BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Emerging adults live in a time of rapid technological change, with social media playing a central role in their daily lives. While frequent use of social media is linked to reduced well-being, it also supports personal growth and the pursuit of individual goals. This study aims to identify the relationships between attitudes toward social media and psychological well-being in the context of the mediating roles of Facebook addiction and perceived stress in emerging adulthood.
The study included 294 participants, with a mean age of 23.76 years (SD = 3.23). The following tools were used to measure the variables: the Social Media Mindsets Scale (translated by the authors), the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale, the Perceived Stress Scale, the Psychological Well-Being Scale, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. Correlation and mediation analyses were conducted.
The findings confirmed most of the assumptions. Attitudes toward social media were positively correlated with psychological well-being. Furthermore, Facebook addiction and perceived stress serve as serial mediators between attitudes toward social media and well-being.
Based on the results, practical interventions can be developed to prevent addictions and reinforce stress management, which will help young people maintain their well-being and mental health.
背景/目的：新兴成年人生活在技术快速变革的时代，社交媒体在他们的日常生活中起着核心作用。虽然频繁使用社交媒体与幸福感降低有关，但它也支持个人成长和个人目标的追求。本研究旨在确定在新兴成年期，在脸书成瘾和感知压力的中介作用背景下，对社交媒体的态度与心理健康之间的关系。
该研究包括294名参与者，平均年龄为23.76岁（标准差 = 3.23）。使用以下工具来测量变量：社交媒体心态量表（由作者翻译）、卑尔根脸书成瘾量表、感知压力量表、心理健康量表和生活满意度量表。进行了相关性和中介分析。
研究结果证实了大部分假设。对社交媒体的态度与心理健康呈正相关。此外，脸书成瘾和感知压力在对社交媒体的态度与幸福感之间起连续中介作用。
基于这些结果，可以制定实际干预措施来预防成瘾并加强压力管理，这将有助于年轻人保持他们的幸福感和心理健康。
