Assessing the validity of self-report social media use: Evidence of No relationship with objective smartphone use

Tamsin Mahalingham et al.

Summary: Despite concerns about the accuracy of self-report measures, social media use research still heavily relies on them. The relationship between commonly used self-report measures and objective social media use is still not clear. This study aimed to determine the degree of association between objective and subjective measures of social media use. The results showed weak and insignificant correlation between objective measure and single-estimate measure, and a weak but significant correlation between objective measure and problematic social media use scale. These findings suggest that subjective and objective measurements of social media use may have little shared variance.
