Abstract

The present study was designed to explore the relationship between social-networking site (SNS) addiction and implicit approach-avoidance behavior in response to SNS images. Participants with higher self-reported SNS addiction approached SNS images faster (r(42)=.468, p=.002) and had a relative approach bias for SNS images compared to neutral images (r(42)=.356, p=.021).
