abstract = {Objective: This review aimed to synthesize and analyze the relationship between regulatory processes (self-
regulation, emotion regulation, self-control and impulsivity) and problematic social media use (PSMU) in the
general population.
Method: A systematic search was conducted in five databases, and all articles published from May 2013 to April
2024 were identified.
Results: After screening 2655 articles, 45 studies were included in the review. The total sample comprised 34,332
participants. The results confirm the effect of regulatory processes on the PSMU. This relationship is present in all
age groups and in different cultures. Furthermore, the mediating effect of regulation on the relationship between
PSMU and variables like anxiety, depression, self-esteem or attachment has been observed. Despite the confir-
matory nature of these studies, their results should be interpreted with caution because they may be influenced
by certain methodological limitations in the research on which they are based.
Conclusion: Regulatory processes play a fundamental role in the PSMU. These findings contribute to a deeper
understanding of this behavior and offer insights for the development of effective prevention and intervention
strategies},
