Problematic social media use and inhibitory control among post-secondary students

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Our results suggest that aspects of impaired inhibitory control-namely, cognitive instability and attentional impulsivity-are present in problematic social media use. Understanding the interplay between features of addiction and the unique context of online socialization, such as negative social comparison, is central to defining problematic social media use as a potential behavioral addiction.
