Abstract
Emerging adults completed original measures of Social Media Creeping, Catfishing, Gossiping, Social Media Pressure, and Positive Social Media Use, and widely-used measures of the Big Five and Dark Tetrad personality traits. Females scored higher on most social media use scales, and negative personality traits consistently predicted social media use.
