Upon completion of the Social Media Disorder Scale, I did not meet the requirements to be diagnosed as a disordered social media user. I only scored one out of nine. The one question I answered yest to is that I regularly neglect other activities in order to use social media. I think the questions on this scale are relatively broad and could very well lead to confusion to some people. Different patterns are found across the world because certain cultures utilize social media differently. Some cultures may value face to face communication more than others which can make a difference in social media usage.
