Abstract
AbstractProblematic Facebook use (PFU) has drawn attention from both academics and the public recently. Given the negative consequences PFU may have and the popularity of the platform among college students, this study explores college students' experiences with PFU and the coping strategies they adopt through the semi‐structured interview method. The preliminary results from six participants demonstrate three themes of PFU (i.e., PFU in context, conflict of use, and self‐measure of PFU) and four themes of coping strategies (i.e., time management, blocking access, peer supervision, and finding substitution). The findings from this study can inform future research and intervention design to help college students maintain a healthy and sustained use of SNSs.
