 Results: There is a relationship between the contingencies of self-worth domains and the level of social media addiction in university students, and that physical appearance and getting approval self-worth domains have a mediating effect in the relationship between the anxious/ambivalent attachment style and the level of social media addiction. The independent variable anxious/ambivalent attachment in domains of approval and physical appearance affects the dependent variable social media addiction level.
