摘要

This commentary regards the recent article by Ciudad-Fernández and colleagues (Journal of Behavioral Addictions, 14(3):1380–93) and examines the claim that salience/preoccupation and tolerance constitute peripheral criteria of problematic social media use and addictive disorder more generally. The methodology and findings of previous studies on which such reading is based are also discussed. Furthermore, the statistical analysis is extended to incorporate the testing of the optimal number of factors to extract for the two scales of problematic social media use (the 9-item Social Media Disorder Scale and the 6-item Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale). This commentary provides support for the one-factor solution of the scales, with the effect of discarding the two-factor solution tested in the original study, encouraging tailored research  testing the components model of addiction and other theoretical frameworks.
