Abstract in brief

The study found that social norms and friends' social media use directly influence adolescents' problematic social media behaviors, with peer group norms shaping how often they use social media.
Difficulties in emotion regulation are linked to problematic social media use, both directly and through increased frequency and facilitation of emotions during social media activities.
The findings suggest that prevention efforts should focus on peer influences and emotion regulation strategies to reduce problematic social media use among adolescents.
