Correlational and multiple regression analyses examined associations between PSMU severity, cognitive performance, age, and daily social media time of use. Moderation analyses examined sex differences.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      PSMU showed a positive correlation with Stroop reaction times (\n                      <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .65,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .05), indicating a positive relationship between attentional interference and PSMU scores. However, in regression models, greater daily social media time of use, rather than PSMU severity, was the only significant correlate of slower Stroop performance (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                      = .28,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .001).
