The present study investigated the associations between PSNSU, dark triad personality traits, and emotion dysregulation. However, problematic SNS use (PSNSU) may be associated with negative personality traits. Social networking sites (SNSs) allow people to socially connect with each other, collaborate, and share information. Flow experience extends the original compensatory use approach and demonstrates the importance of incorporating techno-psychological predictors in understanding problematic SVAs use. The findings suggest that the aforementioned two approaches are complementary to each other in explicating problematic SVAs use, but the compensatory use approach explains more than the psychopathological approach does. Furthermore, a serial mediation effect of duration of use and flow experience was found. We also found that duration of use positively mediated the relationship between stress and problematic SVAs use. The results showed that stress was positively associated with problematic SVAs use. A total of 194 middle-aged adults from across the nation participated in an online survey. We aim to examine the relationship between stress and problematic SVAs use via the mediating roles of duration of use and flow experience. This study integrates the psychopathological approach and the compensatory use approach to explicate problematic SVAs use among middle-aged Chinese adults. Although a plethora of research has examined problematic smartphone use among teenagers and young adults, scarce attention has been paid to the middle-aged group. The pervasiveness of smartphones and the popularity of short-form video applications (SVAs), such as TikTok, among middle-aged Chinese adults have raised concerns about problematic SVAs use. Pediatricians should be aware of the risks associated to a problematic social media use for the young’s health and identify sentinel signs in children as well as prevent negative outcomes in accordance with the family. Public and medical awareness must rise over this topic and new prevention measures must be found, starting with health practitioners, caregivers, and websites/application developers. Other identified associated problems were sleep, addiction, anxiety, sex related issues, behavioral problems, body image, physical activity, online grooming, sight, headache, and dental caries. Out of them, 19 were dealing with depression, 15 with diet, and 15 with psychological problems, which appeared to be the most reported risk of social media use. Excluding articles not pertinent, we found 68 reports. The scoping review was performed according to PRISMA guidelines, searching on PubMed the terms “social media” or “social network”, “health”, and “pediatrics”. Aim of the review is to focus on risks correlated to social media use by children and adolescents, identifying spies of rising problems and engaging in preventive recommendations. However, we have to keep in mind that media usage may be related to some adverse consequences especially in the most vulnerable people, such as the young. During “lockdown”, the Internet usage allowed communication with peers and the continuity activities such as school teaching. Adolescents connected Internet alone, consulting social media, mostly Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. From the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic period, media device and Internet access rapidly increased. In recent years, social media has become part of our lives, even among children.
