Can Age, Loneliness and Self-Esteem predict Social Media Addiction?

02 April 2025

As part of the module “Psychological Research Methods and Statistics 2” I am working on a research paper on “Age, Loneliness and Self-Esteem as Predictive Factors of Social Media Addiction in Adults” and I'm looking for people to participate in my research voluntarily.
The participation process is simple. You will need to read and fill in the information and consent forms, three short questionnaires and a debriefing form on “Google Forms”.
Thank you for your participation.
