Week 9

I completed the social media disorder scale however I’m not sure how to find my score. The only question I said yes to was question number 8. “Often used social media to escape negative feelings.” So I suppose this may be a score of one out of nine. As far as the items in the scale I can’t say I agree that every item in it points to a social media disorder or condition. For instance I don’t think the question I answered yes to, is necessarily a bad thing. I think a lot of cultural perceptions change how we interact with social media. For instance beauty standards may change how we interact with social media.
