Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS)
6-item screening for problematic social media use
6 questions about your relationship with social media, about 2 minutes.
Do you spend too much time on social media?
That feeling when you pick up your phone to check one thing, and suddenly 40 minutes have passed. The BSMAS asks 6 direct questions about your social media habits, based on the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale.
The questions cover six core signs: salience, tolerance, mood modification, relapse, withdrawal, and conflict.
Each item is rated on a frequency scale (1 = very rarely to 5 = very often). Higher total scores suggest more problematic use.
Important: This is a screening tool, not a clinical diagnosis.
