Social media addiction is increasingly prevalent, especially among adolescents. There are many factors that make adolescents addicted to social media.

Participants (N=100) adolescents completed a measure of assertive behavior and social media addiction behavior. Data analysis technique was conducted by means of SPSS 21 correlation test. The results of this study show that there is a relationship between assertive behavior and social media addiction in adolescents (r = .01 p < .05).
