Unlike existing measures, the PSPPQ focuses on specific, everyday social situations rather than abstract or emotionally charged concepts. It consists of six i…

Introduction: This study examined the relationship between time spent on social networking sites and specific depressive symptoms, addressing a gap in prior research that has primarily centered on problematic use (PSMU) rather than time-based engagement. Method: A symptom-level network approach was used with cross-sectional data from 1,018 university students in Poland (M age = 21.64; 75.4% women), who completed the PHQ-9 and a single-item measur…

Of particular significance is the emergence of “sin” as the central n…

Our analysis, b…
