Abstract

Background and aims: Previous evidence has indicated that problematic social media use (PSMU) is characterized by an attentional bias to social media icons (such as Facebook icons), but not to social webpages (such as Facebook webpages). They suggest that there may be other factors influencing attentional bias like fear of missing out (FoMO). But it remains unclear how FoMO moderates attentional bias in PSMU. This study aims to investigate whether PSMU show attentional bias for stimuli associated with social media, and how FoMO moderates on attentional bias among PSMU through experimental methods.

Methods: Based on the Interaction of Person-Affect-Cognition-Execution (I-PACE) model, this study explored mechanisms of attentional bias to social media icons (such as WeChat) related to PSMU and further examined the role of FoMO in this relationship. Specifically, attentional bias patterns to social media icons of 62 participants (31 PSMU and 31 control group) were explored during a dot-probe paradigm combined with eye-tracking in Experiment 1, and attentional bias patterns to social media icons of another 61 individuals with PSMU with different FoMO levels was explored during a dot-probe paradigm combined with eye-tracking in Experiment 2.

Results: Results revealed that individuals with PSMU had an attentional bias toward social media icons, demonstrated by attentional maintenance, and such bias such bias was moderated by FoMO negatively, demonstrated by attentional vigilance and maintenance in PSMU/high FoMO.

Conclusion: These results suggest that attentional bias is a common mechanism associated with PSMU, and FoMO is a key factor on the development of PSMU.

社交媒体问题用户对社交媒体刺激的注意偏差会受到害怕错过的影响。
背景和目的:以往的证据表明,有问题的社交媒体使用(PSMU)的特点是对社交媒体图标(如 Facebook 图标)的注意偏向,而不是对社交网页(如 Facebook 网页)的注意偏向。他们认为,可能还有其他因素会影响注意力偏向,比如害怕错过(FoMO)。但 FoMO 如何调节 PSMU 中的注意偏差仍不清楚。本研究旨在通过实验方法,探讨 PSMU 是否会对与社交媒体相关的刺激产生注意偏差,以及 FoMO 如何调节 PSMU 的注意偏差:本研究基于 "人-影响-认知-执行 "互动模型(I-PACE),探讨了 PSMU 对社交媒体图标(如微信)的注意偏向机制,并进一步研究了 FoMO 在这一关系中的作用。具体而言,在实验1中,通过点探测范式结合眼动跟踪,探讨了62名参与者(31名PSMU和31名对照组)对社交媒体图标的注意偏差模式;在实验2中,通过点探测范式结合眼动跟踪,探讨了另外61名不同FoMO水平的PSMU个体对社交媒体图标的注意偏差模式:结果显示,PSMU患者对社交媒体图标存在注意偏差,表现为注意维持,这种偏差受到FoMO的负面调节,表现为PSMU/高FoMO患者的注意警觉性和注意维持:这些结果表明,注意偏差是与 PSMU 相关的一种常见机制,而 FoMO 是 PSMU 发展的一个关键因素。

期刊介绍: The aim of Journal of Behavioral Addictions is to create a forum for the scientific information exchange with regard to behavioral addictions. The journal is a broad focused interdisciplinary one that publishes manuscripts on different approaches of non-substance addictions, research reports focusing on the addictive patterns of various behaviors, especially disorders of the impulsive-compulsive spectrum, and also publishes reviews in these topics. Coverage ranges from genetic and neurobiological research through psychological and clinical psychiatric approaches to epidemiological, sociological and anthropological aspects.
