Abstract：
A growing number of studies have reported that problematic social networking use (PSNU) is strongly associated with anxiety symptoms. However, due to the presence of multiple anxiety subtypes, existing research findings on the extent of this association vary widely, leading to a lack of consensus. The current meta-analysis aimed to summarize studies exploring the relationship between PSNU levels and anxiety symptoms, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, attachment anxiety, and fear of missing out. 209 studies with a total of 172 articles were included in the meta-analysis, involving 252,337 participants from 28 countries. The results showed a moderately positive association between PSNU and generalized anxiety (GA), social anxiety (SA), attachment anxiety (AA), and fear of missing out (FoMO) respectively (GA: r = 0.388, 95% CI [0.362, 0.413]; SA: r = 0.437, 95% CI [0.395, 0.478]; AA: r = 0.345, 95% CI [0.286, 0.402]; FoMO: r = 0.496, 95% CI [0.461, 0.529]), and there were different regulatory factors between PSNU and different anxiety subtypes. This study provides the first comprehensive estimate of the association of PSNU with multiple anxiety subtypes, which vary by time of measurement, region, gender, and measurement tool.
摘要：
越来越多的研究报告说，有问题的社交网络使用（PSNU）与焦虑症状密切相关。然而,由于存在多种焦虑亚型，关于这种关联程度的现有研究结果差异很大，导致缺乏共识。当前的荟萃分析旨在总结探索PSNU水平与焦虑症状之间关系的研究，包括广泛性焦虑，社交焦虑,依恋焦虑,害怕错过。209项研究共172篇文章被纳入荟萃分析，涉及来自28个国家的252,337名参与者。结果显示，PSNU和广泛性焦虑(GA)之间存在中度正相关，社交焦虑（SA），依恋焦虑（AA），和害怕错过（FoMO）（GA：r=0.388，95％CI[0.362，0.413]；SA：r=0.437，95％CI[0.395，0.478]；AA：r=0.345，95％CI[0.286，0.402]；FoMO：r=0.496，95％CI[0.461，0.529]），PSNU和不同焦虑亚型之间存在不同的调节因素。这项研究提供了PSNU与多种焦虑亚型的相关性的第一个综合估计，随测量时间而变化，区域,性别,和测量工具。
