The current chapter sets out to create a holistic overview of the relationships between social media use, stress, and coping. It discusses the ways in which social media can be employed as an adaptive way of coping by supporting information seeking and by providing online social support. However, the nature and design of social media platforms can enable maladaptive ways of coping by facilitating cyberbullying and negative online social comparison. Furthermore, the chapter examines how social media can be a coping liability when the user is psychologically dependent or addicted to media, or when their use prevents them from learning other ways to cope. Additionally, social media use is introduced as a stressor for young users through fear of missing out. Lastly, social media can be a resource for coping by providing assistance in coping with social media-related stressors and by providing ways to establish social resources or social support.

This chapter provides an overview of the key areas of agreement and debate about workaholism, particularly its conceptualization, prevention, and treatment. The chapter integrates biomedical and health psychology perspectives with a view to challenging and advancing understanding on how to prevent people from developing a problematic relationship with work, and how best to support those experiencing the problem. The chapter begins by reviewing the conceptualization of workaholism, and then reviews the existing evidence concerning the main correlates and vulnerability factors. This discussion then leads to an exploration into alternative ways that workaholism can be theorized, in particular biopsychosocial models and critical theory of addiction. Building upon this combined theoretical perspective, the chapter ends by reviewing and speculating on different aspects of prevention and treatment according to the different stakeholders involved.
