In this study, adolescents’ excessive use of technology (EUT) and social media disorder (SMD) levels were examined using variables such as gender, age, academic achievement, mental illness, perceived social support, family belonging, school belonging, self-control, and social problem-solving skills, which are thought to predict technology use in adolescents. Two structural equation models were established with the variables. The study was conducted with high school students, and a total of 1971 high school students from 12 provinces of Turkey participated. Excessive use of technology was found to be positively correlated with age and impulsive and avoidant problem solving, and negatively correlated with family belonging, school belonging, self-control, and perceived support from the family. Social media disorder was found to be positively correlated with impulsive and avoidant problem solving and negatively correlated with family belonging, school belonging, self-control, and perceived social support from family and friends.This study suggest that self-control plays a critical role in use of technology and social media. Therefore, interventions and future research need to further examine adolescents’ development of self-control skills, family relationships, and problem solving styles.

在这项研究中，使用性别、年龄、学业成绩、精神疾病、感知到的社会支持、家庭归属感、学校归属感、自我控制和社会问题解决技能等变量来检查青少年过度使用技术 （EUT） 和社交媒体障碍 （SMD） 水平，这些变量被认为可以预测青少年的技术使用。用变量建立了两个结构方程模型。该研究是在高中生中进行的，共有来自土耳其 1971 个省的 12 名高中生参与。研究发现，过度使用技术与年龄、冲动和回避解决问题呈正相关，与家庭归属感、学校归属感、自我控制和感知到的家庭支持呈负相关。研究发现，社交媒体障碍与冲动和回避解决问题呈正相关，与家庭归属感、学校归属感、自我控制以及来自家人和朋友的感知社会支持呈负相关。这项研究表明，自我控制在使用技术和社交媒体中起着关键作用。因此，干预措施和未来的研究需要进一步检查青少年的自我控制技能、家庭关系和解决问题方式的发展。
