I scored a three out of nine on the Social Media Disorder Scale.  The items in the scale probably most Americans based on their general consumption of social media will have at least two or more, but not necessarily enough items to consider it a true disorder.  Cultures heavily influences what is considered acceptable as far as social media use.  Cultures that don’t have as much technology such as remote or underserved, impoverished areas, of course social media addiction would be less likely due to lack of access.  Other cultures that value for example competition or academic superiority would naturally foster a distaste for the use of anything that draws someone away from their studies, therefore also reducing the likelihood for addiction to social media.
