Due to its diversifying and appealing content, short-form videos have developed very rapidly since its emergence, with more and more users enjoying the transient pleasures from such videos, which have triggered widespread concern over the detrimental influence of short-form video addiction on adolescent health.
The present study intended to examine the longitudinal relations among paternal/maternal harsh parenting, adolescents' emotional dysregulation and their short-form video addiction using a cross-lagged longitudinal design.
We recruited a sample of 1064 adolescent students from two middle schools located in rural areas of eastern China.
Adolescents reported on paternal and maternal harsh parenting, their own emotional dysregulation and short-form video addiction at three time points across two years. Autoregressive and cross-lagged models were analyzed using three-wave variables to test the associations among parental (maternal) harsh parenting, adolescent emotional dysregulation, and short-form video addiction. A multi-group analysis was used to test for potential gender differences in the model.
We found that harsh fathering but not harsh mothering contributed to adolescent emotional dysregulation, which in turn predicted adolescent short-form video addiction. However, the reverse longitudinal relationships did not exist. Multiple group analyses revealed that the predictive effect of harsh fathering on adolescent emotional dysregulation was stronger in boys.
Our findings help clarify the complex relationships among harsh parenting, adolescent emotional dysregulation and short-form addiction, providing more effective guidance for prevention against adolescent short-form video addiction.
由于其多样化和吸引人的内容，短视频自出现以来发展非常迅速，越来越多的用户享受着这种视频带来的短暂快感，这引发了人们对短视频成瘾对青少年健康的不良影响的广泛关注。
本研究旨在使用交叉滞后纵向设计检验亲代严厉教养、青少年情绪调节障碍与短视频成瘾之间的纵向关系。
我们从位于中国东部农村地区的两所中学招募了 1064 名青少年学生作为样本。
青少年在两年内的三个时间点上报告了亲代严厉教养、自身情绪调节障碍和短视频成瘾情况。使用三波变量分析自回归和交叉滞后模型，以检验父母（母亲）严厉教养、青少年情绪调节障碍和短视频成瘾之间的关联。多组分析用于检验模型中的潜在性别差异。
我们发现严厉的父亲教养而不是严厉的母亲教养会导致青少年情绪调节障碍，而情绪调节障碍又反过来预测青少年短视频成瘾。然而，没有相反的纵向关系存在。多组分析表明，严厉的父亲教养对青少年情绪调节障碍的预测作用在男孩中更强。
我们的研究结果有助于阐明严厉教养、青少年情绪调节障碍与短视频成瘾之间的复杂关系，为预防青少年短视频成瘾提供更有效的指导。
