Mobile social media offer a large number of experiences
from a psychological viewpoint, each with powerful features
that can lead to problem behavior. For example, the extrovert
might spend much time on Facebook, compulsively checking
their profile to see the number of 'likes' their latest post received.
For others, with a narcissistic inclination, Instagram may prove
to be an addictive medium for them to display themselves to
others with 'selfies.' Social anxiety can also fuel social media
addiction. The fear of missing out (FOMO) can be the main
reason for frequent social media use regardless of time of day at
the expense of other activities (Przybylski et al.., 2013).
