Based on my completion of the survey. I have only done one of the individual questions asked. A few times I would go on social media to distract myself from situations that were either awkward or which made me feel uncomfortable. I believe that the items in the scale are efficient in determining the underlying issues regarding the use of social media. I believe that different patterns across the world are found because of different cultural morals. Cultural morals influence opinions and lifestyles about the feelings and usage of social media.
