Addiction to the Internet and social networks has an important psychology aspect. That is why there are some articles about the connection of the addiction problem and psychology. I found a review of some literature on this issue. There is much information about outlining SNS (social networking sites) usage patterns, examining motivations for SNS usage, examining personalities of SNS users, examining negative consequences of SNS usage, exploring potential SNS addiction, and exploring SNS addiction specificity and comorbidity.
In results of this paper you can find summary information on every of six topics above. What is interesting, Daria J. Kuss and Mark D. Griffiths made a conclusion that "extraverts appear to use social networking sites for social enhancement, whereas introverts use it for social compensation" and that usage of social networks "decrease in real life social community participation and academic achievement, as well as relationship problems, each of which may be indicative of potential addiction"!
