This study examined the mediating effects of experiential avoidance and interpersonal problems on the relationship between social anxiety and social networking service (SNS) addiction proneness.
An online survey was conducted on 400 university students in their 20s across Republic of Korea. The scales used in the study were the Social Interaction Anxiety Scale (SIAS), Korean Acceptance-Action Questionnaire-II (K-AAQ-II), Short form of the Korean Inventory of Interpersonal Problems Circumplex Scale (KIIP-SC), and SNS addiction proneness scale for university students. For data analysis, structural equation modeling was conducted, and phantom variables were used to verify the significance of individual indirect effects of the multiple mediation model.
Social anxiety had no direct effect on SNS addiction proneness. Experiential avoidance and interpersonal problems completely mediate the relationship between social anxiety and SNS addiction proneness sequentially.
Our result suggests that experiential avoidance leads to interpersonal problems and SNS addiction proneness. In other words, it is important to alleviate experiential avoidance in treating or preventing interpersonal problems and SNS addiction proneness among university students with social anxiety.
本研究考察了经验性回避和人际问题在社交焦虑与社交网络服务（SNS）成瘾倾向关系中的中介作用。
对韩国400名20多岁的大学生进行了在线调查。本研究使用的量表包括社交互动焦虑量表（SIAS）、韩国接纳与行动问卷-II（K-AAQ-II）、韩国人际问题环形量表简版（KIIP-SC）以及大学生SNS成瘾倾向量表。数据分析采用结构方程模型，并使用虚拟变量来验证多重中介模型中个体间接效应的显著性。
社交焦虑对SNS成瘾倾向没有直接影响。经验性回避和人际问题依次完全中介了社交焦虑与SNS成瘾倾向之间的关系。
我们的结果表明，经验性回避会导致人际问题和SNS成瘾倾向。换句话说，在治疗或预防社交焦虑大学生的人际问题和SNS成瘾倾向时，减轻经验性回避很重要。
