Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the causal model of the relationship between attachment styles, personality traits, and leisure management with social media addiction in adolescent girls in District 7 of Tehran. The research method was correlational and a type of predictive study. The statistical population of this study consisted of all adolescent girls aged 15 to 18 in District 7 of Tehran in 1402-1403. The sample size of 306 people was selected using the Cochran formula by random sampling. The measurement tools in this study were the social media addiction questionnaires of Khajeh Ahmadi et al. (2016), Simpson's attachment styles (1990), Wang's leisure management (2019), and Costa and McCrae's five-factor personality scale (1985). Data analysis was performed using Pearson correlation and regression analysis. The findings showed that there is a significant relationship between the dimensions of attachment styles, personality traits, and leisure management with social media addiction in adolescent girls (P<0.05). Also, based on the findings, the variables of attachment styles, personality traits, and leisure management have a significant effect on the level of social media addiction, and the effect of the leisure management variable on social media addiction is greater. Accordingly, it is suggested that the results of the present study be used in designing educational treatment programs for adolescent Internet addiction and, by increasing awareness of the effects of attachment styles, personality traits, and leisure management skills, help adolescents reduce their undesirable effects and reduce their addictive use of virtual social media.
