Objective: To explore the psychological and behavioral characteristics of problematic social networks usage. Methods: Totally 11 problematic social networks users were selected from 269 Beijing college students who often used social networks, and they were also deeply interviewed. The Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used to analyze transcriptional texts. Results: Problematic social networks usage was classified into the following 6 aspects, deviant behaviors, poor attention state, impaired social function, bad moods, abstinence reaction (withdrawal) and tolerance. Conclusion: The present study generalizes the psychological and behavioral characteristics of problematic social networks usage and offers the basis of exploring its measurement tools.
