On the SMD scale I had just recently scored a scored a 7/9. I use social media to help me form new ideas whether it’s for clothing, networking with new people, and looking up useful things to do. When I don’t use social media I’d take a break from it just for mental health purposes. The items on the scale can all correlate to at least one person. I think the different patterns are found across the world because the usage of social media varies between different countries. Some countries are not that advanced in technology and have access to social media while other countries do.
