Short video apps are very popular among Chinese college students, and some students even rely on them. Most of the current research has focused only on Internet addiction and has seldom focused on the phenomenon of short video addiction. Its influencing factors and formation mechanism are worth exploring.
This study aimed to explore the relationship between social exclusion and short video addiction among college students and the mediating roles of boredom and self-control.
This study adopted a multistage investigation and investigated 532 college students (39% male; mean age 19.32 ± 1.23 years) with a social exclusion scale, boredom proneness scale, self-control scale, and short video addiction scale. The mediating effect was tested with Process 3.1.
The results showed that social exclusion has a positive predictive effect on college student's short video addiction. The impact of social exclusion on college student's short video addiction was mediated by boredom and self-control, and the chained mediation of boredom and self-control.
Theoretically, this study modified the I-PACE model, indicating that personal and distant social factors should be considered in individuals with behavioral addictions, such as short video addiction. Practically, the results suggested that schools should reduce peer rejection and improve students' mental health literacy to reduce boredom and enhance self-control, thus effectively preventing short video addiction.
短视频应用在中国大学生中非常受欢迎，一些学生甚至对其产生依赖。目前的研究大多只关注网络成瘾，很少关注短视频成瘾现象。其影响因素和形成机制值得探讨。
本研究旨在探讨大学生社会排斥与短视频成瘾之间的关系以及无聊和自我控制的中介作用。
本研究采用多阶段调查，使用社会排斥量表、无聊倾向量表、自我控制量表和短视频成瘾量表对532名大学生（男性占39%；平均年龄19.32±1.23岁）进行调查。采用Process 3.1检验中介效应。
结果表明，社会排斥对大学生短视频成瘾具有正向预测作用。社会排斥对大学生短视频成瘾的影响通过无聊和自我控制以及无聊和自我控制的链式中介起作用。
从理论上讲，本研究修正了I-PACE模型，表明在短视频成瘾等行为成瘾个体中应考虑个人和远距离社会因素。在实践中，结果表明学校应减少同伴排斥，提高学生的心理健康素养，以减少无聊并增强自我控制，从而有效预防短视频成瘾。
