Effects of Social Media Addiction on Physical Activity Level and Exercise Capacity in University Students

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Social Media Addiction

  Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale is a social media addiction scale, but social media has been defined as the use of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Therefore, BSMAS can be considered a SNA scale despite being called a social media addiction scale. BSMAS is an adaptation of Bergen Facebook addiction scale (BFAS). In BSMAS, the term "Facebook" has been replaced with "Social media" in all items of the scale. There is one item each for six components of behavioral addiction.Higher scores mean a social media addiction level is high.
