Abstract

This study investigates how covert narcissism, self-presentational motivation, and sense of alienation are related to SNS addiction proneness. The participants were 302 male and female college students, whose ages ranged from 17 to 41. SNS addiction proneness is structured as attachment/withdrawal symptom, excessive communication/absorption, and excessive time consumption. Correlational analysis results indicated that covert narcissism was positively correlated to SNS addiction proneness, especially vulnerability of hypersensitivity and timidity/lack of confidence, as well as exploitation/self-centeredness were correlated to. In multiple regression analysis model, desire for self-acknowledgement or fantasy of self-grandeur was negatively related to SNS addiction proneness as being adjusted by other factors of covert narcissism. Feeling of sense of alienation was also positively correlated to SNS addiction proneness. Whereas, each four factors were independently significantly related to SNS addiction proneness, only helplessness and sense of loss in norms were significant predictors in multiple regression analysis model with four sub-factors of sense of alienation. In addition, their accountability was about 15.8%. Besides, self-presentational motivation was not significantly correlated to SNS addiction proneness. Based on these results, researchers suggested the discussion and information for further studies.
