    Possible Classifications of Social Network Addiction: A Latent Profile Analysis of Chinese College Students

    Lin Luo1,2,*, Junfeng Yuan1, Yanling Wang1, Rui Zhu1, Huilin Xu1, Siyuan Bi1, Zhongge Zhang1

    International Journal of Mental Health Promotion, Vol.27, No.6, pp. 863-876, 2025, DOI:10.32604/ijmhp.2025.064385 - 30 June 2025

    Abstract Objectives: Social Network Addiction (SNA) is becoming increasingly prevalent among college students; however, there remains a lack of consensus regarding the measurement tools and their optimal cutoff score. This study aims to validate the 21-item Social Network Addiction Scale-Chinese (SNAS-C) in its Chinese version and to determine its optimal cutoff score for identifying potential SNA cases within the college student population. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted, recruiting 3387 college students. Latent profile analysis (LPA) and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were employed to establish the optimal cutoff score for the validated 21-item SNAS-C. Results:More >

    The Social Networking Addiction Scale: Translation and Validation Study among Chinese College Students

    Siyuan Bi1, Junfeng Yuan1,2, Lin Luo1,2,3,*

    International Journal of Mental Health Promotion, Vol.26, No.1, pp. 51-60, 2024, DOI:10.32604/ijmhp.2023.041614 - 05 February 2024

    Abstract Purpose: The core component theory of addiction behavior provides a multidimensional theoretical model for measuring social networking addiction. Based on this theoretical model, the Social Networking Addiction Scale (SNAS) was developed. The aim of this study was to test the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the SNAS (SNAS-C). Methods: This study used a sample of 3383 Chinese university students to conduct confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to explore the structural validity of the SNAS-C. This study examined the Pearson correlations between the six subscales of the SNAS-C (i.e., salience, mood modification, tolerance, withdrawal symptoms,… More >
