and norm that could affect the behavior and emotions of people on every topic, and the use of social media or social media disorder is one of the topics in the present day. Moreover, even though people are in the same area we also can find the different score patterns of social media disorders from their different cultures. So, it doesn’t strange if we can find this scoring pattern different across the world.
