INTRODUCTION
ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) is a common neurodevelopmental and
behavioral disorder that emerges in early childhood and often impacts adulthood. It is
known for a short attention span, which contributes to having trouble focusing on complex,
time-consuming tasks due to becoming easily distracted. Another feature of ADHD is
impulsivity, which results in a tendency to choose immediate rewards over long-term
rewards, even if they are more beneficial. One example of such an immediate reward
could be the use of social media. Firstly, due to a prompt and low-effort opportunity to
fulfill social and informative needs while also providing entertainment. Secondly, because
of a very easy full-time smartphone access.
AIM
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between ADHD and social media addiction
risk.
METHODS AND MATERIALS
The study was conducted on a sample of 1,081 high-school students (666 females; 61.6%)
with a mean age of 16.96 (SD = .82) years. Relationships between ADHD symptoms,
gender, and problematic social media use were examined. Participants filled-in Adult
ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) and Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS).
DISCUSSION
The results of hierarchical regression analysis showed that both ADHD components
(inattention and hyperactivity) were positively associated with problematic social media
use, with inattention exhibiting a stronger link. Also, females showed a higher risk of social
media addiction.
CONCLUSION
These findings imply that ADHD contributes to a higher risk of social media addiction
development, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions to mitigate potential
negative consequences.

The role of Intolerance of Uncertainty in Disordered Eating Behaviours: A literature review.


Wygłosiła: Lila Rudaś
Na: 30. ISSC w Gdańsku


Streszczenie:

INTRODUCTION
Eating disorder behaviors are sometimes adopted as a way to directly cope with uncertainty, with restriction providing a sense of security or predictability. (Sternheim et al. 2011b).
AIM
The aim of this literature review is to examine the role of Intolerance of uncertainty in Disordered Eating Behaviours, focusing on scientific research from 2015 to present.
METHODS AND MATERIALS
A total of 35 scientific articles were reviewed from the following databases: PubMed, Google Scholar and EBSCO.
DISCUSSION
Clinical and epidemiological research consistently shows that anxiety disorders frequently co-occur at higher rates in individuals with eating disorders. (Godier & Park, 2014; Kaye, Bulik, Thornton, Barbarich, & Masters, 2004). Intolerance of uncertainty (IU) is a transdiagnostic process contributing to the maintenance of anxiety disorders (Alice Kesby, Sarah Maguire, Lenny R Vartanian, Jessica R. Grisham 2017). In a study conducted by Sterheim et al in 2011b, participants reported that experiencing uncertainty often led to feeling ‘out of control’ and resulted in efforts to maximise certainty through activities aimed to reduce the negative feelings.
CONCLUSION
Exploring the role of Intolerance of Uncertainty in disordered eating is to this day crucial for understanding its impact on the development and maintenance of Disordered Eating Behaviours. Reviewing existing research helps identify gaps, inform better interventions, and improve early detection, leading to more effective treatment outcomes.
