Abstract: Background Social network sites (SNSs) have been defined as Web services that involve creating a private or semiprivate profile. Through these services, adolescents and adults can maintain and create new relationships. Adolescents, in particular, can be considered the main users of these sites as they spend a lot of time on SNSs. In using SNSs, individuals can exert greater control over the conversation and on the information shared, which is associated with a desire for self-presentation. Moreove… Show more

“…We observed that people who perceive themselves as extraverted, agreeable, and as having low levels of detachment prefer using SMSs to stay in touch with others and to seek information. These findings are in line with those of previous research (e.g., Horzum, 2016; Kircaburun et al., 2018; Mancinelli et al., 2019). On the other hand, users who use SMSs to pass time or search for companionship perceive themselves as having some maladaptive personality traits, such as high levels of antagonism, disinhibition, as well as low levels of consciousness.…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…Overall, these findings are consistent with the literature (Krasnova et al, 2017) and might be given by gender differences in the motivation for SNSs use, whereby women present an increased SNSs use as an attempt to satisfy their needs of belonging related to intimacy and closeness (Mancinelli et al, 2019). SNSmediated relationships and interactions allow individuals to seek social support yet at one's own pace, with the possibility to easily withdraw from them or to modulate the timing of the interaction.…”

“…No association was found with seeking company and with problematic internet use. This finding is consistent with previous studies where it was found that agreeable, extraverted individuals with low levels of isolation also had as their main motive for Internet use to stay in contact with others and seek information (e.g., Horzum, 2016;Kircaburun et al, 2018;Lupano Perugini & Castro Solano, 2021;Mancinelli et al, 2019). Moreover, this result aligns with the rich get richer hypothesis since previous empirical studies have shown that individuals who are agreeable and extraverted offline tend to be agreeable and extraverted in online contexts as well (Cheng et al, 2019;Gil de Zúñiga et al, 2017).…”
