Use of Network Psychometrics Approach toExamine Social Media Disorder Symptoms

Öz:
The symptoms of behavioral addiction are generally regarded as a consequence of a latent construct. However, network psychometrics enable conceptualizing them as directly interacting with variables in a networkof symptoms. This study, we aimed to investigate symptoms of social media disorder within this framework.This is the first study performed using this novel in the field of behavioral addiction, and conceptualizing social media disorder in this manner helps the professionals in gaining new insights on the construct.The data were collected by applying the Short Social Media Disorder Scale to 727 university students andwere analyzed with qgraph and EstimateGroupNetwork packages in R program. Strength, closeness, andbetweenness centrality indices were used to evaluate the most important symptoms in the network. Thecentrality of the network model was further investigated with Zhang’s clustering coefficient and the smallworld Index was calculated. Finally, the estimated network structures were compared based on gender andage variables. According to the results, withdrawal and preoccupation were detected as the most importantsymptoms, whereas deception was less important. In addition, it was found that the estimated network hada small-world property. These findings were discussed in terms of their theoretical and practical significance.
