Social media-related nightmare — a potential explanation for poor sleep quality and low affective well-being in the social media era
Research has posited that social media use during the day may be reflected in nighttime dreams. Nevertheless, no prior studies have explored frightening, unpleasant dreams arising from social media use. This study introduces the construct of the social media-related nightmare by (a) developing and validating a scale capturing negative-valenced dreams with themes of helplessness, loss of control, inhibition, victimization, and making mistakes in s…

“Give Your Thumb a Break” from Surfing Tragic Posts
Negativity bias predicts that individuals will attend to, learn from, and prioritize negative news more than positive news. Drawing from the addiction components model, this cross-sectional study conceptualized and measured “doomscrolling” as excessive thoughts, urges, or behaviors related to the consumption of negative news on social media platforms. Participants were a convenience sample (N = 747) of Iranian social media users. The 8-item, unid…
“Celebrities to lean on!” Perceived celebrity support across two cultures—Iran and the United States
Though many people loathe celebrities and their lifestyles, celebrities can also be perceived as being available to provide community support. The purpose of this study was to establish the psychometric properties of the Perceived Celebrity Support Inventory. The scale was developed to capture three aspects of perceived celebrity support to the community: instrumental (i.e., providing tangible and concrete assistance), informational (i.e., advice…
Pursuing virtual perfection
The present study examines the potential roles of perfectionism and reactions to failure in understanding gaming disorder. Specifically, we investigate whether parental perfectionism predisposes players to risk of gaming disorder through internalized perfectionism and maladaptive reactions to failure. Hungarian gamers (N = 2,097, 88.5% male, Mage = 26.2 years, SD = 6.8) completed an online survey measuring perfectionism (parental and self-oriente…
From Skepticism Toward Celebrities to Celebrity Culture Hate
Though efforts have been made to understand the concept of celebrity hatred, ambiguity still exists about why some people feel intense contempt, antagonism, and fear directed at celebrity culture. This study (N = 1175) aimed to reveal the indirect impact of skepticism toward celebrities on celebrity culture hate by introducing perceived celebrity deception (the perception that celebrities are deceptive) and dark triad traits of celebrities (the p…
Oversharing on Social Media
Oversharing on social media by adolescents is a considerable problem in the digital age, and has the potential to instigate online shaming, cyberbullying, identity theft, and other security risks. To date, oversharing has not been comprehensively studied and there is scarce understanding of the possible psychological conditions that may underlie this maladaptive online behavior. This study aimed to measure online oversharing and its potential psy…
Preference of Online Friends Over Face-To-Face Friends
The emergence of online social networking has increased development of exclusively online friendships. Individuals in online environments are willing to invest considerable time and effort to develop and maintain relationships as they would in other gathering spaces. In some cases, individuals find it preferable to make friends via the internet over more traditional means of relationship formation. The current study examines preference for online…

A total of 2097 Hungarian gamers (88.5% male, M age = 26.2 years, SD = 6.8) completed an online questionnaire. Most (66%) were victims of such incidents in the p…

The second goal was to examine additional psychometric data on the Twenty Item Values Inventory (TWIVI). We administered the TWIVI, the CAS, and demographic items to 200 students at a university in Iran, and 199 stude…
