Latent profile analysis of mindfulness and experiential avoidance associated with social media use disorder.
Article in BMC psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThis study aimed to examine mindfulness and experiential avoidance as profile indicators associated with social media use disorder through an individual-centered approach. Therefore, we examined how mindfulness and experiential avoidance co-occur with social media use disorder within a theoretically informed framework.
methodsThe study data were obtained from 826 participants, 348 (42%) male and 478 (58%) female. The participants' ages varied from 18 to 25, with a mean age of 21.3 (df = 1.8). The associations between the variables were investigated using correlation analysis. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was used to find university student profiles.
resultsAs a result of the correlation analysis, mindfulness is negatively correlated with both social media disorder and experiential avoidance. Social media disorder is positively correlated experiential avoidance.
conclusionsThe four profiles obtained from LPA express the pattern in university students by examining social media use disorder, cognitive and emotional conscious awareness and experiential avoidance behavior together. Future research should examine whether this pattern can be observed among students in different developmental periods and education levels. The characteristics that differentiate individuals in the profiles from each other can be retested in similar samples using the repeatability feature of LPA.
