Meshi and his colleagues found a direct correlation between how badly the participants did in the task of how excessively they used social media. The worse people performed by choosing from bad decks, the more excessive their social media use. The better individuals did in the task, the less their social media use. These results demonstrate that more severe social media use is associated with worse decision-making skills and, particularly, more risky decision making. People who abuse drugs like opioids, cocaine, and meth, also have similar outcomes on the Iowa Gambling Task as those addicted to social media, showing that both addictions cause the same deficiency in decision making.
