Depression, anxiety, and stress are the main issues that affect the mental health of individuals. Solitude behavior, fear of missing out, and mental health are all closely related.
This study was intended to investigate the relationship between solitude behavior, fear of missing out, and mental health.
Short Form of Solitude Behavior Scale, Fear of Missing Out scale, and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 were employed in this study to investigate 616 college students. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 for basic data organization, and Mplus 8.3 was used to complete the analysis of the mediation model.
(1) Positive solitude was positively associated with eccentricity and negatively related to loneliness; social avoidance positively correlated with eccentricity and loneliness. (2) Social avoidance and loneliness affected mental health through the mediating effect of fear of missing out, whereas positive solitude and eccentricity did not affect mental health through fear of missing out. Moreover, the results still held in the model with depression, anxiety, and stress as dependent variables.
The roles of different solitude behavior in the relationship between fear of missing out and mental health differed. Social avoidance and loneliness as not self-determined solitude could activate the fear of missing out, which could affect mental health.
抑郁、焦虑和压力是影响个体心理健康的主要问题。孤独行为、害怕错过和心理健康密切相关。
本研究旨在探讨孤独行为、害怕错过和心理健康之间的关系。
本研究采用短版孤独行为量表、害怕错过量表和抑郁焦虑压力量表-21 对 616 名大学生进行调查。使用 SPSS 26.0 对收集到的数据进行基本数据整理，使用 Mplus 8.3 完成中介模型分析。
（1）积极的孤独与怪癖呈正相关，与孤独呈负相关；社交回避与怪癖和孤独呈正相关。（2）社交回避和孤独通过害怕错过的中介作用影响心理健康，而积极的孤独和怪癖则没有通过害怕错过影响心理健康。此外，在以抑郁、焦虑和压力为因变量的模型中，结果仍然成立。
不同孤独行为在害怕错过和心理健康之间的关系中扮演着不同的角色。社交回避和孤独作为非自我决定的孤独会激活害怕错过，从而影响心理健康。
