A brief measure of social media self-control failure
作者：
Highlights：
• People frequently fail in resisting temptations to use social media.
• We constructed a short (3-item) scale to assess social media self-control failure (SMSCF).
• A two-wave survey shows that the SMSCF-scale has good reliability.
• The SMSCF-scale can be distinguished from other scales assessing problematic social media use.
• The SMSCF-scale is a useful indicator of everyday social media self-control failure.
