After completing the social media disorder scale out of the nine questions, I had answered yes to 4 of them. The questions to me I feel as though they are a little vague but, I believe they are effective in trying to figure out if someone has a social media disorder. I say this because the questions are basically trying to see if the person has an addiction to social media as well as trying to see what makes an individual turn to social media. There are different patterns of social media disorder because of how different countries have different laws and regulations for the use of the internet as well as social media.
