On this, I believe I scored a 100 on this quiz because most of the answers For me no, because when I use social media, nothing negative happens. The items on the scale reveal how social media negatively affects friendships and relationships because some people can not live without being on social media. I think different patterns are found worldwide because of the different time zones and other governments making people pay for social media. Everyone in different countries uses social media differently because some governments don’t allow social media in countries without spending money you can not go on social media for free like how it is in America.
