Abstract in brief

  • ADHD is a common disorder that starts in childhood and can continue into adulthood, potentially affecting emotional regulation and leading to behaviors like social media addiction.
  • A study involving 96 young adults found that ADHD symptoms, particularly attention deficits and hyperactivity/impulsivity, are positively linked to social media addiction, with certain emotional regulation strategies playing a role.
  • Specifically, blaming others was identified as a significant factor that mediates the relationship between attention deficit symptoms and social media addiction, suggesting that improving coping strategies and self-awareness could benefit those with ADHD.
