It is difficult to grasp AI’s influence, because AI represents a general-purpose technology, which can be applied in different settings. One product in which AI plays a pivotal role is social media. In this context, for instance, AI is used to provide people with personalized newsfeeds to prolong time spent online, which might result in addictive-like behavior. Many factors such as sociodemographic variables, history of psychopathology and personality traits have been revealed as risk factors for developing problematic social media use patterns. Yet, to our knowledge attitudes toward AI have not been examined in association with problematic social media use. In a sample of n = 956 social media users, we observed that positive AI attitudes were linked to overuse of social media as assessed with an addiction framework. The effect size of this association was stronger for males than females. Further we observed that this association was mediated by time spent on social media. The present study shows that positive AI attitudes – although well-known to be positive regarding embracing new technologies – might come with risks for developing addictive patterns of technology use, such as social media.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":38040,"journal":{"name":"Addictive Behaviors Reports","volume":"22 ","pages":"Article 100613"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144190188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CSB disorder (CSBD) is a condition whose diagnostic criteria were only recently defined by the World Health Organization. Multiple primary and secondary outcomes have been used in treatment trials of CSB, and possible neuropsychological measures have been considered. We suggest including clinical interviews, specifying the nature of the problem behavior and ensuring that the concerns are not entirely related to distress linked to moral judgments or paraphilic interests exclusively. The minimum requirements of reporting the efficacy of behavioral and pharmaceutical treatment outcome studies proposed are measures of: <em>CSB symptom severity</em> – problems in personal health, relationships, work and finance; these measures may be complemented by additional measures of quality of life or sexual health; <em>behavioral engagement in CSB −</em> frequency (in days per week) of CSB, including time spent thinking about or engaged in the pursuit of CSB<em>; change processes</em> – assessing mechanisms of change hypothesized. There are currently no objective (i.e., neuropsychological) measures that can provide a valid picture of the success of therapies. However, promising areas in the brain which reflect treatment changes include prefrontal areas and the reward system. We believe that the guidelines presented should promote harmonized clinical research involving the treatment of CSB and CSBD.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":38040,"journal":{"name":"Addictive Behaviors Reports","volume":"21 ","pages":"Article 100610"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143868899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, no prior research has examined the interplay between trait FoMO, state FoMO, the moderating role of loneliness, and their combined influence on PSMU within a unified model. The present study addressed this gap by testing a moderated-mediation model to investigate how trait FoMO, state FoMO, and loneliness jointly impact PSMU. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted with 356 participants (55.6 % female; <em>M</em>_age = 21.7 years, <em>SD_age</em> = 3.55) who completed the Trait-FoMO Scale, State-FoMO Scale, UCLA Loneliness Scale (Short Version), and the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale. The results showed that females scored higher for PSMU than males, while age had no significant effect. Moderated-mediation analyses indicated that both trait-FoMO and state-FoMO were positively associated with PSMU. Moreover, state-FoMO partially mediated the relationship between trait-FoMO and PSMU, with loneliness moderating this pathway. More specifically, the association between trait-FoMO and state-FoMO was weaker at higher levels of loneliness but stronger when loneliness levels were low. These findings highlight FoMO as a major risk factor for PSMU, as well as emphasizing the importance of addressing loneliness in prevention and intervention efforts. This integrated model provides valuable insights for designing targeted strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of FoMO and loneliness on social media use.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":38040,"journal":{"name":"Addictive Behaviors Reports","volume":"21 ","pages":"Article 100612"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143852052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
