Sociodemographics, health-related behaviors, social media use, perceived social support (including family, friends, and significant others), and anxiety symptoms were assessed. Linear regression models were used to examine the associations and interactions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Of the sample, 21.4% exhibited SMA symptoms.

SMA was associated with higher anxiety scores (adjusted coefficient [aB]\u2009=\u20092.02, 95% confidence interval (CI)\u2009=\u20091.35, 2.70;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p\u2009&lt;\u2009<\/jats:italic>\n                      .001). Social support was associated with lower anxiety scores (aB\u2009=\u2009\u22120.06, 95% CI\u2009=\u2009\u22120.08, \u22120.04;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p\u2009&lt;\u2009<\/jats:italic>\n                      .001). Among individuals with SMA, higher overall social support (aB\u2009=\u2009\u22120.05, 95% CI\u2009=\u2009\u22120.10, \u22120.01;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p\u2009=\u2009<\/jats:italic>\n                      .033), family support (aB\u2009=\u2009\u22120.14, 95% CI\u2009=\u2009\u22120.26 to \u22120.02;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p\u2009=\u2009<\/jats:italic>\n                      .025), and support from significant others (aB\u2009=\u2009\u22120.13, 95% CI\u2009=\u2009\u22120.25, \u22120.01;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p\u2009=\u2009<\/jats:italic>\n                      .047) were each associated with lower severity of anxiety symptoms. Conclusions: Overall social support, particularly support from family and significant others, is associated with reduced anxiety symptom levels and serves as a moderating factor in mitigating the adverse effects of social media addiction on anxiety symptom severity. Social support plays an important role in protecting young adults\u2019 mental health from social media use.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/20552076251393393","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,31]],"date-time":"2025-10-31T18:19:33Z","timestamp":1761934773000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Impact of social media addiction on anxiety symptoms as modified by social support and its subscales"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2858-950X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chuan-Rong","family":"Yeh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Master Program of Teaching Profession, National Taichung University of Education, Taichung"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0070-3614","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Han T.","family":"Vo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Taipei Medical University"},{"name":"University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Hue University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9315-2190","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cheng-Yu","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shih Hsin University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1007-097X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chih-Feng","family":"Lai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Taichung University of Education"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-9481-3680","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tru C.","family":"Tran Le","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Education and Skills Training Center, Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Can Tho, Vietnam"},{"name":"Graduate Program in Health and Sustainable Development, Mahidol University, Nakhon Pathom, Thailand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3707-1166","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shwu-Huey","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Taipei Medical University"},{"name":"Taipei Medical University"},{"name":"Taipei Medical University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3610-9580","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jane C.-J.","family":"Chao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Taipei Medical University"},{"name":"Taipei Medical University"},{"name":"Taipei Medical University"},{"name":"Taipei Medical University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1274-574X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pei-Shan","family":"Tsai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Taipei Medical University"},{"name":"Taipei Medical University"},{"name":"Taipei Medical University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2287-0723","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tuyen Van","family":"Duong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Taipei Medical University"},{"name":"Taipei Medical University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/20563051221130292"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s40359-024-01705-w"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","unstructured":"Dixon SJ.
