- Abstract
- This study examined determinants of Facebook addiction in Korea. Using a cross-sectional survey study targeting Facebook users, we collected the data from 679 users. We proposed a model suggesting that Facebook addiction can be determined by three factors: (1) psychological factors such as loneliness and self-disclosure,(2) three motives for using Facebook, and (3) social factors including social support. The findings indicated that two including information and relationship were significant predictors of Facebook addiction. Social support also had a positive influence on Facebook addiction. It was found that Facebook addiction among Facebook users in Korea were associated with use motives and social supports. However, the findings revealed that Facebook use and psychological factors such as loneliness and self-disclosure were not significantly linked to Facebook addiction.
