Presently, social media is widely used worldwide among different populations. Therefore, phubbing rapidly became a popular phenomenon in our daily life. However, little is known about the underlying mechanism and interaction between social media use and phubbing. Therefore, this research examines the mediating and moderating role of cognitive flexibility in the association between social media addiction and phubbing. Participants were 385 university students (280 females) studying at a state university in eastern Turkey and completed the self-reported measures of cognitive flexibility, social media addiction, and phubbing. The results showed that cognitive flexibility mediated and moderated the effect of social media addiction on phubbing. These findings may contribute to the discussion around the psychological consequences of using social media alongside increasing awareness about factors affecting and explaining the association between social media use and phubbing, which have important implications for research and practice.
目前，社交媒体在全球不同人群中被广泛使用。因此，低头族迅速成为我们日常生活中的一种普遍现象。然而，关于社交媒体使用与低头族之间的潜在机制和相互作用却知之甚少。因此，本研究考察了认知灵活性在社交媒体成瘾与低头族之间的关联中所起的中介和调节作用。参与者为385名在土耳其东部一所国立大学就读的大学生（280名女性），他们完成了关于认知灵活性、社交媒体成瘾和低头族的自我报告测量。结果表明，认知灵活性在社交媒体成瘾对低头族的影响中起中介和调节作用。这些发现可能有助于围绕使用社交媒体的心理后果展开讨论，同时提高人们对影响和解释社交媒体使用与低头族之间关联的因素的认识，这对研究和实践具有重要意义。
