Abstract

Introduction: Mobile social media is a new type of online media that is participatory, open, and communicative, among other characteristics. Due to the increasing popularity of social media, this technology has become an indispensable part of people's social lives. This study aims to examine the relationship between childhood psychological maltreatment and social media addiction among university students as well as the mediating role of fear of missing out and the moderating effect of left-behind experience in this context.

Material and methods: A voluntary anonymous online survey of 1694 university students was conducted using the Childhood Psychological Maltreatment Scale, the Fear of Missing Out Scale, and the Social Media Addiction Scale.

Results: First, significant positive correlations were observed between childhood psychological maltreatment and both fear of missing out and social media addiction among university students. Fear of missing out partially mediated the relationship between childhood psychological maltreatment and social media addiction. Second, left-behind experience was found to moderate the direct path from childhood psychological maltreatment to social media addiction as well as the first half of the mediating effect of missed anxiety.

Conclusions: Childhood psychological maltreatment can predict social media addiction among university students not only directly but also indirectly through the mediating role of missed anxiety. The direct effect of childhood psychological maltreatment on social media addiction is moderated by left-behind experience. The first half of the mediating role of missed anxiety is also moderated by left-behind experience.

大学生童年心理虐待与社交媒体成瘾之间的关系:"害怕错过 "的中介作用和 "留守经验 "的调节作用。
简介移动社交媒体是一种新型网络媒体,具有参与性、开放性和交流性等特点。随着社交媒体的日益普及,这一技术已成为人们社交生活中不可或缺的一部分。本研究旨在探讨大学生童年心理虐待与社交媒体成瘾之间的关系,以及在此背景下 "害怕错过 "的中介作用和 "留守经验 "的调节作用:采用儿童心理虐待量表、对缺失的恐惧量表和社交媒体成瘾量表,对1694名大学生进行了自愿匿名在线调查:首先,在大学生中观察到童年心理虐待与害怕缺失和社交媒体成瘾之间存在明显的正相关。对缺失的恐惧部分地调解了童年心理虐待与社交媒体成瘾之间的关系。其次,研究发现留守经验调节了从童年心理虐待到社交媒体成瘾的直接路径,以及错过焦虑的前半部分中介效应:结论:童年心理虐待不仅能直接预测大学生的社交媒体成瘾,还能通过遗漏焦虑的中介作用间接预测大学生的社交媒体成瘾。童年心理虐待对社交媒体成瘾的直接影响受到留守经验的调节。遗漏焦虑的前半部分中介作用也被留守经历所调节。

期刊介绍: Archives of Medical Science (AMS) publishes high quality original articles and reviews of recognized scientists that deal with all scientific medicine. AMS opens the possibilities for young, capable scientists. The journal would like to give them a chance to have a publication following matter-of-fact, professional review by outstanding, famous medical scientists. Thanks to that they will have an opportunity to present their study results and/or receive useful advice about the mistakes they have made so far. The second equally important aim is a presentation of review manuscripts of recognized scientists about the educational capacity, in order that young scientists, often at the beginning of their scientific carrier, could constantly deepen their medical knowledge and be up-to-date with current guidelines and trends in world-wide medicine. The fact that our educational articles are written by world-famous scientists determines their innovation and the highest quality.
