Social media addiction has been found to be associated with a host of emotional, relational, health, and performance problems.
“Social media addiction has been found to be associated with a host of emotional, relational, health, and performance problems (e.g., Echeburua & de Corral, 2010; Kuss & Griffiths, 2011; Marino, Finos, Vieno, Lenzi, & Spada, 2017; Marino, Gini, Vieno, & Spada, 2018).”
From Social media addiction: Its impact, mediation, and intervention (2019) · cites this paper as Marino, Finos, Vieno, Lenzi, & Spada, 2017
Section 1.1 (page unavailable) describes problematic Facebook use as involving impairments in school, work, friendships, and romantic relationships, as well as distress and lower well-being. The Discussion (page unavailable) reports links with shame, depressive moods, and low life satisfaction. These passages support emotional, relational, and performance problems, but do not establish the broader claim about health problems beyond psychological well-being. (LLM, conf=0.83)

“…addiction or Problematic Facebook use (PFU) have not been recognized as a legitimate disorder yet; however, there is mounting evidence to support that Facebook use can become problematic, and take the form of a behavioural addiction (Kuss & Griffiths, 2011; Ryan, Reece, Chester, & Xenos, 2016).”

“Beyond the frequency and time spent on Facebook use in general, a recent study (Ryan et al., 2016) has suggested the need to deepen the analysis of the relation between different types of activities that users engage in (e.g., updating profiles, posting, texting, playing, etc.) and PFU, in order to…”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
