Rezumat

The use of social networks is very widespread among teenagers and can become an addictive behavior for some of them. The specialized literature mentions that there are several barriers that make it difficult for adolescents with this type of addiction to access psychological services, i.e. irrational thinking style, difficulties in emotional regulation, failure to satisfy basic psychological needs and beliefs about psychological services are mentioned. Therefore, the current study aims to identify the particularities of this type of addiction on a sample of teenagers (N=1302, M=.46, SD=.49) - 703 girls (54%), 599 boys (46%), with age between 12 and 18 years (M = 15.01, SD = 1.97), and possible correlations with irrational beliefs, difficulties in emotional regulation strategies, basic psychological needs, and beliefs about psychological services. The results show that girls predominate at medium, high and very high dependence levels. This dependence has a strong positive correlation with the total score for irrational beliefs and difficulties in emotional regulation (subscales: Goals, Clarity, Non-acceptance, Impulse and Strategies), but has a strong negative correlation with the level of satisfaction of basic psychological needs (autonomy and competence) and tolerance of stigma associated with seeking psychological help from a specialist. The conclusion is that the adoption and use of a rational thinking style and more effective emotion regulation strategies, together with an approach that facilitates increasing the level of satisfaction of basic psychological needs, may have a role in the treatment of adolescents with social networks addiction.
