Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated social media addiction (SMA), making it urgent to find effective interventions for social media addiction. Evidence has shown that mindfulness might be an effective intervention for social media addiction. However, psychological mechanisms by which mindfulness reduce social media use remain unclear. Here, we further addressed this issue to examine whether attentional control and fear of missing out (FOMO) mediate the relationship between mindfulness and SMA.
UNASSIGNED: We recruited 446 college students from two universities in China and analyzed the data.
UNASSIGNED: The results suggest that there are mediation effects of attentional control and FOMO between mindfulness and SMA through 3 paths: path 1, mindfulness → attention control → SMA (-0.04); path 2, mindfulness → FOMO → SMA (-0.22); and path 3, mindfulness → attention control → FOMO → SMA (-0.05).
UNASSIGNED: Therefore, mindfulness-based interventions may be an effective way to alleviate social media addiction, especially mindfulness-based interventions targeting FOMO. At the end of the article, we also discussed the limitations of this study.
摘要:
COVID-19大流行加剧了社交媒体成瘾(SMA),迫切需要找到有效的社交媒体成瘾干预措施。有证据表明,正念可能是社交媒体成瘾的有效干预措施。然而,正念减少社交媒体使用的心理机制尚不清楚。这里,我们进一步讨论了这个问题,以检查注意力控制和错过恐惧(FOMO)是否调解正念和SMA之间的关系。
我们从中国两所大学招募了446名大学生,并对数据进行了分析。
结果表明,注意控制和FOMO在正念和SMA之间通过3条路径存在中介作用:路径1,正念→注意控制→SMA(-0.04);路径2,正念→FOMO→SMA(-0.22);路径3,正念→注意控制→FOMO→SMA(-0.05)。
因此,基于正念的干预可能是缓解社交媒体成瘾的有效方法,尤其是针对FOMO的基于正念的干预措施。在文章的最后,我们还讨论了这项研究的局限性。
