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 0 on the scale which says I don’t show signs of addictive social media usage. The items on the scale seem to focus on how people feel or how it affects their behavior when they aren’t on social media. I think the questions are really useful since it shows how it can either be used for connections or it can be their source of stress in their life. I think there are different patterns across the world because not everyone can be on the internet as much as certain countries. For some jobs social media is a big part of it as for others social media could just be nothing for them as they have another way of interaction with the public if needed.
