Social Media Addiction Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs
This brief self-report measure is designed to screen for problematic patterns of social networking site use that may be associated with functional impairment or distress. The Social Media Addiction Questionnaire can be used in clinical or research contexts to quantify the extent to which social media use is experienced as difficult to control and disruptive to daily activities.
The measure includes 15 items and typically requires about 3 minutes to complete. Item content focuses on common behavioral and cognitive features of excessive use (e.g., preoccupation, loss of control, and interference with responsibilities and relationships). Scores from the Social Media Addiction Questionnaire may support initial case formulation, guide discussion of digital behavior in assessment, and help monitor change over time; interpretation should be integrated with clinical interview and other relevant data.
