Guided by the Interaction of Person\u2013Affect\u2013Cognition\u2013Execution (I-PACE) model, this study examined whether mental health symptoms (anxiety, depression, ADHD, post-traumatic stress symptoms, eating disorder symptoms) and social factors (bullying, help-seeking attitudes, stigma, social support) differentially predicted social media engagement and digital addiction.
