Associations of social network use and social network addictive behaviors with self-esteem in adolescents: the EHDLA study
SN use and SN addictive behaviors could significantly affect adolescent's self-esteem. The findings suggest that the use of Twitter and certain addictive behaviors, such as tolerance, salience, mood modification, relapse, withdrawal, or conflict are particularly linked to lower self-esteem. These results highlight the need to develop strategies aimed at promoting healthy engagement with SN platforms and fostering adolescent's psychological well-being.
