Previous research suggest that adolescents and young adults are likely to be susceptible to poor physical and emotional health outcomes due to problematic social media and internet use. Nevertheless, little research has focused on social contextual processes that may underscore the use of social media by this population. This study applied social and developmental theories to investigate the relationship between belongingness needs, ingroup identification, self-esteem, and problematic social media and internet use. A sample of 106 adolescents and young adults were recruited into a cross-sectional study. Demographics data of participants indicated 73 females, and 33 males with similar means ages respectively, females (21.1 yrs.) and males (21.4 yrs.). Ethnicity data reflects 87.7% Caucasian, 4.7% Asian, 2.8% African Canadian, 1 % Hispanic, and 1% First Nations. Participants completed measures of internet addiction, belongingness needs, ingroup identification and self-esteem. The findings showed problematic use of social media was significantly associated with lower self-esteem among adolescents and young adults; in addition, higher belongingness needs were significantly associated with negative health outcomes in the form of lower self-esteem. Regression analysis indicated the need to belong was a significant mediator of the relationship between problematic use of social media and negative self-esteem among adolescents and young adults. Despite some methodological limitations to the study, the findings provide empirical, theoretical, and practical implications that can be applied to future research endeavours, as well as clinical interventions to address the negative physical and psychological effects of problematic social media and internet use among adolescents and young adults.
