Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of SNS addiction tendency, pathological narcissism, social support, and stress among university students. Data were collected via questionnaires from 385 students and were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and Stepwise multiple regression analysis using SPSS/WIN 19.0 program. The levels of SNS addiction tendency depended on gender, SNS usage time, SNS over-usage, health problem, and household economic status. SNS addiction tendency was significantly correlated with pathological narcissism, social support, and stress. Influential factors that affect SNS addiction tendency were pathological narcissism, SNS usage time, SNS over-usage, gender, social support, and academic performance, which explained about 39.4% of the variance. The results of this study indicate that nursing interventions are necessary to improve SNS addiction tendency, and also suggesting that such variables should be carefully considered in intervention programs for university students.
