The COVID-19 pandemic has coincided with a global increase in problematic social networking sites use (PSNSU). By drawing on transactional stress theory and applying the stressor-strain-outcome (SSO) framework, we proposed and verified a chain mediation model to explore the mediating roles of fear of missing out (FoMO) and future anxiety (FA) in the relationship between COVID-19 lockdown stress (CL stress) and PSNSU. Our sample of 670 quarantined college students in China responded to a COVID-19 student stress questionnaire, a social network addiction scale, a fear of missing out scale, and a dark future scale. The results revealed that (1) CL stress significantly positively predicted PSNSU, (2) both FoMO and FA mediated the relationship between CL stress and PSNSU, (3) FoMO significantly positively predicted FA, and (4) a full chain mediation was observed between CL stress and PSNSU.
新冠疫情的爆发与全球范围内问题社交网站使用(PSNSU)的增加同时发生。本研究通过借鉴交易压力理论,并应用压力-紧张-结果(SSO)框架,提出并验证了一个链式中介模型,以探讨错失恐惧(FoMO)和未来焦虑(FA)在新冠封锁压力(CL 压力)与 PSNSU 之间的关系中的中介作用。我们的样本由中国 670 名被隔离的大学生组成,他们回答了一份新冠学生压力问卷、一份社交网络成瘾量表、一份错失恐惧量表和一份黑暗未来量表。结果表明:(1)CL 压力显著正向预测 PSNSU;(2)FoMO 和 FA 在 CL 压力与 PSNSU 之间均起中介作用;(3)FoMO 显著正向预测 FA;(4)CL 压力与 PSNSU 之间存在完全链式中介。
