This study examines the complex associations among social media usage, engagement, addiction and subjective well-being. Employing a sophisticated framework that integrates both first- and second-order models, this study employs structural equation modeling (SEM) to analyze data from a sample of 510 Jordanian young people. The findings indicate a surprisingly positive correlation between social media usage and engagement and their effects on social media addiction and subjective well-being. Conversely, social media addiction is found to have a negative connection with subjective well-being. These insights are crucial for experts aiming to improve user experiences and increase well-being. This study contributes to the current literature by offering new perspectives on the dynamics between social media interactions and personal well-being.

This study explores the impact of social media platforms on enhancing social responsibility, employing a rigorous research framework based on the Uses and Gratifications Theory. We developed and tested a model to investigate how motivations for using social media influence social responsibility. A quantitative methodology was utilized, analyzing data from a sample of 520 participants using SmartPLS 4. The findings reveal various social media motivations—specifically information seeking, information sharing, self-status, social interaction, entertainment, being fashionable, and relaxation—significantly and positively impact social responsibility. The results underscore the constructive role of social media motivations in fostering social responsibility. They also suggest that further investigations into additional dimensions could provide deeper insights into how digital media might be leveraged to benefit society more broadly and enhance the concept of social responsibility. This study contributes to the expanding discourse on digital media's potential to effect positive societal change.
