I added the section on scales and measures.
Problematic Social Media Use has been a concern for over a decade. There have been several scales developed and validated that help to understand the issues regarding problematic social media use. One of the first scales was an eight-item scale that was used for Facebook use.[1] The Facebook Intensity Scale (FBI) was used multiple times and showed good reliability and validity. This scale only covered three areas of social media engagement, which left the scale lacking. Although the FBI was a good measure it lacked the needed component of purpose of use. The Multi-dimensional Facebook Intensity Scale (MFIS) investigated different dimensions of use that include overuse and reasons for use.[2] The MFIS is comprised of 13-items and has been used on several samples. The MFIS also had good reliability and validity, but the scale was directed toward the use of Facebook, and social media is far more than just one platform. The Social Networking Activity Intensity Scale (SNAIS) was created to look at the frequency of use of several platforms and investigated three facets of engagement with a 14-item survey. This scale looked at the purposes of use both entertainment and social function, and the scale as a whole had acceptable reliability and validity.[3] The Social Media Disorder Scale (SMD) is a nine-item scale that was created to investigate addiction to social media and get to the heart of the issue.[4] This scale has been used in conjunction with multiple scales and does measure social media addiction. The SMD has been tested and good reliability and validity. This tool can be used by itself or in conjunction with other measures for future research and appears to be a reliable scale. There are many other scales that have been created, however there is not one single scale that is being used by all researchers.[5][6]
The thing I will be working on in article "Problematic Social Media Use", is a section on Measurements and I will be reviewing the rest of the article.
There are many different scales that have been created to look at social media use disorders and risk assessment tools for addiction. It is extremely important to list tools, scales, studies that will validate the fact that this is a real problem. I want to place different tools and scales on this site to help the general public and academic colleagues to assess and predict addiction risks. it is also important to understand the causes and effects of over use that leads to abuse. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amsberry37 (talk • contribs) 22:56, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
I have been correcting the article by myself. I am planning on adding the section to wikipedia with scales that are used for measuring social media addiction. I should be done writing this section before next week. I have about 3/4 of it written already. I am going to try and create links to the original scales.
