When taking the Social Media Disorder Scale I found myself answering yes to a lot of the questions making me think about how addicted I am to social media. This was very surprising to me as I didn’t see myself as someone who was extremely addicted to social media. To be diagnosed as a disorder social media user was very crazy to me. I think the items on the scale are very straightforward and have definitely been worded and shown the symptoms of social media addiction very directly. I think that different patterns are found across the world as different countries use different apps and social media. For instance, my family in Taiwan primarily uses the social media Facebook and Line. In the US it is widespread for my generation to use Instagram and Snapchat.
