Journal Entry (Module 9) CYSE 201S

I scored very low on the Social Media Disorder Scale.

The Social Media Disorder Scale focuses on behaviors related to social media addiction.

1. Preoccupation
2. Withdrawal
3. Tolerance
4. Persistence
5. Escape
6. Problems
7. Deception
8. Displacement
9. Conflict

The scale doesn’t distinguish between occasional problematic use and a more severe social media disorder. The scale primarily focuses on negative consequences of social media use. Positive aspects like social connection or information access aren’t considered.
