Mediated roles of generalized trust and perceived social support in the effects of problematic social media use on mental health: A cross‐sectional study

Current literature lacks evidence concerning how problematic social media use associates with mental health. To address the gap, the present study used mediation models to examine whether generalized trust and perceived social support (PSS) are potential mediators in the relationship between problematic social media use and mental health.
