With the explosive development of the short-form video (SFV) industry in recent years, the issue of SFV addiction among young people has attracted increasing attention from scholarship. Researchers have found that proactive personality is negatively associated with behavioral addiction. Additionally, SFV Apps tend to place users in a "filter bubble" to passively consume the pushed video content. Proactiveness could be an effective trait to resist the excessive use of SFVs. Thus, proactive personality may be a negative predictor of SFV addiction.
The present study aims at investigating the relationship between proactive personality and SFV addiction among college students, and the psychological mechanism underlying the relationship, i.e., the mediating roles of resilience and self-control.
Convenience sampling was adopted to conduct an online questionnaire survey among college students from 8 universities in 5 provinces of China. Proactive personality scale (PPS), brief resilience scale (BRS), Brief self-control scale (BSCS), and SFV addiction scale were applied in designing the questionnaire. A total of 560 valid questionnaires were obtained with ages ranging from 17 to 22 (19.32±1.14), among whom 40.18% were males and 59.28% females.
SFV addiction among college students was negatively correlated with proactive personality, resilience, and self-control. Proactive personality has significant direct effect on SFV addiction, and the other two variables play partial mediating roles including chain mediation between proactive personality and SFV addiction. The ratio of SFV addicts amounted to 23.57%, which was slightly higher compared to previous research findings.
Proactive personality negatively predicts SFV addiction among college students and the mediators of resilience and self-control play partially mediating roles between proactive personality and SFV addiction.
近年来,随着短视频(SFV)行业的爆炸式发展,年轻人的 SFV 成瘾问题引起了学术界越来越多的关注。研究人员发现,主动性人格与行为成瘾呈负相关。此外,SFV 应用程序往往会将用户置于“过滤泡”中,被动地消费推送的视频内容。积极性可能是抵抗过度使用 SFV 的有效特质。因此,主动性人格可能是 SFV 成瘾的负预测因子。
本研究旨在探讨大学生主动性人格与 SFV 成瘾之间的关系,以及其中的心理机制,即韧性和自我控制的中介作用。
采用方便抽样法,对来自中国 5 个省 8 所大学的大学生进行在线问卷调查。问卷设计采用主动性人格量表(PPS)、简要韧性量表(BRS)、简要自我控制量表(BSCS)和 SFV 成瘾量表。共获得 560 份有效问卷,年龄在 17 至 22 岁之间(19.32±1.14),其中男生占 40.18%,女生占 59.28%。
大学生 SFV 成瘾与主动性人格、韧性和自我控制呈负相关。主动性人格对 SFV 成瘾有显著的直接影响,另外两个变量韧性和自我控制起部分中介作用,包括在主动性人格和 SFV 成瘾之间的链式中介。SFV 成瘾者的比例达到 23.57%,略高于之前的研究结果。
