Abstract: Purpose: To learn more about the association between social media use disorder and alexithymia among Lebanese people. Design/Methods: Four hundred fifty‐six residents participated in this cross‐sectional study which was carried out between January and December 2018. Findings: The results showed that 107 (23.7%) participants were classified as having social media use disorder. Higher social media use disorder score (β =.52), higher perceived stress (β =.35), and higher depression (β =.12) were significantly associated with more alexithymia. Practice Implications: Our results have shown that social media use disorder and being depressed and stressed were associated with higher levels of alexithymia. Psychologists/health practitioners can benefit from these findings in their future prevention and intervention plans. People who negatively utilize social media platforms can then be offered with appropriate counseling and coping mechanisms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
