Complete the Social Media Disorder scale. How did you score? What
do you think about the items in the scale? Why do you think that
different patterns are found across the world?

I scored a 2.0 on the Social Media Disorder scale. I use social media for times when I am bored and sometimes I wish to use it less, but I find myself wanting entertainment often. I can easily be distracted by activities, conversations, and other entertainment to get away from social media. I feel more people may have an Entertainment Disorder over Social Media; however, some people only care for social media over everything else, which could lead to others relating a lot to the items on the scale. In some parts of the world, people could be in a not-so-great location or situation in life where they use social media to escape. Or try to connect to people and places they have yet to see or can go to.
