The problematic use of social networking sites (SNSs) and its adverse consequences have become prevalent, yet little is known about the etiology of the problematic use of SNSs and academic performance. This study applied stress-strain-outcome (SSO) as the foundation of the model, and the proposed model was further refined using auxiliary theories such as dual-system theory. The statistical analyses of time-lagged data collected from 505 mobile SNS users imply that the excessive use of mobile SNSs causes a cognitive-emotional preoccupation and that cognitive-behavioral control in using SNSs weakens this relationship to overcome negative outcomes. Negative consequences diminish the academic performance of SNS users. This study contributed to research on the dark side of information system use by conceptualizing problematic use and explaining its drivers and consequences. This research provided important theoretical and practical implications. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
