My social media disorder score was 0. I think the items on the scale are relevant and can help people identify if they have a problem, but only if they are honest with themselves because people can lie to themselves, refuse to see the problem, and not change. I believe different patterns are seen worldwide because of location and access to technology or the internet. Some places cannot get internet, and some areas are in poverty, unable to access social media, or it makes it hard for people to become addicted to something they cannot access. Also, in areas where many people can access it, the numbers can vary depending on situations, how people were raised or what beliefs they may have. So, patterns around the world can be very different when it comes to social media.
